Probably nothing, because its a stupid idea and they're both idiots.

What I don't understand is why City Airport [[not Coleman Field or whatever its supposed to be now) is a City Department. Is owning a run-down airport really an essential service a city is supposed to provide, let alone a city that is pitifully incapable of providing adequate police, fire, EMS, and general services?

Is that thing profitable? I'm guessing if the city is running it probably not. What the hell is the point of it, if there are no commercial flights anymore? Can't somebody take it? Or is it a "gem"?

I'm all for keeping it if it is advantageous to the city, like the Water Department, for example, but is it??
