"ANN must note, with great frustration, that some of their (airport) efforts might be better served in finding, supporting, and electing officials who are not so aeronautically ignorant, prone to class warfare against those they perceive to be rich airplane owners and businesses, and apparently unappreciative of the extraordinary values aviation and airports like Whiteman bring to their communities. Rarely have we seen the level of moronic anti-aviation drivel as we have seen around Whiteman (Ed. Note: I used to live near there many years ago and have been disgusted by the politics brought to bear against this airport. — Jim Campbell, ANN CEO/Editor-In-Chief)." Source: Part of the ANN editorial commentary contained aside the news reports of political attacks on the Whiteman Airport in Southern California, based on errant, if not outright false data supplied by politicians that want to kill an airport, despite all that it does for the surrounding community, and while ignoring the overwhelming ground hazards in the same area that far outstrip those incurred by aviation.
