The County of Humboldt is requesting approval from the Board of Supervisors to accept a grant from the FAA for airport infrastructure improvements. The grant will fund the relocation of a taxiway at the California Redwood Coast - Humboldt County Airport. The lowest bidder, Granite Construction Company, has been selected for the project. The grant will cover 95% of the costs, with the county covering the remaining 5%. The project has been identified as a priority by the Department of Aviation and FAA.

(Chorus)
Ho, the County of Humboldt, where the redwoods meet the sea
We’re building up our airport, for travelers to be free
With the FAA grant in hand, we’ll relocate Taxiway A
To welcome in the planes that come from near and far away
(Verse 1)
On the fourteenth of July in the year 2026
The Board of Supervisors met to make their politics
Aviation had a plan, to accept the FAA’s grant
To fund the airport project, and make it just as grand
(Chorus)
Ho, the County of Humboldt, where the redwoods meet the sea
We’re building up our airport, for travelers to be free
With the FAA grant in hand, we’ll relocate Taxiway A
To welcome in the planes that come from near and far away
(Verse 2)
Granite Construction won the bid, the lowest price they gave
To relocate Taxiway A, and the lights to here behave
Lochner Inc. will oversee the project, see it through
With their help we’ll soon have an airport that is brand new
(Chorus)
Ho, the County of Humboldt, where the redwoods meet the sea
We’re building up our airport, for travelers to be free
With the FAA grant in hand, we’ll relocate Taxiway A
To welcome in the planes that come from near and far away
(Verse 3)
The funding sources have been found, to cover all the costs
Aviation funds and grants, to avoid any loss
The staff is ready to go, no impact on their roles
With this project completed, we’ll be reaching our goals
(Chorus)
Ho, the County of Humboldt, where the redwoods meet the sea
We’re building up our airport, for travelers to be free
With the FAA grant in hand, we’ll relocate Taxiway A
To welcome in the planes that come from near and far away
(Outro)
So here’s to Humboldt County, and the airport by the bay
May our skies be clear and open, as we go on our way
With the Resolution passed, and the money in our hands
We’ll build a better airport, for travelers in our lands.

… or, as a right-wing radio talk show hosted by Merv "The Beast" Tarkington!
Merv “The Beast” Tarkington: Good morning, patriots. This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington coming to you live from the heart of America. Today, we have some breaking news out of Humboldt County that is sure to make your blood boil.
The Board of Supervisors in Humboldt County has approved a protocol for appointing members of the public to various boards, committees, and commissions. This may sound innocent enough on the surface, but make no mistake, folks, this is just another way for the radical left to infiltrate our local government and push their socialist agenda.
I’ve got my hands on the quarterly report of projected vacancies on these appointed boards, and let me tell you, it’s a who’s who of liberal activists and social justice warriors. These are the same people who want to defund our police, open our borders, and destroy our way of life. And now they want to be in charge of making decisions that affect our communities? Not on my watch.
But it doesn’t stop there, folks. The Clerk of the Board’s Office is accepting applications year-round for these positions. That’s right, they’re just inviting anyone and everyone to come in and take over our local government. And where is the funding for all of this coming from? You guessed it, the General Fund. Your hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being used to fund this liberal takeover.
But fear not, patriots. We will not stand idly by and let this happen. We need to rise up, speak out, and fight back against this blatant attempt to undermine our democracy. Contact the Board of Supervisors in Humboldt County and let them know that we will not be silenced. We will not be pushed aside. We are the silent majority, and we will not be ignored.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. And remember, freedom isn’t free. It’s up to us to defend it. This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington, signing off. God bless America.
