Lawsuit: Obama visit caused $676K in airport damage

fdx

What would Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife do if this happened at the Mayberry Airport? Sounds like a job for Otis Campbell. He would take care of the problem appropriately. Gaaulee!

Well, they asked but the article didn't say how quick after the visit. A year and a half on the lawsuit is a stretch.

One of the early articles on this indicate the damage was not to grass but to the runway and taxiways where a deep groove in the asphalt was left sufficient to cause substantial damage to the gear on light aircraft. The early estimates to repair the damage were considerably less so it would be interesting to see the breakdown of the costs.
We should feel sorry not just for the guy and his wife that own the place but for the taxpayer that funded six helos and an assortment of back up vehicles including a foam truck, armoured limos etc.

Sounds like Malborough needed a new runway and has found a pretty lame way to pay for it.

Hands down the GOP (great old punks) got to be behind this trying to descredit President Obama anyway they can but this is going to backfire for one, besides with the lineup of candidates we see now, Obama is going to get reelected.

Just borrow more money from China. HAHAHA

@ Wayne I could not agree with you more but one thing is to express a dissatisfaction with the current administration, and there is plenty of reasons, and quite another to scavenge for the most silly excuses to throw mud at it.

Good Luck

Bill his re-election campain fund,If,it was mainly supporters. Or, send th bill to the identifiable protesting groups. They have a right to free speech but not to tear up the place. Why should the tax payer of either the Federal or the State Governments get stuck with another bill.

Going no where here folks.

Sounds like some real expensive grass to me... just sayin'.

Its a shame a Florida girl cannot be on this Mass jury. The money it costs local govt everytime the President or VP comes to town is crazy, not to mention its always done at rushhour negatively effecting the folks trying to get to work on time. Another hit in our pocketbook.

wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh waaaaaaaaahhhh

it sounds like the president shoul pay for everything from the jet fuel to local city,county and state police and any damages that are done he should pey for that also
