Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Our coalition is here to send a clear message to
lawmakers that we stand united against a radical "user fees"
proposal which would decimate businesses and communities around our
country through a huge tax hike. This special interest
legislation would benefit no one but the big commercial
airlines."
Source: Gene Wright, Mayor of Quinwood, WV.
Wright is also a pilot, and a member of the Alliance for Aviation
Across America -- a coalition formed specifically to fight the
"user fees" proposal that threatens to impose serious tax hikes on
small businesses and towns across America. Coalition members
include the League of Rural Voters, National Association of State
Aviation Officials, Air Care Alliance, National Farmer's Union,
National Agricultural Aviation Association, the National Business
Aviation Association, Angel Flight, Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association and hundreds of small and medium-size businesses from
around the country, according to the Alliance.
