The state Legislature intends to revisit the future of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the second time this year that local politicians have tried to restructure the group. State Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, said she wants a more accountable, transparent airport operator with fewer layers.

In a letter sent to authority chairman Joe W. Craver, Kehoe said the authority has completed a chief task it was created to undertake: The airport site-selection process, which culminated in June with the choice of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar as the best site to accommodate future air travel needs. (Voters head to the polls Nov. 7 to weigh in on the Miramar initiative.)

The letter comes at a precarious time for the authority, when its operations have come under increased scrutiny and it has struggled to find political allies for a ballot measure facing strong pushback from the military and some businesses.
