[QUOTE="lostinnd, post: 239942, member: 1428"] The new airport in Williston is quite a joke. Just look at the expanded one in Minot that has empty terminals that have never been opened, waste of money there. Minot is quite a bit bigger than Williston so I don't know how they expect to utilize a similarly sized airport, especially with the drop in boardings over the last 3-4 years. The land that the old airport is on is going to be a tough sell since there are still hundreds of empty residential lots and tons of empty commercial lots West of town. People act like the City/State ONLY having to contribute 50-100 MILLION dollars out of the total cost is a bargain, federal dollars come out of all of our pockets! Just like a lot of the poor financial decisions made by the City/State this one may just be another "$50 million" in debt but hey whatever its just numbers right? Maybe someday someone running the City will say enough is enough and become fiscally responsible. Its a shame that the locals on the commission are even supporting all of these poor decisions. We left Williston a year ago and love it. Sure the ARC is nice, sure the new airport will be nice, etc but look at their shitty schools that they have done nothing to improve. Thats one of the primary reasons we left. They built a new high school that is smaller than the old one and they wondered why after one year it was already overcrowded? Not to mention the building is poorly designed and junk overall. I hope the citizens continue to vote down these absurd bonds for new schools and send a message to the idiots in charge that they need to get their head out of their ass. You can thank greasy Hoven for pushing that airport funding through even after boardings declined upwards of 80%. [/QUOTE]
