See how the U.S. House voted on HR 1000 (the FAA Reauthorization Bill).
This controversial legislation, that favors the aviation industry, will massively increase flights into our nation’s airports. Among other bad proposals in the bill, it:

  1. doubles, and at some airports, triples airport expansion funding
  2. removes slot restrictions at High-Density Ruled airports
  3. grants the federal government authority to override state law, when it comes to the state banning construction of new runways

NOTE: The industry and government have already acknowledged serious environmental, public health and other quality of life problems that are just becoming a major focus. As much as 70% of the nation's population health could be affected by the serious and deadly, hazardous and toxic air pollution that is released by airports and aircraft.
