WASHINGTON, DC U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements. The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
This federal funding will help these airports better provide critical services to communities in northern Michigan, Stupak said. I am pleased the FAA has made this investment in our local airports and the individuals and businesses they serve.
Alpena County Regional Airport received a grant of $85,500 to acquire friction measuring equipment, specifically a decelermeter and tow vehicle, to replace equipment that has worn out.
Delta County Airport in Escanaba received a grant of $179,209 to install a 10 foot perimeter fence to enhance security and prevent wildlife from entering the airport.
The Chippewa County International Airport near Sault Ste. Marie received a grant of $461,700 to install lighted signs on Runway 16/34 and make repairs to the pavement to meet marking requirements and maintain structural integrity.
This funding is provided to the FAA through the regular federal appropriations process and is awarded through competitive grants.
U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Aceldama)!
And he went so cheap too. Son of a motherless harelipped goat.
They can take your taxes for this garbage but don’t let them use your investmet. I recommend:
SELL YOUR BONDS- ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did!
“You have reached the Hoare house (in a British accent).”
Well, you can hardly expect him to pass up an opportunity like that ;-)
But I hate a sell sword who puffs up his chest, and claims to stand for something, only to get his thirty silver coins to betray the ones he once claimed to protect. Such as that are not to be trusted. Either by those they betrayed or by those who have purchased their services for the evening. For in the end, they are nothing but harlots.
Take a stand. If you're position changes by debate, so be it. But don't take a stand only to change because you got some more loot from the public coffers.
I plan on figuring out how to profit out of this too. “When the world gives you lemons, ...etc..
For a priest???? *\;-)
Of course, you can do the same with the surname Orr.
What a coinkydink!
Howard Roark.
“For a priest???? *\;-) “
I admit that is stretching the bounds of decorum ;-)
This executive order will expire at midnight tonight. This guy never intended to oppose the bill and even stated so in a town hall meeting last year. Just another dumb ass Democrat who would sell his country down drain for personal gain. All these guys should be removed from office at the first opportunity. Sooner the better.
Baby killer Stupak.
But for Chippewa County International Airport???
Maybe they can use baby skin for the airport lounge lampshades?
Why Bart, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for $726,409?
Drat - you beat me!
Naw, he got a spiffy piece of paper autographed by Obama too.
