Airport seizure ready for takeoff
A bill to take Mitchell International Airport away from Milwaukee County and give control to an unelected board will be introduced on Monday, have a hearing on Tuesday, and maybe even get acted upon before the legislature goes home.
State Rep. Jeff Stone, a suburban Republican, and State Sen. Jeff Plale, a southside/suburban Democrat, are sponsors.
Gretchen Schuldt at Story Hill website has details.
Wonder how those conservatives, like State Sen. Mary Lazich, who want to get rid of all unelected taxing bodies, will feel about it. Or the right-wingers who will fight to the death to see that no one's personal property is seized by the government. This airport belongs to the taxpayers, ain'a? There is no provision in the bill for any compensation to Milwaukee County.

Why do they want to take the Airport away from the county? This was not mentioned. I am curious, though on the surface, with no other info, I'd be against it. I'd like more facts.
Try this JS story.
Bill,
Count me in. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
A side note: do you know if they are looking to include Batten Field here in Racine as part of this?
Mr. Bill, thanks for the link. I still would not be for creating MORE Government. I think it works fine the way it is.
For those who think this will work I have four words for you -- privitize the public museum.
