Election results may bring good change to aviation

I did not vote for Bush, and so consider his re-election a catastrophe
in many ways, however there is some good news. AVWeb has just posted
the following: Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska is taking over the Commerce,
Science and Transportation Committee, which they explained sets policy
for the FAA, from Sen. John McCain of Arizona. AOPA is said to be
glad to hear this as they never could get McCain to see their point of
view regarding user fees. AOPA claims Stevens is "a strong and
forceful friend to General Aviation."

Yes and my Senator visited my Tower this morning saying he would
probably be moving to the Aviation committee because of McCain moving to
a different committee. We of course lobbied him about putting radar
into an airport about 140 miles SW of us and having us work the traffic.
That will probably happen. Then his cell phone rang. He got a report
that Arafat had died. His response..."Good, the little good for nothing
prick gummed up the works." High fives all around. A later call
reported that he is just near death, more jokes all around.
