Turboprops exempt...oh boy!!!

I just received an e-mail from Senator Maria Cantwell telling me that
the proposed user fee of $25 per flight would not impact 90 percent of
general aviation because recreational flights are exempt and so are
all turboprop flights outside of controlled airspace. Golly gee! That
means that I can (in my dreams) fly my turboprop single less than 1200
feet above the ground over much of the state of Washington for
free...turboprop pilots in the eastern states can descend even lower
to smell the roses without paying!
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much this computer
geek-millionaire-senator knows about uncontrolled airspace?

Significantly less than the average amoeba.
