"Due to capacity issues in the garage and instances of abuse by a few members who use the garage as a long-term storage facility for their vehicles, the Aviation Department would prefer that access, if any, granted to state officials be reduced, if not entirely eliminated," said David Petersen, the airport's top lawyer.
