The vote to boost the airport's legal war chest to $3 million means Austin is now spending 58% more on lawyer bills than its rejected offer to Lonestar. The increase in legal costs"came after Lonestar filed a federal lawsuit in response to the City's legal action to acquire the leasehold," ABIA said in a statement to KUT, calling the addition of a new midfield concourse"a necessary step to increase capacity for more flights at AUS."
Lonestar Airport Holdings said the city's wouldn't have to spend so much on lawyers if it had offered"reasonable terms reflecting our existing 40-year agreement." "We're eager to continue to be a good partner to the city, to foster further development of the airport and to resolve this dispute," Lonestar CEO Jeff Pearse said in a statement.
