Craig runway extension hits resident roadblock; Opponents of the plan say it will result in increased traffic, such as an air taxi charter service.
Planes from Craig fly directly over Beverly Garvin's Holly Oaks Lake Road home. She said aviation authority officials are trying their luck with the newly elected council.
"I don't know how many times I have to stand up in front of these gentlemen and say, 'No,'" she said. "The City Council has said that to them, but it's like they don't hear. They don't know what the word 'no' means."
