That's total bull***** what happened there. The entire freaking lakefront is a park. My God, we don't need anymore, at MY expense......
Our elected officials are supposed to represent us....and that bogus mayor went against the people!

Whoa CC!!
You and I are in total agreement that tearing up Meigs was the work of a madman. I only acknowledged Einreb's comment that some residents may have wanted something other than an airport there.
That moronic mayor did it in the middle of the night by cutting huge trenches across the asphalt. There is no control tower active at night at Meigs and if an aircraft would have attempted a landing, it could have been fatal. IMO, the mayor commited a criminal act and the FAA should have strung him up for it.
I fly past it every year on the way to Oskkosh and it was always
comforting to know that I had a place to land should I have engine trouble over the lake. Without Meigs, there is no safe place to land for about twenty miles of coast line while scooting up the VFR corridor over the edge of Lake Michigan.
PS CC, my last name is HANCOCK, NOT HAND-COCK
