I've been out of flying twice this year with a back problem.
While I was out, a developer signed a contract to buy our
airport (N82) and the current airport manager is destined to
be his partner. The town offered to buy the airport for
more money than the developer, but the executrix of the
estate and heir to the airport property sold it to the
developer instead. (Two of the 4 heirs fought the
executrix, as they love the airport, but one recently died
of appendicitis, and the other is being evicted from her
family home on the airport property.)

The town doesn't want to lose the airport. The pilots were
told if they spoke at the town meeting against the developer
they'd be kicked off the airport.
There are laws against coersion I'd have my lawyer suit for enough for you
to take over the airport for payment! ;-)

I put developers in the same catagory as doctors (especially FAA!) and
lawyers.
