House panel backs air service subsidies and cuts food aid
A House panel moved to preserve the Essential Air Service program while backing cuts to food aid and to Wall Street regulation funding. The program subsidizes airline service to small communities, with contracts typically between one and two million dollars annually, and subsidies have risen from fifty million in 2001 to nearly two hundred million in 2010 and beyond. Rural lawmakers defend the program as vital to regional airports like Jamestown and Devil’s Lake, stressing its role beyond profitability.
