County nixes airport loan:
"2/9/2011 11:52:00 PM
BESSEMER -- The Gogebic County Board of Commissioners Wednesday rejected a request for a $20,000 loan to advertise jet airline service at the Gogebic-Iron County Airport.
Airport manager Duane DuRay said Frontier Airlines, which will begin jet service on April 18, relies on local communities to advertise.
But commissioner Don Pezzetti, of Wakefield, noted Frontier will receive a federal subsidy of $3 million to provide essential air service at the airport for two years. Pezzetti said Frontier should advertise with its own funds.
In the original article they never said it was a advertising loan. And it never said Frontier was getting 3 mil from the tax payers. People of Gogebic County, thank your board members for doing the right thing.
