as214 said:Because of the ex-NY Mayor David Dinkins, the most incompetent S.O.B. to ever hold public office. That may have been his only accomplishment as Mayor. Apparently some of his rich, important friends complained about the noise at the US OPen so he got the ball rolling on rectifying the situation via departure flight path changes. I'm glad he was such a fuc*up though or else Mayor Giuliani would have never of been elected!
dalegribble said:Didn't Dinkins also authorize the City of New York to pay the US Tenis Assoc a fee for every overflight from LGA during the US OPEN? I though I heard something about that on one of the local stations quite a few years ago.
I am sure the City just has extra $$$$ around to pay that instead of fixing schools, potholes.... the list continues.
