Instead of raising taxes to support the airport, we should close Mountwood Park and use that money for the airport. We have spent $20 million so far at Mountwood, apparently to benefit just a few people and a out-of-state lumber company, and we have darn little to show for it.
I just checked a flight from PKB to MCO (Orlando) at United.com and they want $600 per person with a minimun of 1 stop. I checked a travel web site and found that you can get a non stop flight from PIT (Pittsburgh) to MCO for only $200 per person. One would be silly to pay an extra $400 per person to fly from PKB. It isn't hard to see where one can really save the big money when flying unless you like having to wait in an airport to change planes and run the risk of either missing the next flight or being delayed. Do your research before flying from PKB and you will almost always get better flight times and extra money in your wallet to use on your trip.
