Dear Editor:

Greensburg Daily News

Greensburg — As you know, the Airport Expansion project is a very hot topic in Greensburg. Recent Council meetings have seen an increased interest in the topic by not only the public, but by the elected council members. I'm sure you are aware that there will be a joint session of Council with the BOAC on July 26 at City Hall. The opponents of this project have been very vocal in the community, as well as in the Council chamber. There is no question as to where they stand. On July 26, the proponents of this project will once again, have their say.

This is an issue that, I believe, the taxpayers of Greensburg and our industry leaders should weigh in on. I encourage the citizens of Greensburg to contact thier Council representatives and express their view.

When I ran for council in 2007, I promised to represent the people of District 4. I genuinely care about how they feel. My personal views on this project are secondary to what the majority of my constituents wish. I have set up a special e-mail account for airport expansion views.ÊI encourage as many as possible to voice their support or opposition to this project. When a vote does occur, my decision will be based on the will of the people. The e-mail address greensburgairportexpansion@yahoo.com.

  • What are the 16 percent not seeing?

    Dear Editor,
    The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America reads as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

  • Reader reacts to State of the Union

    Dear Editor,
    President Obama's State of the Union address contained much of the same lofty rhetoric we've become familiar with over the years, and was actually somewhat anti-climactic.

  • Is Romney still a conservative? TV media doesn't think so

    Dear Editor:
    It's interesting to note that television reporters and talking heads now use the term "conservative" to refer only to those on the extreme far right.

  • Why the rush?

    Dear Editor,
    Why the rush to pass Right to Work? The Republicans have all the power and could pass this anytime during this short session.
