Times that headache by 10 during the playoffs or Super Bowl.
I remember flying into many of the airports on that list; AHN, MCN, MKL, OWB, PWA, and SWO. Hate to see any of them close. Well maybe MCN, they were never too friendly.

White House Admits (Third Time) President Obama Fibbed On Sequester
None other than NBC’s David Gregory today pressed Obama’s chief economic advisor, Gene Sperling, whether his boss told the truth that “the sequester is not something that I’ve proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed.” Sperling finally wilted under the pressure of tough questioning to admit that “yes, in fact, the sequestration was President Obama’s plan.”

Does not surprise me that POU made the list. With IBM and now Richmor out of there, there is no incentive to keep the tower. AAG has some operations and there is one flight school with a fleet of a whopping 3 aircraft..
