[BC] KFI Tower replacement ?

[Barry Mishkind]

Thanks for sharing this update, Michael.

I know many folks have wondered "where" it is in the process, but as 
you hint, there are so many of these little petty bureaucrats 
involved, it was destined to be a difficult issue in the first place.

The saddest part is ... apparently .... if it were not for the 
bureaucrats, there is some good reason to believe that the whole 
accident would never have happened. What a shame they have no ... erm 
.. .shame.
