So let's see....
a) Central Whidbey big wigs complain about jet noise as a health hazard...
b) Central Whidbey big wigs want taxpayers to fund putting more people under the jet noise...
c) Steve Erickson thinks Central Whidbey big wigs are logical.

You know what I think?  This trail proposal is illogical - and it is public record I am a Worf or a Sisko, not a Spock.  Spend the money on South Whidbey, where it might do some good and be free of this jet noise controversy.
