JetBlue discussion brewing at Beer & Politics

LONG BEACH - The future of JetBlue at Long Beach Airport is on tap at next week's Beer & Politics gathering.

The airline's CEO has complained about the pace of terminal and parking improvements at Long Beach Airport, but the process has been slowed by a lawsuit, environmental reviews and strong public interest. The company says that it was promised better facilities when it became the airport's largest tenant nine years ago.

Council members Gary DeLong and Tonia Reyes Uranga and Airport Director Mario Rodriguez are due to participate. Beer & Politics is at 7 p.m. April 28 at Gallagher's Pub & Grill, 2751 E. Broadway. Go to www.beerandpolitics.org
