The bill gives the Transportation Secretary the authority to do this. All the Freeper knee-jerk reaction is really shocking.

READ THE STORY. Read and comprehend what it says. This isnt’ Obama waving his magic hand, it’s LaHood reading what’s in the House bill.

“That bill states that the transportation secretary can waive the provision eliminating air-service subsidies to rural communities in Nevada, Montana and New Mexico “if the secretary determines that the geographic characteristics of the location result in undue difficulty in accessing the nearest medium or large hub airport.”

I didn't here of any planes not getting to or from their destination. It may cost more but it sure doesn't change “geographic characteristics” and it doesn't restrict access or “result in undue difficulty”.
LaHood didn't just come up with the waiver theory on his own or he would had already done it.
