That's actually a bargain when you compare it to John Murtha's airport, where they have a $7 million air traffic control tower, a $14 million hanger and $8 million radar, all for an airport that handles about a dozen passengers a day. Fortunately before dropping dead, Murtha got another $800,000 in stimulus funds to repave the runway because you know with all that traffic, it was desperately needed.

 

That Murtha. He was such a giver.
