The People Demand It!

I came upon this letter-to-the editor on Goerie.com, and repost part of it here so people can read it. I wonder if this guy is a GlobalErie.com reader?  If not, he should be!
I suggest that it all boils down to two words: “Porreco” and “sandbox.”
It appears as if Erie Municipal Airport Authority President Louis […]

Today’s Time’s article has just a hint of cooperation among the parties involved. They all met with the Federal Aviation Administration in Harrisburg to discuss financial issues, mostly with gaps in federal funding in the year 2011 of $1.6 million, and a gap in 2012 of $10 million.

In the latest news story, Mayor Joe Sinnott wants to go back to […]

Sorry it’s been so long since the last post, it’s been pretty busy this week!
Anyway, I see that the runway project is being hindered again. Since my last blog about the runway project, some animosity between the parties has creeped in. The Erie Municipal Airport Authority, and specifically Board Chairman Lou Porreco, is […]
