From Mark Hancock, Renton citizen:
Hi Marcie, Don & Randy –
Sometime back, I found a list of FAA/airport law cases, and finally relocated it tonight (it’s an eye opener):

As we all know, the FAA is not easy to deal with, and usually wins. Even the City of Naples, Florida, famous for having beaten them in court, spent
$3.4 million in studies and legal fees over 5 years to justify and defend their ban on Stage 2 jets.

Mayor Tanner reminded us all a few years ago that the FAA can require airport related uses, but they cannot tell us who we have to lease to. It is easier (and cheaper) to deal with things up front, than after we let businesses/users into our property and the FAA gets more involved and has more leverage.
