Palo Alto airport, potential long-term problems...

I really only meant to post the message as an alert to other people in
the area. If it wasn't clear from the attributions withing the text; I
did not write it myself.

That said, I am a user of PAO, a popular, heavily-used field. However,
I do not live in the city of Palo Alto, so have no real legal standing.
Perhaps there are people on this board who live in PA and want to get
involved.

And that will do what?

Oooohhh! Aaawwww! Wow, democracy in action!

Pardon my cynicism. You guys are so naive that if it weren't an
airport I'd be LMAO.

IF you are *really* serious about keeping KPAO--and you should be,
it's a nice airport--you need to get educated ASAP about how politics
*really* works. I'm not the guy to do it, but I know someone who can
point you in the right direction.

My guess is you don't really want to figure this out. It's a lot
preferable to huff and puff publically, tell each other you did the
best you could, and cry over a beer after you fly your planes
somewhere else. Invariably people don't really want advice, they
simply want affirmation of a course of action they've already decided
on.
