Naples City Council blog: Discussion expected about airport noise

City of Naples beat reporter Kristine Gill will be blogging and tweeting from the Naples City Council meeting.

The two parties are coming together after a March town hall meeting when residents complained that low-flying planes were affecting their quality of life.
