Murtha Airport losing money for district

Although the late Rep. John Murtha was able to steer tens of millions to build infrastructure and bring military units to the facility, few of the earmarks went into the authority’s operating budget.

Could you name me a country boondoggle hobby port that makes money. There is no such thing ,it's just a way the congress critter pays off his wealth campaign contributor with your money. Subsidized plane hangers, parking and landing strip for the well off to support their hobby.

They should all be auctioned off to the highest bidder and converted into something that makes money for the many not the privileged few. And in this case it is the very privileged few.
