Do We Have To Keep It Local?


February 11, 2018

St. Louis is considering privatizing its airport. Naturally, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering about who would land the contract and what changes that would mean for the airport. And skullduggery in making the decision to privatize and awarding the contract is darkly suspected, as is usual with any project involving massive amounts of money going to a corporation and paid for by taxpayers.

An alderwoman wrote a column in the Post-Dispatch, and said that she had seen world-class airports in Tokyo, London and Amsterdam. Who, she wondered, should be in charge of a project like this?



Any chance that our regional leaders would choose an airport administrator from Tokyo, London or Amersterdam?
