LETTER OF THE WEEK

In the Daily Pilot letters (“The Airport Debate -- Roar over El Toro

and JWA caps intensifies,” Dec. 5), several writers expressed the opinion

that Newport Beach should negotiate with South County regarding the El

Toro airport so that they can help us extend the caps at John Wayne.

For years, South County has called for doubling the flights out of

John Wayne.

They continue their hideously expensive campaign against El Toro

airport today. They know full well that El Toro is the only escape valve

we have in keeping John Wayne Airport caps on.

It seems Clarence Turner and Tom Edwards put the already napping

citizens of Newport Beach into a complete coma when they said that South

County could help us extend the caps and curfew on John Wayne.

Help us how? How can they help us? Do they have some inside track that

we don’t have?

South County “helping” Newport Beach. Fat wolves in sheep’s clothing.
