With a new cost-cutting budget proposal from President Donald Trump expected on Thursday, general-aviation advocates took the offensive on Monday and sent a letter to Congress asking them to protect funding for contract towers. NBAA, AOPA, and eight other groups sent a letter to Congress asking them to fully fund the towers in the FAA appropriations bill for this year. President Trump’s proposal is expected to include $54 billion in budget cuts and dramatically reduce the federal workforce, according to news reports from The Hill and the Washington Post.
