Airport deal takes next step

Why would the city share control of the airport with the town? It's hard enough getting anything done there with one owner - having two bureaucracies would be a nightmare. If the mayor wants to have control of the field he can come up with the funds to purchase it from the city. Then he can do what he wants with it, and keep all the revenue.
I'd be willing to bet if the town *did* own the place that runway would be extended by 500ft or so, and then you would see the bigger aircraft that you're so worried about.

"Purchase"?

Oh...Stratford must purchase it but Bridgeport can have what they want for free?

No one, not a single person has been able to describe any benefit to Stratford.
First it's about safety, then it's about the economic benefit (from a longer runway).
You see what happens when you lie? It's hard to make your arguments stick together.
The one and only clear beneficiary is the City of Bridgeport. The one and only clear loser is Stratford.
And yes...I live, pay taxes and vote in Stratford. Why would I be in favor of benefitting Bridgeport at my expense?

I replied to one of your posts a few months ago and told you that Stratford collects money from every aircraft owner at the airport every year. You keep posting these lies and ignor the facts.Stratford does gain plenty from the airport and you have no idea what your talking about. If you don't like the airport just move, its that simple.

It collects ZERO from Bridgeport yet Bridgeport uses its land.

And if you don't like this small airport, land at Tweed, it's that simple.

I like the airport and don't want expanded runways just a safety zone. I don't mind sending my check to Stratford every year, a benifit to Stratford you say does'nt exist.

Did you forget, you are that one that hates the airport at all cost. Including human life. Like I said before, its simple just move

turbineguy,
While I'm in favor of improvements to the airport, it should be managed through a regional authority so that both municipalities have a say over its operation, especially if Bridgeport is to retain ownership of the property.
It is not productive to have a municipal asset such as the airport be wholly governed by a neigboring municipality. Perhaps this is why there are so many battles taking place over the property. If there was revenue sharing and joint authority, perhaps a lot of these issues would dissolve, or at the least be minimized.

Now someone who has a viable suggestion. Agreed about Bridgeport and its insideous corruption, nepotism, cronyism, etc. But Stratford is run by the village idiot.
A municipal authority would make sense
and would alleviate the behind the backstabbing that goes on.
I personally would prefer the state take over control and feed the revenues back to both Stratford & Bridgeport.

Nope. The simple answer is for Bridgeport to commit in writing that they will not expand the runways beyond their current length.

If it is really about "safety" that is.

Yep. This simple answer is for you to come up with some real reasons not to increase safety at the airport. On the airport issue you just lie and spread misinformation. Get the facts straight. Its to bad you will not support something the will save human lives.

If you just don't like the airport just move. There are plenty of homes in this area near the water but not an airport.

I am not the one lying. That would be you. Just sign on the dotted line that the runways won't be expanded. It'll be very safe then.

Oh...and there are PLENTY of airports around. Not just this one. I have an idea! Why don't YOU move next to an airport if you want to be close to one?

Agree with everything you said - state ownership would be the best option, but aside from that if joint ownership would smooth things over and get things done I'd be all for it.

You're too easy to disect. Your arguments are strickly NIMBY. You moved to Lordship KNOWING that there was an active commercial airport hoping that the Long Island property you purchased would multiple in value should the airport go away. You got reasonably priced property and wanted to benefit from a windfall.
Jezebel, my dear, the airport is NOT going to disappear in your lifetime. Live with it, upgrade it, improve the quality of the environment by helping to lower noise and other polutions. They did that at the Westchester County Airport and people richer than you and more powerful than you are living with the compromise.

Being dissected by someone like you is not an ambition of mine. Although I am certain you would just love to take a scalpel to me.

It would be nice if the airport disappeared and some other profitable use found for it. Of course, the City of Bridgeport has NO idea about profit or effective use of tax dollars.

One more time (and I'll type it slowly so even you can understand) if the question is really about safety, all Bridgeport has to do is sign an agreement to never expand the runways. At that point, I doubt you would find any resistance at all to crush zones.

But we both know it's not about safety, is it?

You guys in Stratford are right: What good is Sikorsky as an economic engine when you've got such a great deal with the Shakespeare Theatre...NOT!

My God ... 17 of the last 34 blog posts are yours. Does your pen and mouth ever shut up?

A large quantity of postings does not mean you are smarter -- unfortunately not.

Please find something else to do with your time as repetition is only boring (yawn).

[Pilot from Bridgeport]

Correction ...

A Comment made regarding Bridgeport's insideous corruption, nepotism, and cronyism -- OMG, Stratford's Mayor Miron brings all that to your town.

Mayor Moron is in fact not a moron -- it would be the Stratford residents that allowed an election process where someone with less than a majority vote gets elected!

Discuss corruption, nepotism, and cronyism and I think: granite curbs, missing head stones, relatives in the police department and attorneys hired.

Stratford you have made your own bed so now go sleep in it and stop listening to politicians state and local that get you into a frenzy to get your votes.

[Pilot from Bridgeport]

Jezebel,

One last ranting...

You are just so misinformed. We pay personal property taxes to Stratford.

How would you feel if you paid taxes to Straford and they say go to hell we don't want you. Bummer!

As far as your "nom de blog" that says it all about you.

Go cook cookies with Marcia or something.

Peace :)

As if Bridgeport's politics are clean.

The trouble is the lies Bridgeport tells. Someone has to refute them.

Fact: Bridgeport politics suck. It's a known fact. Stratford is no different. If you feel your purpose here is to "refute" lies from the city, then I suppose my purpose is to refute the uninformed nonsense you spew related to the airport. In fact, thanks to me you are now better educated on that subject than any of the politicos in your town. You can believe what you want, but one person's rantings on an online forum are as irrelevant as, well, anybody else's.
