INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) – Republican Ken Calvert, the Inland Empire’s senior member in Congress, is calling for the firing of the chief operating officer of Los Angeles World Airways which runs Ontario International Airport.

· Steve Martin referred in the Los Angeles Times to the Inland Empire as the 'inbred Inland Empire' in April 2013.”

· “During a presentation to the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners this year, Martin referred to board-authorized improvements at Ontario International "as a storied tale of charity toward the Inland Empire.’

Calvert said Monday that “The attitude and biases of high ranking LAWA officials make it crystal clear that they do not have the best interest of the Inland Empire in mind.

The court filings demonstrate that the city of Los Angeles is running the Ontario airport like a slumlord.”
