THINK WE SHOULD TELL EVERYONE WHAT WE'RE DOING? Nah,even we don't know, though I bounced your check Steve Isreal, lets keep them in the dark, said Nolan. Bodkin says what, Parrington, why are we here again?
3/18--Delta Air to pull out of MacArthur May 21st. More disappointing news on the airport to follow
Being set up to fail. Search was extemely limited and choosing one whom never managed an "airport". Lets see how does this work, you screw up royally and blame the next one to make yourself look good. Oh I get it. Thankfully now the residents are smarter and getting wiser than credit given.
We now promote drinking and driving. Like Bokin said at a town board meeting, "I am never so happy as when I have a drink in my hand and I am flying out of here."

Supervisor Nolan called the deal a 'winning equation,' saying, "The arrangement between MacArthur Airport and Spirit Airlines. Do you think Mr Nolan and side kick Councilman Bodkin are drinking to the fact they tried to pull off another grand stand to the people? see Airport hot air for more.

4/08--Supervisor Nolan added, "I am convinced the Town of Islip and Spirit Airlines will have a long and fruitful working relationship. I commend Councilman Christopher Bodkin, who traveled to Fort Lauderdale to secure the deal." Councilman Bodkin said, "The Town of Islip is very proud of our airport and its growing importance as a key transportation hub and economic engine. Spirit Airlines arrival at MacArthur will benefit all Long Islanders as it opens up travel options and contributes to our economy." Spirit’s Long Island MacArthur arrival follows on the heels of the Air Service Development Incentive Program proposed by Nolan and approved by the Islip Town Board.(Imagine that)
Airport scam it cost the taxpayers $17,000-Records also indicated and show Spirit Airlines being brought in is a poor grand stand show. This airlines was booted out of here years ago for never paying. Records show it took years of court fees and effort to fight for $90,000 they would not pay. We the taxpayers foot this bill. Obviously he did not think we would find this out. The lease being paid for Bayport Aerodome is such a sweet deal how could all of Al Werners friends refuse, it is the hang out- no money coming in to speak of.
