Recent Congressional support for g.a. airports adversely impacted by presidential TFRs (Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago)

Lawmakers' letter to DOT/FAA re Notice of Funding Opportunity, advocates relief (grant opportunity) for:
"These closures severely disrupt operations and result in millions in lost revenue for the small businesses that operate out of these airports and employ hundreds of people."

REF: AOPA Lawmakers urge FAA to reimburse businesses affected by presidential TFRs

... bipartisan support for general aviation. :)
 
Of course they could do the right thing and simply eliminate the size of the TFRs or carve out notches for nearby airports...

I often fly into N72, which is one mile inside the typical Trump TFR, with no notch in the TFR.
