Hi Folks -- 

** if you haven't yet emailed the mayor and council yet, you can cross that off your list. The window has closed. Thanks to those of you who sent notes in. 

 Now, we need to all manifest a very near future reality in which Longmont gets landing fees.  It sounds like the rates and charges study report will be in the hands of council this month.

_______

In the meantime, Here are some resources on leaded AvGas: 

 You should be aware of the study that showed evaluated the lead blood levels of kids living in proximity to Colorado airports.

And, the CDPHE page.

And, the CDOT fact sheet on the issue. 

I've also included an op-ed from last year.

________

Check out this letter to the editor in the Daily Camera about the airport... by a pilot: 

Boulder airport belongs to the community. It is time to act like it.
