‘Airport ‘86’
Your editorial (July 29), “Airport ‘86,” complained about the delays in processing passengers from overseas at the airport and implied that the staff should be increased.
I gather the writer felt the general taxpayer should bear this expense. Why should he? The point is well taken, but why not recommend an increase in user fees to pay for the extra staff? It’s a classic case of the beneficiary paying for the benefit that he enjoys rather than John Q. Public.
