To the El Dorado County Supervisors,

I am the public and I vote. Trust me that the issue concerning the Georgetown Airport and the supervisors vote that the lease will be terminated is not of issue with me. I am concerned that there was no foresight by the county leaving the tenant owners "Out in the Cold" with respect to your vote of 5 to 0 to terminate the FBO's lease. This is purely business. If the operator leaves many of us owner/pilots will take our business elsewhere. This leaves El Dorado County with out needed tax dollars. Have you forgotten September 11th, just over a year ago??? Remember the aviation community being locked out of flying for almost a month???? This meant that the FBO was essentially locked out of earning a living. Sympathetic to small business??? Yes, I am sure you are with this action!!!! With out having a plan to replace the FBO you acted with Ms.Humphreys to rubber stamp her wishes. " Bad News supervisors". This will not die and you will be held accountable for your actions. The public will here about this at every social gathering on the divide and beyond. Remember I along with the rest of El Dorado counties inhabitants pay your salaries. What is needed is a business sense that will insure that your constituents will receive as much as possible in revenue.
