This video shows where trees have been clear cut by the Town of Hilton Head to prepare the land for construction of the Hilton Head Fire Training Complex. This shows the hypocrisy found within the Town which allows for clear cutting for what they deem necessary but will not allow clear cutting of trees at the Hilton Head Airport. Clear Cutting for the airport would cost approximately $2,000,000 but the Town wants to cut the trees in a different manner which would cost in excess of $5,000,000 more than clear cutting for Beaufort County taxpayers. DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE????
When Life Is Fair by Joe Croley
When life is fair, the Beaufort County Council will adopt the Boys Scouts motto of Be Prepared and take advantage of the look into the future afforded to them last week at the County Aviation Board meeting. Technically I think it is now the Airport Board but that will take some getting used to since they seem to think changing the name will eliminate the petty squabbling they are now doing over living within four miles of an airport, as if that will attract the most qualified candidates. But that is another story for another time.
A Connecticut court has rejected yet another bid by a civic government to chip away at the virtually absolute authority of the FAA in aviation matters.
Several County Councilmen are pushing for a new Aviation Advisory Board Charter which would include an 11 - 13 member Citizen's Aviation Advisory Board for Beaufort County.
