The
Aurora Municipal Airport is a good sized GA airport located in the Village of Sugar Grove. The Village of Sugar Grove is run by a bunch of 'tards. That's probably the nicest way I can put it.
The airport and the Aurora Sportsmen's Club were built/started before the ever was a village of Sugar Grove. Since the incorporation of the village and rapid residential development with the housing bubble, people were shocked, shocked I tell you to discover that an Airport and a Gun Club were in their backyards.
The 'tards were able to force annex and make the gun club move. However, they are not able to force annex and close the airport. Since the airport is 1) Bigger then 40 acres, 2) Owned by the City of Aurora and 3) The FAA told the 'tards to go pound sand.
SG thought that the building boom would go on forever and WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY over build and bought Municipal "Toys". They are up to their eyeballs in muni bond debt. They have a huge Municpal Building and Fire Department, a $8 million dollar
Library that due to funding is only open 5 days a week and some of those days are only for a few hours. The running joke is that "the one book is checked out, and besides someone has already colored all the pictures."
Though the population is about 9,000, the kids are bused to a neighboring school districts because they didn't build schools before the built the "Imperial Palace" errr Municipal Building.
So it comes as no surprise that the SGFD was afraid to get their fancy toys muddy.
