LIVE | El Paso Rep Veronica Escobar Speaks About FAA Reopening Airport Airspace in Texas | N18G

Published | Video Starts at 28:42

My team and I spent a significant amount of time trying to find out what happened, why this was happening. And I am saying unequivocally, This was an FAA decision and it was done without any local consultation and without any local communication. That is not the way that the federal government should operate. Any impact of this magnitude needs to be communicated with clarity and with advance notice. (28:42–28:52)
