As in where you walk into the subdivision, start knocking on every house' door, and give your sermon on airport expansion? I can see two scenarios with that. One, if it was me, I'd invite you all in and begin proclaiming how end of the world must be coming because evolution is now going backwards. I'd bring in all the examples of the scientists over the centuries that were considered heretics because the Church opposed progress. Two, if you show up on a weekend morning and knock on my door, I just might let my mutt out and let her talk for me (that bar scene from movie K-9 always reminds me of her somehow) seeing as it's the weekend and I'm either sleeping in or spending valuable time with my family.

AS far as the water I did some research on the "fuel spill" that was referenced at the AA meeting and found out that the ENTIRE runway and ALL the hanger area is SEALED! The "spill" would have simply puddled up and been quickly removed and the area dried. There would be NO WAY for the fuel to seep into ANY ground water or to contaminate anyone in the areas well. NOW if her well is already a bad water source that of course is a different story and everyone on a well needs to do periodic testing. Link to post Share on other sites

NOW if her well is already a bad water source that of course is a different story and everyone on a well needs to do periodic testing. That sounds reasonable but as I've said in previous topics I personally feel a plan inçluding baseline assessments of current environmental and noise conditions where baselines are established at the 100 close neighboring properties and a plan to buy out neighbors if it's found their quality of life and or property values are found to be deminished in the future, would go a long way to calm the neighbors fears. It's really a shame we find ourselves in this mess. We heard testamony earlier this week where our appointed and elected officials marched forward without approvals and financing because "we never had a problem before". I am of the personal opinion there are PR damage groups and environmental company's that could be brought in for fees less than the legal fees we will be encountering. In order for our airport to be successful we need to get this mess in order. We need to require the same process's be in order just like if you and I were break ground for a home or business. If you and I broke ground on a new building without permits and financing in place, you and I would be fools and we would be shut down immediately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Smith says 1,000,000 passengers a year. That's some mighty big airplanes. Think about it. Propeller has a new CEO. Propeller is an investment firm. Do you really think the investors are going to be happy with the return a little airport will bring them? My guess is the heat is already on Brett Smith from the new CEO to start turning a profit. Wonder why Brett Smith is not kicking the $ in to keep the runway expansion on schedule? He said he would. The runway portion is not shutdown due to the FAA settlement. Seems simple to me, Brett writes a check and the runway contractor is back working. If it's going to be such a money maker why is Brett Smith so silent? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wait............what I thought it was a couple of flights a week. Does anyone really know what the "plan" is? I've heard a million passengers a year to a couple of flights a week. Cray cray. No one even CPR has a clue what the business plan is. WHY???? because they do not have a business plan, Or if they have it is a secret because it has never been published. They never had a plan for the expansion, They did not get the proper permits, nor did they have the financing in place to perform the work. And as of today they still have neither.

Beach Bum Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Honestly but if I thought the airport expansion was TRULY going to hurt the overall good of our citizens, I would join you; however I think the airport expansion is going to do great things for our county. I will continue to support the PRO airport group as I can sincerely say they have the best interests of our county and it's citizens at heart. While I always appreciate others "working for their cause", I would hope they understand the group supporting the airport expansion is simply doing the same thing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I too share with you excitement for the progress Industrial MRO business's will bring us. It's the Commercial Air Service I can not find any justification for. In my opinion Surepip's plan for Class A Industrial buildings then incorporated at the Airport seems to me to have the possibility of providing us with the highest number of good paying jobs and opportunity to contribute to the tax base. I really believe the IBA could shine given this opportunity. Ride around Kennesaw, I'm guessing 50,000 +/- jobs in Class A Industrial buildings within 2 mlles of their airport. I was disappointed, maybe better said upset to see and listen to the 5 year plan for our airport. There was no mention of any Industrial MRO use at the airport in the next 5 years. I did question this later one on one and was told "that's the hangers". I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Hangers do not have loading docks. Link to post Share on other sites

And as of today they still have neither.<br /><br /><br /><br /> OK! Ya'll have been on here now for MONTHS claiming DELTA has NO part in this lawsuit...Well it appears your OWN Media darling KELLY YAMANOUCHI from the AJC knows that is CRAP. She had a recent article in the AJC that read in part: ...No longer is the opposition limited to a ragtag handful of local residents. Joining the fight are at least four heavy-hitting law firms. So far, those firms combined have filed three lawsuits; submitted open records requests for piles of documents; taken depositions from airport and county officials; and started a website and a nonprofit 501©(4) -- a "social welfare" classification that includes issue advocacy groups... She goes on to say: ...Delta already has been a client for at least three of the four firms, which are known for their corporate and political ties. Several weeks ago, McKenna Long & Aldridge attorney Stefan Passantino formed a nonprofit group called Committee to Protect Paulding County in opposition to the airport's expansion. Listed as CEO of the nonprofit is Chip Lake, a Republican consultant and former adviser to U.S. Rep. Phil Gingery. The CFO is Rick Thompson, political consultant and former director of the state ethics commission... ...On the morning the airport announced its plans to attract airline flights, Delta chief executive Richard Anderson came out swinging. With the city of Atlanta and Mayor Kasim Reed, "we will work together to oppose any investment in that facility," Anderson said. "The investment needs to go into Hartsfield-Jackson."... She then points out how EVEN the DELTA Pilot's Union got involved: ...Delta's pilots union also deployed representatives to a meeting of residents who oppose the commercialization and e-mailed letters urging pilots to contact their elected representatives about their opposition to a second commercial airport in metro Atlanta. "Delta Air Lines is the largest employer in the state, the expansion will raise our cost of doing business, and when Delta sneezes, Georgia gets a cold," the letter from the union to pilots said. Delta pilot Tim Heiple attended the Paulding airport authority meeting Wednesday and said he's concerned it could take away from funding at Hartsfield-Jackson... So it seems this FINALLY shows where the actual $$$$ are coming from to fund the lawsuits and cost the residents and taxpayers of Paulding County unneeded expense to defend. Additionally a HUGE point here is NONE of these folks she list in her article are PAULDING COUNTY RESIDENTS!!! That is important to note and as our County Commissioner David Austin put it: "I would just say, 'Stay out of Paulding,'" Austin said. "Don't cost us any more money in courts and lawyers."
