I would like to have the firewood. You cannot get firewood without cutting down trees. The cycle of life. Tiger won't be playing there anyhow.

A couple of people have already asked about the firewood. 
We don't have anything to do with it out here, and if the City disposes of anything, they have to put it out for bid. The contractor trimming the trees is responsible for disposal--you would have to contact them.

QUOTE
No other airport project that I have ever seen has taken such care to have a minimal (or even beneficial) impact on the surrounding communty. Literally thousands of hours and thousands of dollars have been expended.
jimhanson has an issue with tax dollars being spent unless they're used to build Albert Lea a new airport for all those corporate jets just waiting to land.
"Wow, I'm somebody! Things are gonna start happening now!"
It's hard to play the part of the fiscal conservative when you're feeding at the same trough as the rest of them.
QUOTE
With people running off at the mouth without the facts, is it any wonder that this site has been called a bunch of whiners and complainers?
You sound like you've been working with the Chamber? I'd heard you were looking for a new club to hang with and it sounds like you found it.
Actually most people I talk to think the whining and complaining was cut down considerably when you and lapdog started posting your GOP garbage on the Tribune's site instead of boring us here with your whiney 1000 word talk radio posts about the evils of the Obama administration.
And save the "I don't listen to talk radio", or "I don't donate to the GOP" lines, they've been debunked so any times that it's become a bit of a joke.

Well--I see Libbie is still in his rant mode. 
We've been through all of these items before.
The proposal is the same as it was in 1953 (with the exception that the new runway is 400' west instead of 300')--a time when I was SIX YEARS OLD--yet you think this is MY idea?
You imply that this somehow benefits me--but never quite get around to mentioning HOW I would benefit. 
Never mind that every OTHER airport in the area built at the same time has completed their renovation years ago--and at a higher cost than Albert Lea.

I didn't say I don't listen to talk radio or TV--in fact, I watch both Fox and CNN (but I refuse to stoop to MSNBC)  Talk radio? I don't like radio--I don't even own a portable radio, and rarely have it on in my vehicle (I only drive 8500 miles a year, mainly 8 minutes at a time, to and from work). There is no radio in the office--but the guys in the shop have it on. Do you want me to prohibit that?  
Maybe you would like me to force them to listen to Air Amerika? That's RIGHT--nobody ELSE wanted to listen to that drivel, either! 
I know that you become angry when people increasingly reject your ideas, policies, and candidates--but instead of lashing out at others as the source of your troubles, LOOK INWARD, YOUNG LIBBIE! 
If I wanted bile and personal attacks, I would have listened to Air Amerika or visited the crazies over at Democrat Underground.
No, I quit posting here for the same reason that about 2000 others did. Look inward, libbie. You have only a few months before November, and even DEEPER depression and mental illness setting in. Check with Hoosier and see what medication worked for HIM.

"With a bigger runway you can buy bigger planes and store them in your/our hangars. Obviously without the longer runway when you buy a big plane you would have to keep it somewhere else and pay for the storage until you can sell it."
Wow what a stretch. Jealous much over the fact that he has bought and sold a few planes in his lifetime. I am going out on a limb here but I am guessing that buying and selling used airplanes is not a huge money making operation. After all there would have to be the purchase of the old plane and the refurb of it as well and then finding someone to buy it. I am also guessing that it probably nets about enough money to start the whole process over again. I am sure participating in that enterprise is much more for the enjoyment of it instead of the money.
On a side note. Why is it that people in this town are hugely jealous of anyone making a few bucks following their passions. You here it all the time one mechanic badmouthing another because he has more cars in his shop, musicians badmouthing others because they got a better paying gig, business owners wondering how the other guy makes it when they cant see it. As a business owner it gets annoying when people make outrageous offers for something, they can clearly see the 12.00 price tag on an item and then offer 5.00, then when you show them the invoice that clearly show that you paid 9.50 plus shipping to get it into the shop they dont believe you. Must be something in the water that feeds the green eyed monster. Thats the only conclusion I can reach, but then again maybe thats my short sightedness.

Jim asked how the airport expansion would benefit him and you come up with this lame a$$ reasoning that the longer runway would allow him to buy bigger airplanes and store them before he sells them. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard anyone utter. You make it out like he helped push through the airport expansion (something that was done when he himself said he was 6), and then you use the buying and selling of aircraft as justification. Again who is the stupid one?
