C.A.S.E. MEETING MINUTES May 1, 2002

+Senator Karen Keiser: new 33rd District Senator 7:05pm - A State Senate Transportation Committee hearing will be held on July 18th. On the agenda is consideration of the need for a second regional airport. This is the first step of many to get the legislature to approve the study and proceed to site a new airport. Meeting to be held in neutral Wenatchee. + Welcome comments by CASE President Brett Fish 7:10 pm In the News: The Port is shooting Canadian Geese across from Sunnydale grade school. The Port does the FAA requirement & the Fish & Wildlife permits to keep birds away from the airport. Brett contacted KOMO & KING TV and South and East County Journal picked it up along with Tacoma News Tribune ... all talking abut the geese. Brett then showed a recording of the KOMO TV New article questioning the use of firearms around homes, business and schools. The Port needs to disperse information to the schools before shooting. The Highline Times ran an advertisement "10 Reasons for a Conveyor Belt". The Westcot Co. must be desperate to be running these ads. They are also running TV adds on CNN, History Channel, Cable News & Fox. For all of this media advertising blitz, as of this date, only 2 favorable e-mail responses to the Des Moines City Hall for the conveyor and close to 100 negative against. .. Westcot's media campaign is falling way short of their goal to get the Des Moines City Council…
