AIR STRIP IS A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY
Editor, The Sun:
The air strip license has been temporarily renewed!....I’m sure that makes Commissioner (Ralph) Thomas very happy. He’s fought tirelessly to continue wasting taxpayers money on this white elephant since the first day he was elected.....I’ve always wondered why?
Now we have a representative from Port St. Joe and a senator from Tallahassee in the battle??.....as far as I can see, the politicians and the Tarpiners are determined to keep this air strip with no regard for the wishes of the residents and taxpayers (opponents) of Wakulla County.....I understand the Tarpiners, they want a free air strip, but why are the politicians so adamant?.....is there something we’re not being told?.....maybe we’ll find out in August when the license expires again...
As Commissioner (Chuck) Hess points out, if the air strip remains, “We still have all the expense to upgrade the airport to meet FDOT requirements”....
