At the July 29 airport board meeting, Michael Clayton asked that staff meet with Coastal Valley Aviation after concerns were raised about a large rent increase.
That is the kind of detail people should notice.
Airport revenue matters. So do the businesses that keep aviation services alive at SMX.
You need board members who can look at both sides and keep the conversation practical.
