A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS, SUPPORTING THE REPEAL
OR REVISION OF THE WRIGHT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
SIGN.
WHEREAS, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has some of the highest
airfares in the country because of lack of competition resulting
from the Wright Amendment; and
WHEREAS, these higher fares hurt the local economy as business
and individual travelers pay artificially high prices to fly; and
WHEREAS, the high cost to fly into and out of the Dallas area
makes our convention and meeting industries suffer, thus hurting
the local hotel, restaurant, and convention trade; and
WHEREAS, competitive pricing through increased competition
will increase the number of passengers at BOTH Dallas airports and
create more jobs for the airline industry, hotel industry,
restaurant industry, and convention industry, thus increasing the
employment base of our economy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OFT HE CITY
