Leesburg's Town Manager presented his five year budget plan to the Town Council yesterday. In the Airport section, he's proposing "operational and capital improvement reductions and deferrals" (without much detail) and proposing a RIF (government term for Layoff - Reduction In Force) of 20 employees, one of whom is the Airport Manager. My friends at the airport tell me that he's going to use another supervisor to run the airport on a part-time basis. Apparently Tim is on admin leave until the Council blesses the budget in total. The Town Manager is supposed to be on the agenda to brief his detailed plan to the Airport Commission on Thursday evening at 7 PM at the airport, in the conference room on the third floor. I have to work and can't make the meeting, but concerned Leesburg Pilots should go and hear what is said. Yeah, I miss the good old days...
