Anti-Airport Pols Lose Again!

This from the AOPA e-Pilot:

ANTI-AIRPORT CANDIDATES GET VOTED DOWN IN FLORIDA
Anti-airport hysteria didn't sell in Martin County, Florida. Voters on
Tuesday rejected all three of the county commission candidates running
on a platform of downsizing Witham Field in Stuart. And it was a
resounding
defeat for the anti-airport three; none received more than 30 percent of
the vote in the primary election. AOPA had rushed to the defense of the
airport after an anti-airport group of wealthy homeowners calling itself
WAAM (Witham Airport Action Majority) polluted the community with a
mishmash of misinformation and scare tactics designed to put their
candidates on the county commission. AOPA countered with a series of
newspaper ads, carefully laying out the facts about the airport and
the benefits that it provides to the community. See
