Commission Asks Action On Airport Aid Shortage
The State Aeronautics Commission urged immediate steps to overcome a critical federal airport aid shortage. Without prompt FAA aid, Oshkosh Green Bay and Eau Claire risk not having jets ready for 1987. Wisconsin had 2,969,271 in FAA requests for 1986 and seeks help from senators to secure federal aid from potential sources. Proxmire called for investigation into an attributed FAA remark denying airport funds while he is senator. FAA denied such a statement. The commission warned that 1966 requests may be lumped with 1967 and could delay funding until 1966 or 1967 outcomes. If action is delayed to August or September 1966, jets may be postponed to 1968. Additional requests for La Crosse and central Wisconsin airports will be filed soon.
