Press & Sun Letters to the Editor: Why isn't there one regional airport in Southern Tier?

One regional airport in Tioga County makes more sense

Can someone explain why Broome County continues to have an airport that is hardly used.

Financially it would make more sense to have a larger airport in Tioga County that serves Binghamton, Ithaca and Elmira. Millions are spent every year on airports that are difficult to sustain. In the era of IBM, Link, and other companies that no longer provide employment opportunities, it made sense for Binghamton to have its own airport.

The last few trips my husband and I have taken by air required we drive to Syracuse or Albany. Our leaders should give this thought.

Messaging from Biden's office is hypocritical and senseless

Biden spokesperson James Singer stated that Donald Trump lost three million jobs during his time as president. What he failed to mention was this was during COVID, when businesses were closed.

He challenged Trump to stand up to Putin. Putin refused to attack Ukraine during the Trump administration due to the president's unpredictability. He waited until Biden entered office, knowing he now had a weak, feckless adversary.

He challenged Trump to obey the law while his boss openly defies the Supreme Court, the highest law of the land. I'm sure he challenges the American people to deny their lying eyes and ears and support a lifetime, lying, empty suit of a politician to control them for another four years, maybe. I, for one, will listen with my ears, and see with my eyes.
