Coffeyville City Manager Enos Purcell barred Don Madison from airport lease records unless a letter of intent and proof of citizenship were provided. The county attorney said the action violated state law, and two days later Purcell yielded. Madison, a Dalton Defenders Civil Air Patrol commander, sought the leases to secure space for CAP, which Purcell opposed, calling CAP members “just a bunch of kids who can't fly.” The dispute centers on citizen access to records and airport space.
