The whole system of gov. in this country has become a joke....you get what you vote for LOL
Story in the Lakeland, Fl. Ledger pointed out that The Sun N Fun Fly In may be harmed by a shut down of the Lakeland- Linder Tower. As anyone in aviation knows, It's one of the busiest facilities in the world during Fly-In days.
Try to imagine that going on for a moment.

The communication on the approach to LAX goes like this “United 454 turn right to 220 and descend to 1500, you are 3 miles from localizer, AHHHH.. 454 Can you give me a few moments though? Since I am the only controller here, I have to run down stairs and turn the localizer on. Oh by the way, do you need runway lights? Let me see if I can find the plug!!. If your lucky enough to land before I get back call me on the phone and let me know how you did ok?”
As I said before, Osama, oops, Obama will put the cuts in high profile places and where they will be inconvenient to vocal groups, and try to blame the GOP. Actually this not new, there was an article in our local paper last year saying we would loose our tower. Next step, cut TSA screeners and make the lines longer. It is Osama is a Muslim "sleeper" intending to destroy the USA economy. Doing a good job of it. Jim.
O'Bummers just trying to hurt [THE RICH PEOPLE]and letting America know he's not one of 'Those Guy's'.

I work at a contract tower slated to close on April 7th. When I was here 25 years ago as an FAA controller (before the tower was contracted out),we had 10 controllers, a supervisor, and a manager. Now, in contractor world, there are 5 of us, one of whom is the Manager who is REQUIRED by the FAA to spend 20 hours a week doing paperwork downstairs. We make $10,000-25,000 less than an FAA controller. This is the most efficient contracted-out operation in the government, and they want to close it down.Go figure. Everyone needs to contact their Congressman NOW, before it is too late. Safety WILL be negatively affected!
