Just another example of "pork-barrel" politics. Our government literally throws away money to an estimated amount of $15 billion annually, not counting things like this "war" we're supporting. How do they figure this "Essential Air Service" benefits the people? This is just a convenience to a handful of passengers. We would be better served by increasing rail service and subsidizing mass transit programs.
