American Airlines closing overhaul base, will they give back the tax subsidies?
October 27, 2009 | 3 Comments
Breaking news… KMBC-TV 9 reports that American Airlines will close their overhaul base at KCI. This is a big blow to the city. 500 high-paying skilled manufacturing jobs will disappear by this time next year.
We wonder if American Airlines will give back the nearly $100 million subsidies that the city and state gave them in 2003, during the Kay Barnes administration. Otherwise, the city could be on the hook to pay off bonds used to renovate the facility the last time the airline threatened to close it.

our leaders are always glad to give any one a few million dollars that will play golf and have a few drinks with them.dont worry about it there is plenty more waiting in line. it has always been done this way. we the tax payers are willing to pick up the tab, so enjoy your selfs.
Looks like someone didn’t go their research and I wonder why money is given without protecting the people.
