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...

Hey Hey - it's payday for the Daley's at fat city - aka: ORD>

And big brother Bill - the former lobbyist for UAL.
He too can help count the unearned $$$$ from O'Hare.

Pork has been part of the US budget since the first Congress. Would you put FAA into a perpetual holding pattern while every little scrap is rooted out? Although I personally hate connecting there, KORD is too important to the nation's air system to worry about a statue. This bill, imperfect as it may be, is way overdue.
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.
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 would think being as Liberal has he is, he would have done this 3 years ago... He instituted Cash For Clunkers and all kinds of failures... Hmm, maybe that is the reason.. He does not want to give the money where it is needed.
