There is only one realistic choice today for Broward County commissioners deciding the fate of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport: Expand the south runway to 8,000 feet. The airport is a major economic driver in Broward whose expansion should be encouraged, not hindered in a misguided attempt to retard growth and progress.

That would be a good thing, I've had the pleasure of flying out of FLA a number of times and compared to MIA it's a dream of an airport. Now if they expand the runway to accommodate international flights it's no more Miami for me, ever!
