SpaceX gets FAA launch approval, provided they fund interest groups

SpaceX gets FAA launch approval, provided they fund interest groups
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/13/faa-spac...rward.html


Quote:SpaceX will be required to take more than 75 actions to mitigate environmental impacts before the company can receive a launch license for the site, the FAA said in a press release.



Quote:The company will also contribute to local education and preservation efforts — including preparing a historical context report of the events of the Mexican War and the Civil War that took place in the area as well as replacing missing ornaments on a local historical marker. The company will also make annual contributions of $5,000 each to organizations that protect ocelots and endangered birds of prey, as well as a state recreational fishing program.


The FAA delayed this environmental approval by many months, because they said they wanted to deal with all the public feedback they got.

Well, it seems that every interest group in the region demanded a share of the pie.

Should the FAA be dealing with every local interest group?  This seems like government overreach - arbitrary rulings on things that should be taken care of by local governments.  Basically, a federal bureaucrat making legal decisions arbitrarily based on personal feeling.

Any comments?
