Recent Political Change May Positively Affect GA
Recent Political Change May Positively Affect GA It's about time: ------------------------------------------------------------------- AVwebFlash Volume 12, Number 45b -- November 9, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES IN CONGRESS WILL AFFECT GA, SAYS AOPA (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#193663) On Tuesday, voters changed the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives, and apparently the Senate, from Republican to Democratic, and this will have a positive impact for pilots, says AOPA President Phil Boyer (http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsite...congress.html). "Now we can be assured of a fair hearing from people who understand aviation and aren't beholden to the White House," Boyer said. Aviation user fees have been strongly pushed by the Bush administration. But the power shift in the House will most likely put Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., in charge of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and he is a long-time friend to GA, AOPA said yesterday. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#193663 So Boyer took offence at the prospect of paying (Jack Abramoff* and Tom Delay**) to get his agenda before congress? * http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...off-bush_x.htm ** http://www.boston.com/news/nation/wa...+National+News |
