Last month, Santa Monica City officials submitted a new airport landing-fee plan to the FAA. The Agency conditionally accepted the city’s proposal, and stated that if it were implemented, the city would once again be eligible for federal financial assistance. On June 21, the Santa Monica City Council implemented the new structure through the adoption of Resolution 10047 (CCS).

Editor’s Note:
Once again, we witness how creative politician’s can be when they want to circumvent the law. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if politician’s would spend just 25% of the efforts required to raise taxes to live within their budgets? Imagine what it will cost to regulate this ill conceived effort!
