NEW AIRPORT - YES/NO

This article was written by Ed Marx
a longtime resident of Camden
County.

Watch Out – If we the General
Public (general public being –
retirees, blue collar workers)
continue to sit back and
say nothing we will get a airport
jammed down our throats.

Let me get you up to date. Our Mayor
says the relocation of the airport is
being well received – by who – certainly
not the general public that make up
90% of the voting power of this
county.

Sea Island is giving the land
for the airport – why – it will be for
the rich, not for the working class or
people on fixed income. I am told that
the FAA will give a chunk of the money.
Guess what the FAA gets its money
from the Federal Government.
The Federal Government gets its money
from US (no free lunch) – you don’t
have to be smart to figure this out.

This is the part that is going to hurt the
working people. The infrastructure, roads,
sewer, water will be paid for with our tax
money. This money we will be drained
upfront from our pocket book.

This airport clearly will be a drain of our
tax money and a drain from our thin and
thinner pocket books. Its hard for me to
understand why our elected officials
even consider this airport when we
have so many airports near here.
There are 8 airports less than one hour away.
The new airport location near Woodbine will
be a short 20 minute drive from Brunswick
Airport that was completely rebuilt to state
of the art status. Someone please explain
to me why we need a airport? It surely is
not from the money it generates, so it
must be for a select few to enjoy at
our expense.

With this said I ask for only one thing.
Let the people of Camden County have
a say in this, let us vote on this! This
maybe tough to get on the voting
ballot , because the people pushing
this airport know if it would be put up
for a vote the general public would
reject it by a hugh margin. Talk to
your elected officials demand that this
is put to a vote. Don’t let a few people
decide this issue, its to big.
