the full report
LaGuardia
Airport represents one of the greatest challenges in the Seventh
Congressional District. As a resident the community adjacent to
the airport, I know first hand the tremendous impact the airport
has on day to day life in Queens County. From noise pollution to
air pollution, airplane congestion to ground traffic congestion,
I have been working both in Congress and in our District to improve
the situation at the airport. LaGuardia may not ever be a welcome
neighbor, but we can work to make it a better neighbor.
