And why should it be turned over to VA? VA turned it over to MWAA in the first place!

Because MWAA has been doing a lousy job representing VA's interests. Not surprising considering that MWAA is majority run by MD and DC. Yes, it was a mistake to hand over the DTR and the airports in the first place (which is why the Silver Line had to be handed to MWAA since the financing is 50% DTR tolls). But, it's time to reverse that mistake and hold MWAA accountable for representing VA interests, take away MWAA's responsibilities, and/or continue to stack the MWAA Board by adding more VA representatives (which dilutes MD/DC influence).

Blaming VA for handing assets over to the MWAA in the first place is like blaming people for investing their money with Bernie Madoff. Yes, that was a mistake but it doesn't make Madoff any less culpable. Also, just because VA gave MWAA a job to do doesn't mean VA shouldn't fire them if they don't do the job the way we want it done.
