The Safe Aviation Coalition (SAC) and their supporters will be there as promised; not their staff.
When asked by the FAA whether town officials wanted an opportunity to make comments, Councilman Abraham said he told the FAA no as the town had no standing in the matter.
SAC thinks differently about town involvement. In fact at Monday evening;s board meeting, a SAC member asked whether the town board approved IDA's. It was answered yes. The town approved three IDA's for the private airport. That is but one example of the town's involvement in the airport matter.
