Rep. Johnson discusses tank ordeal at Portsmouth Airport
By Patrick Keck - pkeck@aimmediamidwest.com
MINFORD A tank has stood outside the Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport for the past 25 years and one U.S. Congressman is trying to keep it that way.
Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, paid a visit to the airport Monday where he sat down with members of the Sciotoville Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3638. Having heard their concerns, he vowed to make a quick resolution to the matter.
“We are in discussions with the Navy about what our options are,” he said to the five veterans of the post in attendance. “We expect to have some information back from them sometime later this week.”
