Sen. Moran Asks Sen. Reid to Put Safety of Americans Above Politics, Save Control Towers
Mar 20 2013
U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) continued his push on the Senate floor this morning to save Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Contract Control Towers and asked Senate Democratic Leadership to put the safety of Americans before politics and allow a vote on his amendment to stop the planned FAA funding cuts to 179 air traffic control towers in 42 states. If U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) continues to block Sen. Moran’s amendment, which has 26 bipartisan Senate cosponsors – air traffic control towers across the country will close on April 7, 2013, and put the safety of Americans in jeopardy.
