Mailbag - Nov. 11, 1999

Orange County must have a larger airport to meet our travel and air

freight needs soon (“Airport debate lands in Surf City,” Nov. 4). It

might as well be El Toro because much of the infrastructure is already

there.

We cannot put our heads in the sand and ignore these pressing needs.

Then, too, think of all of the new jobs and businesses that a new

international airport will generate. It might as well be here as in Los

Angeles.

Store owner should be ashamed

With regard to Kenneth Reynold filing his complaint against the city

(“Mall owner wants city to pay for damage in shootout,” Oct. 21), all I

can say is, “You ought to be ashamed yourself.”

I’m absolutely appalled at the greediness the owner is exhibiting,

wanting to be reimbursed for damages after the shooting.

Evidently it’s legal, and I guess it will be paid. But just because

something is legally right doesn’t make it morally right, and I’m

outraged.

I can’t believe how people can live with themselves.
