HUSH 2 on "stand-by" on Long Beach Airport "noise"

The response to last week's Press Telegram story on JetBlue's plans for Long Beach Airport has taken the internet by storm.

In addition to blog posts and emails sending the Press Telegram story into an internet tailspin...the Facebook exchanges have been to say the least interesting.

Below are the Facebook exchanges from former Councilwomen and HUSH 2 activist Rae Gabelich:

  Gerrie Schipske Read my quote carefully -- it will not have support if it violates the City's noise ordinance -- plain and simple.

  LaVonne Miller I'm glad to hear that Gerrie Schipske for Mayor 2014. It does, however, require careful reading .

  Rae Gabelich Gerrie, for whatever reason I am not able to send you a private message. We do need to talk about this. Your quotes can be misleading to both residents and corporate. This is not a path I want to walk down again, but will do so if necessary.

  Gerrie Schipske I get private messages all the time. The issue isn't coming to City Council according to Airport Director. I don't know how my quote is misleading: any proposal cannot violate or change the city airport noise ordinance. The City is not going to pay for an international flight facility.

  Rae Gabelich Actually the 'Jet Blue Wish List" to restate the noise ordinance to allow JB to fly their E190's would be considered a change to the ordinance. They knew when they purchased the planes they could not fly in the communter category in Long Beach. According to Mr. Shannon, ANY CHANGE, sensible or not, would put the noise ordinance in jeopardy.

  Gerrie Schipske Unless or until Jet Blue makes an official request -- this story was leaked by a paid blogger which was then picked up by the PRess Telegram. Any change in flight slots or to have an international customs facility would require city council action. So can we slow down on this until the request becomes real?
