This morning, Congressman Jerry Nadler appeared on The Brian Lehrer Show on NPR (WNYC 93.9 FM, AM 820 and WNYC.org) to discuss the ban on helicopter sightseeing tours that he and 20 other elected officials have asked Mayor de Blasio to institute.  The Congressman talked about the dangers to the health and welfare and the diminution of quality of life that these ceaseless tours present for the millions of people living underneath their flight path.  He also brought up the fact that these tours bring almost no revenues to the City of New York and that Mayor de Blasio can easily, legally and single-handedly bring them to an end by terminating the concession agreement with Saker Aviation, the Nevada-based operator of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport.  To hear the discussion, click here.
