I would love to know just what MAtt voted on at 11:00 PM last night.

The VP may only vote when a bill is declared as tied. Until time expires, the vote total can change and thus until it expires under the rules, it is not tied and thus cannot be broken until that point.

Eh, sorry about that guys. I have been told by various sources repeatedly to vote. Tongue And while I love those sources very much, I would like to ask them to ensure that they give me the right information. Wink

Maybe it's only right that I go on a redrafting spree to celebrate our victory last night?

It looks like there'll be a need to nationalize these airports, though maybe quick passage will accomplish the same.

Actually, yea, can we even rename these? I was going to redraft to include a more balanced bill, but the question now is whether this is a job for the regions or a job for us?

Do the regions staff their own TSA molestors? If not, I don't see why they would feel entitled to name the airports.

I don't see how the TSA has anything to do with it. Most commercial service airports are publicly owned by local or state governments - the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is perhaps the only one where the Senate can claim jurisdiction. Houston's owned by Houston, Dallas by the Cities of Dallas and Ft. Worth, Atlanta by the city, Tampa by the county, Orlando by the city and county, Miami by the county, Ft. Lauderdale by the county, Charlotte by the city - none of it's owned by the feds.

Right, so do we even have authority to rename these airports without putting them under federal control?

I certainly won't sign anything that doesn't give me an airport somewhere either. Wink

You're going to pay billions to operate airports and take that away from the regions? Hartsfield-Jackson, for what it's worth, has around $3B in debt - just so you know what you're getting into.

Is there an airport in South Carolina we can name after the President?
