Suspicions raised over plan to expand Livermore airport

The Tri-Valley (CA) Herald

LIVERMORE — Critics of a proposal to expand Livermore Municipal Airport remain suspicious of an advisory committee formed in April to hear their concerns.

The committee, which is scheduled to hold six hearings before presenting its recommendations to the Livermore City Council in January, includes representatives of neighborhoods near the airport and from the cities of Dublin and Pleasanton.

To Whom It May Concern:

The Truckee Tahoe Airport District is a Special District under California Law, whose Board of Directors is directly elected by the voters. If the opposition is successful in electing 3 of the 5 Board members, they can do anything they want, even close the airport.

Our friends at Agua Dulce Airpark are under attack. A determined small group of 20 people (perhaps they didn?t know there was an airport there when they bought their houses) is doing everything they can to shut it down. Their efforts include complaints to every known federal and state agency alleging health and safety problems and violations of various codes and laws. They have been accused of breeding mosquitoes, exterminating ?endangered species,? etc. It costs the County about $800 each time one of these law enforcement agencies comes out to investigate what seem to be baseless complaints.
