  1. Yep.. The Tallahassee airport is dead. Now you got this project that the
    taxpayers voted for to four lane roads from the airport to Gaines street.
    Gaines street is a bubble just waiting to burst. Tax revenue has already
    fell off a cliff. This is not going to end well in my opinion..
