As I said earlier here, I've been receiving big postcards here in Brookside, daily, telling us all why we should vote for the billion dollar plus boondoggle that is a new, single terminal airport. I didn't get one yesterday but today got two.
And on both of these today, they both repeated the same, very familiar phrase.
The whole idea of paying out more than one billion dollars--because it will be more than one billion dollars, folks, for a new single terminal airport here in town, let there be no doubt--is both fiscally and environmentally irresponsible.
I've said it repeatedly.
Fiscally irresponsible.
So what phrase is added today, to these new postcards from the "vote for a new terminal" folks?
Oh, yes. On both of them, they suddenly say "fiscally responsible."
They ripped me off.
Suddenly, suddenly they're touting a completely new airport terminal as "fiscally responsible."
The previous day, on the post card for that day, as proof, they called it "fiscally smart."
Forget that it will cost us more than 1 billion dollars.
Forget that we're walking away from 3 existing, functioning, convenient, attractive, very practical terminals and other buildings and facilities there so they can be torn down and thrown away.
Forget that we could spend far, far less on our existing facilities and get the security we need and the restaurants and all the other facilities we want and need.
Forget all that.
They're saying we should only throw away the old buildings, build new and spend, spend, spend.
Since when is spending more--in this case, a lot more--to get what you want and need "fiscally responsible:?
Only now does that make sense and only according to the "new KCI" people.
So they ripped me off for the phrase. Great for them.
They should give me residuals.
