To the editor:
The Shawano airport; ah yes, indeed! First of all, it is not a public transport airport.
It is probably mostly for bloated, rich, golf-playing, globe-trotting elitists of a certain political leaning who travel the nation to discuss their “business U.S.A.” without fear of any inquisitive reporters asking questions. Between the airports and the golf courses, they are free to plan the usage of “business U.S.A.” without any interruptions or objections.
So, why ask for the city of Shawano, the state of Wisconsin, the U.S. government and taxpayers to pay for this flyway for the rich? Well, I guess these flyboys know that they can get away with it through cronyism of “bought and paid for” officials in Madison and Washington, D.C.
Sadly, the factor that put Republicans in control of congresses in both Madison and Washington, D.C., largely because they didn’t like the color of one man’s skin, will likely cause these congresses to OK the expenditure of a million dollars plus for the millionaires’ flyway.
All of us motorists and bikers get absolutely nothing from it unless we trade up from a car to an airplane. Get after this, Shawano citizens!
