The 149 air traffic control towers that were slated to close this summer because of the federal sequestration will remain open until at least September, federal officials said Friday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said legislation approved by Congress last month lets it transfer funds from other accounts to keep the towers open until the end of the fiscal year.

Just a threat by the Boy King to make him look good when he lifts the sequester which by the was his idea!
But uses it as the Republicans did this to you the American Voter!
When will the Voter wake up!?

The “let’s screw the citizens for our agenda” team just blinked. Again.

Just damn, how nice it would be to have a contrarian media...

I guess the innerweb will have to do, for now. It’ll be gone soon.

LOL. This is the second time they have pushed the date into the future. My daughter is in Civil Air Patrol and they fly out of a smaller airport; Capital City in New Cumberland, Pa. They have been threatened with this since the bill was signed in law. This is just another Obama lie.

I am sick and tired of listening to this sequester Bullsheit.

The 4% is not a cut. It is 4% less than the original increase was going to be.

No way can this 4% effect America like it has unless the dipstick in the White House picks and chooses how to hurt America.

Stop paying overtime for the Gardeners at the White House to plant and work the Mooch’s garden she takes credit for, without hitting a lick unless a camera is around.
