Your property taxes aren't supporting the airport.

Years ago, in California, the California Pilots Assn. got the Division
of Aeronautics to conduct surveys to determine the economic value of the
state's GA airports.

The numbers were astounding! If we took the total and divided it by the
number of based airplanes, it came out to around $110K/based airplane --
and that was 25 years ago!

The politicians didn't like that, so they suppressed this program.

Then where has all the money gone over 15 years? 300 DOLLARS

What is suppressed, plenty of GA airports in CA and plenty of WRECKS
compare Fullerton to LAX.

Seeing as it is Dupage County I would suspect your money has been diverted
to some politicians pet pork project.

It was almost like they were an independent nation out there, with
**********no accountability**************
to the taxpayers," Schillerstrom said.

That has changed, he said.

"I think they've turned the corner. I'm very proud of what they're
doing," Schillerstrom said. "My goal is to get them off the taxes as
soon as possible."

The Airport Authority now collects about $6.5 million annually in real
estate taxes--about 20 percent of its $29.9 million a year budget. None

of the property-tax revenue is used to pay airport operating costs.
Instead, the funds are used to retire debt........ (OF THE AIRPORT)

Moochers, pay your own DEBT, JG

I see that "jgrove" omitted the fact that CA airports study showed
$110K/year economic benefit to airport areas per based aircraft (old
data, so we should assume more). He doesn't mention the amount of his
taxes going toward supporting street bums (sorry -- "homeless") or
bicycle lanes or other "feel good" tax-supported programs.


There are NO entries on my RESIDENTAL PROPERTY TAX BILL for:
-DuPage Bum Authority (many churches provide shelter services thru
PADS)
-Hoover Dam
-Yosemite NP
-Waikiki Beach
-New Jersey Turnpike
-Golden Gate Bridge

There is for the DPA.
