After much delay, Senate clears FAA bill
After passing 23 temporary extensions, the Senate voted 75 to 20 Monday to approve a long-term funding bill for the FAA and sent it to the president for his expected signature. The measure provides about $16 billion a year for FAA operations, airport construction and modernization. (www.cnn.com) More...

I believe 7.5 % is double taxation -- FET is already taxed on fuel as part of Transportation costs.
Gene - Is ORD the only player? Get out of your zip code once on a while buddy. Are drones covered by the Patriot Act or the FBI, CIA ? Cute stunt boys.
You also miss this nice little tidbit with this bill:
The Reds slipped in a nice little bit authorizing the use of UAVs (read: DRONES) to be used domestically, in and over US Airspace.
Yes, peeps, the Reds slipped in a bit that all but authorizes the use of spy planes on their own people.
And people talk about Obama being a failure.

I love it. Aviation safety is at-stake and the Republicans are concerned about pork. When something goes wrong, they blame the underfunded FAA that they've refused to give a clear mandate to in years. Heads they win, tails you lose.
You wonder why they don't have a shot in November? Aside from not having viable candidates anyone outside the GOP likes and not even being able to run their own primaries, that idiot, Senator Inhofe, really is a leader in the GOP.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google "Inhofe," "landing," and "FAA."

With $16B a year up for grabs you know there are fingers in the cookie jar big time. The Windy City group will not be at the back of the pack. As Gene pointed out some things just don't change much.
