SMO Update: Statement from Mayor Tony Vazquez

August 30, 2016 3:43 PM

“We are not surprised that the FAA has expressed interest in the Council’s action to close SMO as soon as legally possible.  The FAA has consistently maintained their support for aviation interests despite their mandate to also protect public health and safety.  We will respond respectfully but vigorously to defend our rights to local control of land owned by the citizens of Santa Monica since 1926.”
