Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I just received the following information, extracted from an update sent to me by AOPA. "Conspicuously absent in the [budget] proposal for 2011 are the “direct user charges” alluded to in last year's budget. The administration had proposed replacing some excise taxes with the fees starting in 2011, but the proposal faced opposition from AOPA, other industry groups, and members of Congress." ... "Shortly after the release of the budget, the Department of Transportation confirmed in a conference call with industry stakeholders that no user fees were on the agenda; Fuller thanked Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood for their absence." It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood ..... Quote
