We have an airport for the jobless

County Manager Dan McMillan recently sat down with the folks over at the Jefferson Post to go over his honey-do list for 2011.

Most amusing on the list: "updating the county website to include the airport."

We enjoy beating dead horses and think it's worth pointing out again that the county's Economic Development Commission website  remains empty. Perhaps actually providing information for prospective business would help out with the 9.9 percent unemployment rate more than including just the airport on the website.

Besides, we understand that the Vannoy boys have to park their fancy bi-plane down at the Wilkes Airport because the runway here at Ashe International is too short.
