ASA enables members to use voice to make opinion heard
Is there any doubt that every vote counts and every voice is heard? It’s 2017 and a new president was recently sworn in, along with a Republican-controlled House and Senate. No matter your political leanings in Washington, inaugurations are an exciting time (especially in a town that hasn’t won a sports title in almost 30 years, we just don’t get those kinds of parades).
We’ve all heard the campaign promises, that the Affordable Care Act will be repealed and replaced. But just as challenging as it was to craft the original law in 2009–2010, repealing and replacing it will be equally challenging and this is where the rubber meets the road. How challenging will it be? An apt comparison might be the long slog to build the Next Gen air traffic controlling system. One that needs to be built, tested and deployed while planes are flying. The fact is, NextGen’s slowly being inserted into our air travel system airport by airport, with the timeline being from 2012–2025 to get it fully stood up; oh and it must also integrate with foreign systems to accommodate overseas travel.
