Today culminates almost two years of hard work to bring a worthy project and worthy goals together. To do so took solving political and legal issues that were very difficult. . . . Today, we get to finally focus on the success that's in front of us.

It's a good day for Tempe.

With this determination, I hope the era of, 'The sky is falling' is over. We must keep in mind the airport is here to serve our communities and not the other way around.
