Recently, I have been invited to join a group of transportation experts who are blogging at NationalJournal.com. My first post was last week on the topic: How Should the Infrastructure 
Stimulus Be Spent?
As I have suggested in this space, Congress should consider setting aside some of the proposed economic stimulus funds for airport infrastructure. Check out my post in the National Journal’s blog.
I also used the opportunity to make the industry’s case for changing the tax laws so that airport private bond issues will not be subject to the alternate minimum tax. Since September not a single bond issue has come to market because of the investment community’s fear these bonds will be subject to the AMT.
