Letter: Take off, airport

Editor, Daily News:

The Daily News, in my opinion, has an obligation to the public of Collier County to inform the people of any hazard affecting their future welfare.

Many years ago Marco Island got rid of a major hazard when the people of Marco moved the airport from the island. Many people presently living in Collier don't remember that there ever was an airport on Marco. I assure you all, there was an airport and it was rightfully moved off the island.

Just think of all the people who would benefit by moving the Naples Municipal Airport. We could build affordable housing, increase the tax base which would add millions of dollars to the city and county. In other words, help the many, not the very few — yes, the very few.

I'm sure that if moving the airport was put on the ballot in a city and county vote, in my opinion, the airport would be history.
