53 – Lincoln Airport Authority: Dave Haring and Rachel Barth
This month, I am sitting down with Dave Haring, Executive Director of the Lincoln Airport Authority, and Rachel Barth, Director of Communications and Customer Engagement. We take a closer look at a ballot measure for commercial airports across the state. If passed, Constitutional Amendment 1 would give local governments control of how airport funding is used, leading to more airline options and increased customer satisfaction. Tune in to learn more about this initiative and be sure to get out and vote on November 8.
A podcast that pairs craft beer reviews and politics.
