Kostes Wants Jet-Capable Airport Near Merryall; How To Make Your Buddies Into Enemies

In a widely distributed e-mail, Mayor wannabe Kostes wrote that he "was a little disappointed that there was no mention of air travel" at the Planning Commission's Meeting about the Plan of Conservation and Development. "Very light jets" are very quiet, he wrote, and suggested that there ought to be an airport in New Milford capable of handling such jet traffic. One of the spots to look at, he says, may be "The quarry near Boardman." Yep, right on the Merryall border. That'll go over real big.
