On Monday, former Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx will be in Atlanta for one of his first public speeches since becoming U.S. Transportation Secretary. There he'll speak to a transportation "summit" sponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Among the 40 lawmakers from around the country at the summit will be state Rep. Bill Brawley, a Matthews Republican who co-chairs the N.C. House Transportation Committee. He also shepherded Gov. Pat McCrory's transportation initiative, the Strategic Mobility Forumula, through the General Assembly.
Brawley and Foxx have been on opposite sides of the Charlotte airport battle. Brawley introduced a bill to create an airport authority. When Republican leaders switched course at the 11th hour and passed a bill for an airport commission, he voted for that. Before going to Washington, Foxx fought hard to keep the airport in city hands.
Now the matter is in the hands of the FAA, which will decide whether a commission can operate the airport. The FAA is part of the transportation department.
So will Brawley hold a summit of his own with Foxx?
"If the opportunity presents itself, I'd certainly want to discuss issues with the secretary," Brawley says.

Fitting that Foxxy would pick Atlanta to deliver one of his first speeches in his new job. Is the FBI still investigating Kasim Reed for awarding Hartsfield contracts to vendors who contributed to the mayor and to Obama? Foxx is the reason for the CLT debacle. After he looked to the airport to possibly fund his streetcar, business leaders feared that he shared too many ideas with his buddy, Mayor Reed.
So Mayor Foxx asking questions about something he ultimately could not do justifies the abrupt rending of the airport from the City in a way that threatens its bond covenants? I don't think so. A naked power grab is still a naked power grab, no matter how many rationalizations the legislature offers to dress it up.
First, he tried to use it to fund a streetcar. Nwho knows, next he and his buds might have tried to use it to fund themselves, like Reed was alleged to have done. He used the taxpayers of Charloote to fund his journey to D,C, He is a spoiled brat, and not a very smart one. But now that the agency he heads has shut down a runway, we will probably not be an American hub. But, I look on the bright side: maybe he will fail in his bid for governor and will be relegated by the Black Political Caucus to occupy Watt's gerrymandered seat. By the way, I don't think Lil Anthony is capable of Carr using Mel Watt's water.
The entire suburban 25 million population of 360 degree perimeter NC and SC new owner operators of their new Metro Douglas International Jetport would like to extend a thanks to Mr. Foxx and his total incompetency as mayor for our new facility athough it appears it was intentional since he could see the lights of Detroit at the end of the light rail and streetcar tunnel so the jetport is now eternally in safe good hands.
Little (big fat) Anthony and his Imperials in the WH will all be history anyway sooner than later and gone with the wind.

More good news. Southern California physician diagnoses a patient as terminally homosexual. Muslim socialist Obama the first homosexual president who refuses to come out of the closet is failing with with his domestic and international policies as if that is a shock and a return to pre-1975 occurring when homosexual pedophiles (same thing) were considered as a mentally psychotically ill (sicko.

The hypocrisy of the liberal NYC judge and liberal credibility challenged Holder using the 4th Amendment invasion of privacy say nothing about the 300 million Americans being illegaly and unlawfully without reason made terrorists by Obama and his vast NSA all exposed by yiddish Edward Snowden born in Elizabeth City and raised in Wilmington NC where he attended school.
Snowden is being made the worlds #1 criminal by Obama who was baptized in Sharia paternal law so is eternally a pagan and why he cannot come out of his homosexual closet that would mean death nor can he deny being a muslim.
Fuehrer Obama was also a secret admirer of Hitler and his National Socialist Workers party labor movement he formed and won in 1933 in Berlin using the ancient Chinese progressive "Forward" wheel as his symbol.
Mr. Snowden who represents We The People was clearly on his way to the showers and oven or could have been a lampshade on the Oval Office desk had this issue not become exposed unwittingly by the media.
Russian president capitalist muslim nazi hater Xian Vlad "tough guy" Putin is the real American hero in this matter.

You nut jobs are just raving mad because Secretary Foxx is now really in control. Instead of mocking the former mayor, it's obvious that most of you need to dedicate more time to completing your middle school certificates. Then maybe you will be allowed in high school.

Obama spends 111,000 per second adding up to 3.6 trillion annually from only 50% of who pay taxes. Mitt was 3% off on only 47% moochers or entitlement squatters although we realize real retired or diabled (not fakes) account for some of that.
The US economy should be tip top spending that ungodly amount. Thats as much of 75% of the entire planet annual budgets combined.
The entire 65 nation continent of Africa spends 600 billion. All of Asia spends 1.9 trillion annually.

What does 15 trillion (17 trillion in 2013) )look like or all unfunded liabilities at 115 trillion (135 trillion in 2013)

Paternal Sharia Law muslim Obama called the terorist muslim Ft Hood murders as simple "work place violence" now incredulously refuses to award Purple Hearts to the 16 good soldiers murdered by the rodent including those shot and injured in this bloody mess.
Humm ... Whose side is he on?
This horrific crime reeks of similarity to Benghazi that he was caught in bald faced lies blaming some you tube muslim still in jail without bail in Los Angeles.
Very interesting ...

Even the respectable liberal rag NY Times is asking questions why Obama lied to We The People multiple times covering his own assets on his massive NSA "bogus" scandal and now the opposite is true with massive 4th amendment violations.
Obviously when Obama's lips are moving he is lying but how many more free passes does this traitor get?
