Note to KCI Airport Authority: WE DON'T WANT A DIFFERENT, NEW AIRPORT!!!

I'll say this until I'm blue in the face:

KANSAS CITIANS--AND PEOPLE FROM THIS REGION--DON'T WANT OR NEED A NEW, DIFFERENT, AIRPORT

The latest on our airport (from The Star):

New plan calls for different site for new terminal at KCI

How did this happen, anyway?

The people of Kansas City were never--never--asked if we wanted a new, different airport for any reason, yet the powers that be in town have already decided it's happening and taking place.

You know why this is happening, too, right?

The airlines are paying what they see as too much for airport security so they want a new, more traditional airport where we'll all go through the same security checkpoint.

That's the real issue here, folks, don't kid yourselves.

It isn't as they have claimed that the old building needs replacing and that it's too expensive to redo.

That's nonsense.

It's a bold-faced lie.

It's about the airlines and their costs, period.

We need to raise heck about this. We want our airport left alone.

Let's start now.

Write to your city councilman now and tell them---

WE DON' NEED NO STEENKENG NEW AIRPORT.

We don't want it.

Heck, the way this city has spent money, we likely can't even afford it.

KCI is the easiest airport to get around in, of all (of the few) I've been through. I see no reason to change anything.

Exactly.

And that's the way everyone whom I know who've experienced it feels, too. We want it left alone. The powers that be want to tear it down and replace it. It's not right, on at least a few different levels.
