Airport Project Foes Not Speaking for All
Readers Jacobson and Green (Letters, April 16) speak for a few hundred well-organized neighbors in their opposition to your support for a new terminal for the Burbank Airport.
They clearly don’t speak for several million air travelers, or for many thousands of airport neighbors who see--and hear of course--the airport as the least of all possible annoyances, compared to its huge value as a magnet for jobs and an invaluable travel convenience.
The incoming mossback majority on the Burbank City Council will now follow the demands of the anti-airport sentiment they’ve whipped up themselves and delay once again the new and larger terminal that’s already at least 10 years overdue.
Ultimately, Burbank voters will discover the new council has given the city not silence but stagnation. Let’s hope the discovery will not take too long to undo the damage done already.
