Shopping At The Airport

 This appeared in the Star over a month ago, been meaning to post...yesterday's post made me think of it.
 
Another front page article in the Star. David Graham Long of the Aviation Department extols the benefits of a new terminal that offers more shopping, including even "spa services"...now that is something most air travelers need as they get stiffed on high air fares.

As is usually the case someone has to spoil the excitement spawned by the Aviation Department.

"Remember debt service for a $1.2 billion new terminal is likely to be close to $70 million a year...in terms of making a new terminal affordable, retail sales are not a well thought out argument". Joseph Miller, policy analyst from the Show Me Institute.
