  1. Why did they do that? Was the Ingles built before that? Some of the buildings over there do have what looks like a combination of stucco and brick?
  2. To be fair those that want to learn more and get updates there is a FB site.https://www.facebook.com/FlySilverComet
  3. So you think you should have seen some business from the county.
  4. Do they know who you are? I am aware of the issue that new business coming into Paulding is not aware of what already exist and goes outside the county. Jamie and I have discussed building a data base with bio's of existing businesses to resolve this issue.
  5. Really, there are folks that have records of every penny of local taxpayers dollars spent out there. It is time to make it pull it's own weight. I just don't see thousands of people headed to Paulding to get commercial flights all over the country. Can it be viable yes, another Hartsfield, very doubtful. If anything it will probably be travel agency flights to Florida and the Caribbean. Maybe to Vegas or Disney world.
  6. Those that made all the money in the housing market opened the door for poverty row. I am pretty sure that industry was never supported here because a lot of folks did not see anything in it for them. Well paying jobs are going to be a game changer, owners of large manufacturing companies are going to want to be part of the many boards the decide much of what goes on. That will surely throw a wrench in cronyism. The power structure is going to change dramatically, it might be that years of a$$ ki$$ing by some will be wasted. There is more than one way of looking at things. It is not big
  7. There were statements made over and over that secrecy was necessary and why. It does not seem like a lie to me when Delta and Mayor Reed come after you. Of course those that want the airport closed would have loved for it to get out early so that those powers could resolve their problem. They are aware that a lack of secrecy can stop a lot of economic development plans. That is why they are pushing. Again and again there is still no proof of illegal activity. The same ones insinuate wrong doing and there is never proof. They don't like what is going on for various reasons. A handful of n
  8. Your welcome to your opinion, I believe that you will be surprised by the jobs. Your statement about the jobs having already been here makes no since at all. That airport has been on a very tight budget with the county paying as few people as possible while they worked on bringing companies there. The only jobs inside this county, are government, which is still the largest employer which I find disturbing and smattering of higher paid industry and management of the minimum wage industry. Quite frankly the handful will never trust or appreciate anything going on economically. What I do see
  9. The only people that ever show up with an opinion are those that are against the airport. I am still looking for real proof of corruption or unlawful activities. Just because folks are looking does not mean they can find it or it is there. As far as Delta and Reed they are only trading one power for another. The other certainly could not care less about whats good for the people of Paulding. The fact that they are this concerned tells us that this has a good chance of being highly successful.
  10. This is where we are at, we have a few hundred people that will never go along with anything at the airport. They want it closed. It will not close the FAA will take it over and it will be used for whatever they deem suitable. There are another few hundred that don't want any progress here, surely the same folks that turned industry away years ago are not still running the show. Then you have the I hate David Austin and his cronies and I am against anything positive that makes them look good. Then there are the I can't see it personally benefiting me in any way therefore it is no, no,
  11. I can't find that quote or who said it anywhere. The way it is stated is offensive to all the people in this county and reflects terribly on everyone on the airport authority. It is very important to substantiate it word for word.
  12. Look I am not anti airport, anti progress, or even anti folks getting rich. The community should be celebrating this and the progress of economic development. This needs to be fixed.
  13. Your quote has been challenged by someone there. Do you have video to back this up?
  14. I know most of the county officials as do you. At this point they are all being painted with the same brush. I am not sure who made the announcement today that they did not need to hear from the people of this county because they did not need their input, they could do anything they wanted. Quite a few elected officials sit on that board and were not there to face the people. I support economic development and even the decision about Propeller. I don't support what happened today.
  15. Economic development is going well and the airport absolutely is a big plus in the game. I am beginning to worry about companies asking why Paulding citizens cop an attitude towards economic development. Most folks want well paying jobs, they want decent value in their homes, those that are in business for themselves benefit. There really are no negatives. Why are people so negative? We have all new commissioners, we have new blood in the county as far as big players. There is a problem, time to find it and deal with it.
  16. You are absolutely correct, there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. I understand the nuts and bolts of the airport. Why the county is doing what they are doing and most definitely why. I know where some folks stand on the issue, nothing short of the thing bombed and wiped off the face of the earth will do. But the disrespect,the arrogance is fuel on the flames. For the first time I am actually thinking about the karma of the airport and it's history. The successful air show, the prospect of 1000's of well paying jobs should be positive. The majority of people should be pl
  17. All children truly have in this world are their parents, they are defenseless. The only way they can be saved is for an adult to interfere and step in. No parent is perfect, we don't all agree on how to raise children. It never hurts to ask for an investigation if something does not seem right. You would be surprised at the number of relatives that are aware or suspect. I think their obligation is much greater to help these children. It is just so awful to think of this young man so afraid that he did not tell an adult.
  18. I am proud of the fact that Paulding county is not a good place to get caught abusing children. Remember the parents that locked the young man in the bathroom for years and put him on a bus. Their high powered lawyers did them no good. I am pretty sure our DA will make sure this man never sees anything but bars the rest of his life. I just wish we could get them before they damage these children.
  19. I will start reading labels on plastics to see if I can reduce my exposure. I did more research, the studies read much like they did for tobacco,depending on who paid for the studies you have different findings. I found it significant that they stopped making baby bottles out of it. That tells me the manufacturers are seriously worried about lawsuits. Basically the use is so broad that everyone has some exposure. Babies have a harder time breaking it down and they found large amounts in their system. Bottom line it is not harmless and you really have no way of knowing how much is in your s
  20. I imagine these people have some very healthy portfolios since they have been deciding what companies fail and which succeed for many years. When the value of their stocks start being effected we will see it resolved. The rumor is that they have been planning this since early this year. It might be interesting to look and see if they made any investment changes in the last year to stocks that might be safer during the shutdown. If so we might be able to boot them out and replace them, Makes one go HMMMMMMMMM.
  21. This headline caught my attention. We often see studies that show slightly elevated risk than concern us. 80% if true is such a high number nobody should be taking the risk. I am very concerned, I often have a few bottles of water in the car and like everyone else we warm food microwave in plastic bowls. Researchers have suspected for many years that the high rate of sexual organ cancer in men and women is due to chemicals. Basically the body identifies chemicals good and bad and has way of eliminating the things it recognizes through many different ways from sweating to urination. Becaus
  22. The airport was built during the building boom. I don't think people really believed the crash would be as hard or deep. I am not sure that anyone knew that much about economic development at the time. I honestly think the county just limped through a few years until we got it together. It is a good thing that we chose an economic development directer so we did not end up with just anything, not only at the airport but all over the county. My son has been through the same thing, I can tell you it really bothers young people to have to wait so long to enter the work force. With gas at over 3.
  23. Since you need regular visits for a condition I would suggest an HMO if offered. I have one and my office visits are a set rate. I don't have to fill out a deductible to have office visits and prescriptions paid for. If I have to go outside I have to pay until my deductible is met. I like it because it is no surprise. I am with Kaiser so I don't pay for lab work when ordered at the visit. I do have to pay for MRI's though until my deductible is met. It was my choice to do that to keep my premiums lower. If the plan is not affordable for you, check with Wellstar they have some really good pr
  24. Thank you Jamie for taking the time to come to the site and talk to people. You work so hard every day. Your goal is jobs always good jobs for the people here. You have had an uphill battle against negativity here because of politics. Those of us that know you are always uplifted by your positive attitude and of course your accomplishments in such a short time. Years from now we will have a prosperous community for our children to work and raise their children. I will always know who truly made that happen through hard work and a good attitude. Thanks for all you do.
