Rep. John Murtha was responsible for building a $150M airport that only 20 passengers use on a daily basis. Boy this gets my goat. If they had all the pork money given out to things like this and other silly things we could afford to cover everyones health insurance.

Likely he built if for government drug running operations. CIA and other government operations require small airports such as this to bring their drugs in through.
Our airport was one.
Mena, Ar. was one.
Some say he is involved in the deals too.
