Last week (Oct 2nd EPN issue) there was a Norm Coleman press release in the Eden Prairie News and now again this week in the Star Tribune West Section which supported the distribution of Federal funds to expand Flying Cloud Airport.

We're in the midst of a financial crisis. This is a $50M+project which the residents and past Eden Prairie City Councils fought to STOP for over 20 years.

The FAA reported that the projected numbers of future operations were grossly overestimated. The operations on the ground have decreased annually for over a decade. It has been shown that there is no need and no return on the investment in many public forums over the last 20 years.

What can you do on behalf of your constituents to put an immediate stop to this pork project for corporations and wealthy individuals?

This project is very "anti-Eden Prairie" and is an extreme waste of precious money in a tough economy.

When our are legislators going to reign in the unnecesssary pork and stop subsidizing a form of transportation that 99% of the public
don't use?

When?
