    You cannot be serious - The citizens of Phoenix are now on the hook for $5m per contract to fly people non-stop internationally. How many people in Phoenix have flown non-stop internationally? This benefits only the wealthy, globalists, business owners and does not benefit the average Phoenician.

    This is a globalist policy. The citizens of Phoenix are now on the hook for $5m per contract to fly people non-stop internationally. How many people in Phoenix have flown non-stop internationally? This is inequitable. It benefits the wealthy, globalists, business owners and does not benefit the average Phoenician.

    $5 million per contract for an inequitable policy that benefits the wealthy, globalist, business owners and not your average Phoenician. I don't think so. This should definitely be a NO vote.

    $5m per contract to fly people non-stop internationally. How does this even make sense to all the Arizona residents who don't fly internationally and just how many non-stop international flights originate out of Sky Harbor? It appears to me that this incentive program benefits the wealthy, globalists, and business owners. Makes me wonder if this is more of a government benefit program when used to send back those individuals who came to the US of illegal entry.

    This is similar to essential air service, but the PHX market is large enough to thrive on it's own. We should not be putting our tax dollars into flights that aren't financially lucrative on their own.

    This is a waste of taxpayer money. If the market can't handle the fees necessary to support it then the City shouldn't be propping it up with subsidies. That's why we live in a free market society. This isn't the government's job.
