Feb. 15 deadline State Rep. James Koetje said a bipartisan legislative committee is still waiting for documents from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to complete a preliminary audit review. The Auditor General s Office authorized by our committee requested information from the administrators of Metro Airport.
Information delayed is information denied.
Continued foot-dragging by airport officials will not be accepted. Koetje said the Joint Legislative Select Committee on Wayne County s Detroit Metropolitan Airport wants to know what remedies can be implemented to improve airport operations and the only way to accomplish this is by having the auditors request honored. We want our domestic and international travelers to be treated in a first-class manner when they fly into or out of Detroit. Getting the information we need, in a timely fashion, is the first step toward that goal as we explore solutions. The airport committee approved the resolution by a 4-2 vote.
