WEINER AGREES NOT TO TARGET GA AFTER MEETING WITH AOPA
What does that tell you about how all the other legislation that gets
introduced? wrote: While this is a good thing that he admitted he was wrong, what is really sad is that this guy introduced legislation to imposed restrictions while uneducated on the subject matter. At least *some* politicians can admit that they were wrong and do the right thing. |

Or frequently just because a constituent asks him to, believe it or not. In the past I was a member of a small group that found a rep friendly to our cause, and each year he'd submit 5 or 6 bills for us. Most went nowhere other than a committee hearing. I guarantee he wasn't doing it because of $$$, because we didn't have any to give ;-) |

a Dumbo-crat;
a JF'n Dumbo-crat "Tom Fleischman" wrote in message rthlink.net... From AOPA: WEINER AGREES NOT TO TARGET GA AFTER MEETING WITH AOPA New York Congressman Anthony Weiner won't be targeting fixed-wing general aviation aircraft with security legislation after all. AOPA President Phil Boyer and Vice President of Legislative Affairs Jon Hixson had a substantive discussion with Weiner on Wednesday afternoon to explain GA security and reiterate AOPA members' opposition to his current security bill. At the conclusion of the meeting, Weiner said, "Tell your members I will not be pursuing fixed-wing aircraft. I will do further study on helicopter operations in New York City with a better understanding of Part 91 versus charter and sightseeing operations." Weiner introduced legislation that would require airline-style security screening and "continuous contact with the FAA" for every GA flight, and prohibit flight over densely populated cities or within 1,500 feet of any building. Weiner indicated that he has a better appreciation now of the security measures in place for GA. See AOPA Online. At least *some* politicians can admit that they were wrong and do the right thing. |
