Rep. John Mica's Selective Memory When It Comes to FAA Projects Again Highlights His Hypocrisy

News
September 21, 2011
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) called out Rep. John Mica (R-FL) on his blatant hypocrisy for recently highlighting a new $6.2 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to upgrade runways and taxiways at Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine, a facility located in his district.

CWA Communications Director Candice Johnson said the problem is that while Rep. Mica is crowing about delivering FAA-related aviation and infrastructure upgrades at home, he neglects to acknowledge his key role in shutting down similar projects earlier this year all over America. Rep. Mica also fails to mention his continued unwillingness to forge a multi-year agreement on a FAA Reauthorization bill over an unrelated union busting provision sought by Delta Air Lines, she added.
