WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements. The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
“This federal funding will help these airports better provide critical services to communities in northern Michigan,” Stupak said. “I am pleased the FAA has made this investment in our local airports and the individuals and businesses they serve.”
Alpena County Regional Airport received a grant of $85,500 to acquire friction measuring equipment, specifically a decelermeter and tow vehicle, to replace equipment that has worn out.
Delta County Airport in Escanaba received a grant of $179,209 to install a 10 foot perimeter fence to enhance security and prevent wildlife from entering the airport.
The Chippewa County International Airport near Sault Ste. Marie received a grant of $461,700 to install lighted signs on Runway 16/34 and make repairs to the pavement to meet marking requirements and maintain structural integrity.
This funding is provided to the FAA through the regular federal appropriations process and is awarded through competitive grants.

Paging DOCTOR SENATOR TOM COBURN!
STUPAK THE COMPLETE SELL-OUT!
As much as I would like this to be a smoking gun its probably just a small fart compared to what he really got. Think about it stupid pak had control of 7 votes!! That’s worth 100 mill each vote guaranteed. This could be just chum to hide the real trophies.
Pretty damned cheap.
DARN, and less than a million dollars too. That was cheap.
Scour the web for any yes vote any a press release of funds to their district
And this via @JoeTaxpayer Rep. Suzanne Kosmas flips her previous “no” vote to a “yes” - what changed? $65 million going to her district... http://bit.ly/9xo5J1

These guys should be in Orange Jumpsuits.
Please send this to Coburn’s office.
