The latest that we can talk about is always at:

We (the County and ourselves) wait on the FAA. The County refuses to
negociate in the interim. The political and financial aspects continue
to be revealed. The County is not seeking FAA money for the HMT
improvements which leads us to believe the refusal to negociate is a
delay tactic rather than a sincere interest in knowing if the old long
safe situation was acceptable to the FAA. A recent article in the
local newspaper highlighted the "creative" way the County is trying to
finance the improvements...kind of like two broke drunks (the County
and the State of CA) promising to buy each other a beer! We have
always maintained the position that we could continue to operate while
coordinating with CDF.

The FAA could withhold future funds in other County owned airports
based on the County's actions at HMT. I don't think the County has
figured this out yet or choses to sweep it under the rug for the
moment. The County has many problems, many far larger than ourselves,
so the wheels of Truth Justice and the American way move slowly.

We have our friends, they continue to feed us info which we stockpile
as ammo. We could win at the FAA and still loose with the County. This
was a 50/50 battle going in and remains that way.
