CNSNews.com - Stimulus Money Spent on Questionable Airport Projects, IG Report Says: "CNSNews.com) – Taxpayer dollars from the economic recovery act are going to airport projects that are not necessary, have a history of poor oversight and are unlikely to boost the economy, a government report said.
Some of the questionable projects included the use of about $28 million to replace two rural Alaska airports, both of which are within 10 miles of larger airports; $4.8 million for a new taxiway in Ohio and $909,806 for a runway design – not runway construction – in Delaware.
A report by Calvin L. Scovel, inspector general for the Department of Transportation, issued a report this month scolding the Federal Aviation Administration for not prioritizing its handing out of $1.1 billion in airport improvement grants. This was a preliminary report that Scovel said the office will be following up on shortly."
