STUPAK ANNOUNCES $726,409 FOR AIRPORTS IN
ALPENA, DELTA AND CHIPPEWA COUNTIES

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements.  The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
 
“This federal funding will help these airports better provide critical services to communities in northern Michigan,” Stupak said.  “I am pleased the FAA has made this investment in our local airports and the individuals and businesses they serve.”
 
Alpena County Regional Airport received a grant of $85,500 to acquire friction measuring equipment, specifically a decelermeter and tow vehicle, to replace equipment that has worn out.
 
Delta County Airport in Escanaba received a grant of $179,209 to install a 10 foot perimeter fence to enhance security and prevent wildlife from entering the airport.
 
The Chippewa County International Airport near Sault Ste. Marie received a grant of $461,700 to install lighted signs on Runway 16/34 and make repairs to the pavement to meet marking requirements and maintain structural integrity.
 
This funding is provided to the FAA through the regular federal appropriations process and is awarded through competitive grants.

Sure this was announced 2 days ago, but he likely was only playing at holding out to look like he was CYA.  The EO by Lord Zero is likely unenforceable. Just more backroom deals.

This government run by Obama is kind of like my dog. When we are watching he won't pee in the house but turn your back long enough and a puddle appears. The only difference is Obama says look over there then pees on the carpet. Then tells us Bush must have peed there.  :banghead:
