USER FEE PROPOSAL DEAD?

Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., is close to declaring the FAA's proposal to
impose user fees on general aviation dead. "I think we've finally
gotten the stake out and are about to drive it through user fees," he
told The Wichita Eagle's editorial board last week. Tiahrt told the
Eagle brass that he's made fighting the funding proposal his top
priority and enlisted the support of other members of Congress to
defeat the plan. On the Eagle's editorial board's blog
(http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2007/...against_.html),
Tiahrt's tenacity was applauded but it appears that not everyone in
aviation-centric Wichita thinks user fees are a bad idea.
