I read with growing disbelief the plan for a new $39 million airport terminal. We have a lovely terminal which is more than adequate. Air traffic is in a steep decline. We need a second security line. Twenty JetBlue passengers missed their flight to New York on August 1 when they could not get through security. I do not know how often this happens but I do know we do not need a new $39 million terminal. Federal Aviation Administration is our tax dollars. There must be a better way to spend our money. I hope common sense will prevail.
