Perhaps kanawa county is as corrupt as the state. Wouldn't surprise me.;
You were wrong with the first statement and when you got called on it, you were being hateful and making assumptions again. (BTW, the county name is spelled Kanawha.)

Whether the state is robbing everybody outside of Charleston is off topic for this thread, and irrelevant to whether Yeager Airport can take land by eminent domain.

It is very relevant. This is just another example of exploitation. An airport is heavily linked to state funding. You might not know how funding works but in a matter of primary airport expansion the state is involved.

The state robs land and money from the honest people and gives it out to special interest and welfare to a select area. Kanawa is just their proxy.

You come into a thread and make a claim of exploitation with nothing to back up the claim.

State funding does not equal state control. You claim the state is robbing people but offer nothing to substantiate it. Document the robbery. Prove they were honest people. Name the special interests. So far, you've offered nothing but hot air.

(Actually, I know quite a bit about how funding works. In the case of an airport, the federal government is much more likely to be deeply involved in what projects get funded that the state.)

Right. You have nothing to offer to this discussion. I happen to hold the personal opinion that many people in the Governor's office and the leadership of the legislature are crooks, too, but that is irrelevant to whether the airport can take land by eminate domain.

So we are agreeing? Stop making an unnecessary argument to defend a local branch of a corrupt system, especially when we agree.

No, we don't agree. You're seeing corruption and conspiracy everywhere you look. I only see it where there is evidence. So far, the only thing suspicious I see at the airport is the TSA.

Than look harder. It isn't a conspiracy either since the state makes to attempt to hide it.
