    That is just weird.

    It's one thing to subsidize a facility that gets use.

    20 people a day? f*cking ridiculous.

    Johnstown is 67 miles from Pittsburgh, so it's not like they are an Alaskan outpost or something.

    ummmm

    from CNN:

    Murtha airport's manager said taxpayer money is going to waste at his facility, but not on the runway project.

    He points to an unstaffed $8 million air traffic radar system installed in 2004.

    "It's been sitting over there, and that radar has been spinning for all those years with no purpose. Just sitting there," Voelker said.

    Voelker said he has brought the matter up with both the FAA and Pennsylvania Air National Guard, which uses the air traffic control facility.

    But he said nobody can explain why the radar system hasn't been staffed.

    ummmmmm
