Pat Gallagher Schallensberger (public commenter) criticized the proposed funding plan, saying initial figures cited as $180,000 rose to $300,000 and that adding $200,000 for the Chamber would make the total $500,000; he called the Chamber an "opaque private organization" and questioned the county's cash-flow assumptions for airport investments.
