Support for El Toro passenger airport still flying around

Yes, the Airport Working Group should continue to pursue El Toro as

an airport. With all of the expansion and growth in Orange County, it

is time Southern Orange County shared some of the burden of air

transit. El Toro is just waiting to take off. It’s a perfect and

reasonable answer to the airport problem. Let’s keep on it. The

squeaky wheel gets results.

I believe the Airport Working Group should continue to pursue an

airport at El Toro. It’s the only alternative that makes sense. We

really don’t have a no-growth alternative as even an option, because

the known El Toro alternative is to build huge developments of

houses. So, we’re just fooling ourselves. The existing population

needs another airport, let alone all the new people who are coming

in.

The Airport Working Group is beating a dead horse. An airport at

El Toro has been defeated multiple times and will not be built. They

just need to give it up and quit wasting money.

I think El Toro should continue to fight for the Marine air base.

ROBERT MULLER

I definitely think we need El Toro, not only for the air traffic

but also for our military if we ever need that airport again. I think

that all our representatives should work very hard to get that

airport put back in service.

I think the Airport Working Group should continue to pursue the El

Toro Marine base as an airport.

Yes, the working group for the airport should continue to pursue

El Toro. We need it badly. It’s ridiculous to build more houses when

we need an airport and can put all those people to work who are

unemployed. My husband, Glenn, also has the same opinion. This was

voted for twice and voted against once. Let’s try it one more time.
