Today, the Alliance for Aviation Across America announced that Mayors from fifteen communities across Ohio have joined Mayors across the country in recognizing the critical importance of general aviation to local towns and communities around the country. The petition specifically cites the harm that a proposed $100-per-flight “user fee” tax would cause on businesses, farms, and non-profit organizations that depend on general aviation. In Ohio, general aviation contributes more than $5.5 billion into the economy every year and supports 17,000 jobs.
