Here are some answers to Mr. Dillon's concerns about the figures in this letter:
Page 113 of Rhode Island's FY 2013 Capital Budget - FY 2013 – FY 2017 Capital Improvement Plan shows the following:
"As part of the FY 2013 – FY 2017 capital budget process the Governor recommends a total $174.0 million in a Kushner bond authorization for the financing of various (airport) capital projects for FY 2013 to FY 2017 including costs associated with a deicer management system, runway and taxiway acquisition, and facility developments."
That is an astounding number which raises RIAC's borrowing to $500 million. (Mr. Nesi's figure above was $65 million in new borrowing about one third of the airport's request for $174 million announced in the state budget.)
The glycol management plant need of $23 million is confirmed in the state capital budget. The $1.7 million for the gates is from a RIAC Board of Director's meeting minutes. The 20% state match is an FAA number.
There are no other "figures" in my letter to the editor. I don't know why Mr. Dillon is questioning them. They are his own numbers!
