I cannot fathom how Waukegan citizens are quietly allowing our PRIVATELY LEASED airport to keep expanding so that the airport earns more revenue but Waukegan has to deal with LARGER AIRCRAFT landing and taking off over our city. Larger aircraft means more AIRPORT TRAFFIC. What is Waukegan's benefit? A: Nothing!
Suzy Link brags that she's best friends with the owners and I suspect that Senator Link's hand is buried somewhere deep in the pants of the authorizing port authority and the airport's private leaseholder. Waukegan has enough issues to deal with nowadays. Citizens speak up NOW against the airport's current and future expansion. Write to your newspapers, your Senators and Congressman and tell your local officials how you feel about increased air traffic above our homes and the accompanying pollution. Think of the health of our citizens (our KIDS) with noise pollution interrupting our sleep and the aircraft exhaust layering upon our town. As fun as it may be, one weekend a year for a token "air show" does not dilute 363 days of flights taking off and landing at all hours.
Who expands an airport in their own landlocked community? A: Suzy and Senator Link and their pals who lease the airport.
Suzy and Terry-- the benefit to private jet owners in Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Highland Park, Libertyville is obvious. The donors to 'Link for Senator' are probably a LOT of those aircraft owners and their corporations. After all, Waukegan is an easy car commute.
