I thought the Okaloosa airport was a public entity and non-profit. Did I miss something?

Just think if they do close you can buy one of those 3 wheel scooters they never use.
 
Airport flap: More than rumors, local officials say | county, airport, florida - News - Northwest Florida Daily News


Curry and members of the County Commission were in Washington, D.C., to meet with Northwest Florida's federal lawmakers about the economic stimulus program. While meeting separately with U.S. Reps. Allen Boyd and Jeff Miller, the Okaloosa County officials were told of a group of individuals seeking support for closing Northwest Florida Regional Airport based on legal grounds with the Air Force.

"We're not talking about rumors here," Curry said. "We're talking about a physical presence in Washington, there for the detriment of our airport."

The congressmen told the Okaloosa County officials the four people petitioning for Northwest Florida Regional Airport's closure were Harrison; Brian Yablonski, the vice president of public affairs for St. Joe Co.; Lisa Walters, a Panama City attorney and chair of the Bay County Economic Development Alliance; and Jerry Ray, senior vice president of St. Joe and a member of the board of directors of Coastal Vision 3000.


wow..imagine if they put that much effort into doing something positive around here.
 
How could you say such a thing. Didn't JOE donate the land for the new airport? That looks like a selfless act with limited upside potential.

...ah-so--but when you combine it with lobbying Congress to shut down one's nearest competitor, the upside potential becomes a bit more upside.
