Aviation alliance to respond to Obama corporate jet remarks
A group that advocate for business aviation will respond this week to President Obama's frequent remarks about "protecting tax breaks for corporate jet owners" that have dotted his speeches since this summer.
During the debate over raising the debt ceiling, Obama frequently accused Republicans of preferring to preserve tax breaks for wealthy private jet owners than average Americans. In one news conference this summer, he invoked tax breaks for corporate jet owners six times in about an hour's worth of remarks.
On Tuesday, the Alliance for Aviation Across America will respond to those comments, and defend corporate jet owners for playing a vital role in the U.S. economy.
The group will hold a conference call with Franklin, Va. Mayor James Councill and East Liverpool, Ohio Mayor James Swoger.
The group will also release a letter asking Obama to discontinue the remarks signed by mayors from 43 states.
