Boxer: When she was a Marin County Supervisor, she fought (successfully)
against conversion of Hamilton AFB to a GA airport, claiming that it
would turn it over to the "hobby pilots." She has never been a friend of
GA. Her political friends were partners in the real estate development
company that finally obtained the lion's share of the property.

Google "Hamilton Landing".

Feinstein: She has used the same pejorative term and, again is no friend.

Shumer: As a Congressman, he introduced mandatory flight plan
legislation (fortunately it went nowhere).

Remember, too, that these people are "champions of the poor" and wish to
portray GA as a "rich man's activity." As such, they will vote to soak
us as much as possible.

The same people, their spouses, and best "buddies" fly in their private
or chartered jets - whoops that's GA. When was the last time, they flew
"cattle car"?
