Concerned Pldg Resident

<br /><br /><br /> We need to put it on the BALLOT asked EXACTLY like I just stated and see how many say YES!!! This also needs to be PROMOTED / ADVERTISED heavily as we both know the historically low voter turnout PAULDING COUNTY has for ANY election!! I still say we need a direct mail piece sent to EVER Paulding homeowner asking about the airport to see the feedback...this can be done relatively inexpensive in relation to the amount of $$$$ being involved.

<br /><br /><br /> You see you gave yourself away...You didn't just ask the 2 simple questions: Would you like to see Commercial flights at our Paulding County Airport? Would you like to be able to fly our of our Paulding County Airport to destinations such as Myrtle Beach, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans, or Las Vegas? No You had to interject all the misleading lies being spread by the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group! The bottom line to you is NOT if folks want the Airport or IF they want the opportunity for the Airport to succeed...that was not your

<br /><br /><br /> SHHH! That was supposed to be between just you and me "Stradial"...You know one of those mid Sunday afternoon "secret type" meetings!

<br /><br /><br /> Didn't say this is the TYPE business we need to be attracting nor does this type business solve any career type job needs BUT my point was the county IS attracting CREDIBLE national businesses and all three of these WILL fill currently empty spaces which is always good. But just STAY TUNED...you might be VERY surprised and pleased with all three!

<br /><br /><br /> Well if you are that naive that you actually have to have them shown to you, you need to stay away from any daily activity that involves more than getting out of bed and walking around the house. To start with you have the ones listed on the FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT filed against the county to STOP ALL PROGRESS at the Airport. Then you have their "sheep" who are blindly listening to their lies and following them everywhere waving signs and wearing their clown shirts just to get in front of a camera! You then have the handful who come on here and pontificate and

<br /><br /><br /> "tundra"...I have told you SEVERAL times before that we agree completely about the Chamber issue, I have the same problem and COMMENT to them as I did for "rockster"...Let Paulding County folks handle Paulding County matters!

<br /><br /><br /> Interesting "NON-FACTS" you are posting but I can tell you FOR A FACT that a VERY credible business is about to move into the old K-MART space in HIram and 2 National restaurants (that have already secured their locations)are coming to Paulding. Also as the new hospital opens shortly keep an eye out on the land across from it, I have heard some VERY interesting information about it. But that's OK you keep worrying about who didn't call who before they made a decision and you keep using words like SECRET MEETINGS instead of Confidential Business Meeti

<br /><br /><br /> I not only have looked at GOOGLE but also BING and several other sources...YOU CAN BARELY FIND a handful of houses that are in the DIRECT flight path of the runway. To get the numbers the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group are claiming are effected you would have to draw a circle that reaches almost Rockmart in the West and half way to HIRAM in the EAST!!!

<br /><br /><br /> "Everyone I have talked to so far thinks this is the stupidest idea that has happened here and thinks the airport should just go away now." Then it is OBVIOUS that you need to expand your circle of folks you talk with BEYOND the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group...In a County of over 155,000 that little cluster of negative malcontents are meaningless!!! The Airport is ALREADY here, the growth and expansion is ALREADY underway and ya'll really need to look past what was said 10 years ago and realize this.

I did not realize until you made this post that you are NOT a PAULDING COUNTY resident... that being said YOU are in the same boat as DELTA... YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS sticking your nose into PAULDING COUNTY matters!!!

The SUBDIVISIONS you continue to reference ARE NOT in ANY direct path of the RUNWAY... they are not EVEN INDIRECTLY AFFECTED much less DIRECTLY IMPACTED!!!

PUBBY, they are "MIRED" in something alright but the way it smells it isn't DETAILS!!!

<br /><br /><br /> By the way...We have not seen ANY comments about the BIG donuts and coffee...aka the "Blue Shirt Comedy Tour"...you guys recently put on...No pictures of the crowd trying to get in. I'm sure you had folks lined up out onto 278 But you know I never heard a whisper on WSB or your AJC gal must have also missed it.

<br /><br /><br /> Just re-watch EVERY "speech" he has made since the beginning...He has to be using the SAME set of notes...You did this in secret, someone said this to someone back in 2004, It was never brought up for a vote, It was supposed to only be a General Aviation Airport, How many more millions will be spent?, and he ALWAYS runs out of time...READ this real slow...YOU GET 5 MINUTES...!!!

<br /><br /><br /> I think it is because you have given the APPEARANCE at least that you are "on board" with the ANTI-AIRPORT / ANTI-GROWTH IN PAULDING group. You always jump right in and take their side in virtually every argument on here and certainly voice your borderline hatred towards our County leaders. The issue as I see it is...regardless of what was said back in 2004 or whenever...is that the Airport is HERE, it is certainly not going anywhere (even though Todd made the ridiculous comment at the BOC yesterday to forget the work and cover it over with dirt) and we

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />AGAIN...You have NOTHING positive to say just rhetoric!!!<br /><br /> But two better quotes are: For you and the rest of the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group: Forrest Gump: My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on. and JUST FOR YOU: Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does!

<br /><br /><br /> I never SAID I HAD any other information other than what is showing in the PATCH article...however I DO KNOW that a permit WAS applied for I verified that with the City of Hiram AND a good number of others have ALSO contacted the City in regards to the PATCH article. Whether he opens the thing or not is between him and the City of Hiram...YOU are the one BLOWING this out of proportion... I only stated WHAT was in the article and gave you a reference to confirm it...YOU are the one calling out folks without all the facts...BUT that is SO like your GRO

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> I suggest you read the articles in the Dallas / Hiram PATCH before you make stupid comments! Here is the info as published in Dallas / Hiram PATCH... Zoning application for Special Use Permit - City of Hiram Posted by Lee Elliot , February 09, 2014 at 02:18 PM SPECIAL USE PERMIT #2014-01-SUP 362 DUNCAN CIRCLE, HIRAM, GEORGIA

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> By the way...would have liked to have heard the rest of what you had to say yesterday...you should have condensed it to the 5 minutes allowed. I understand Tony Crowe is going to run against David Barnett for his post seat and of course Todd is brokering to keep his seat by attacking the other commissioners and cozying(?) up to your group...However I am hearing a rumor that someone we all know with good county name recognition is considering a run against Todd and I feel Tommy Graham is safe in his seat so at best you are looki

<br /><br /><br /> My comments, my post, my reason for coming on here to post initially HAVE NOT CHANGED. I wanted to offer a counter opinion to the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING folks who were trying to make it appear they are some kind of a majority in Paulding (a county of over 155,000+). That HAS NOT CHANGED! I do not live in any kind of FANTASY world and take this AIRPORT matter VERY SERIOUS...Many of your group come on here and do nothing more than ATTACK other posters, our County Leadership, and EVERY bit of progress that is suggested or begun in our County.

<br /><br /><br /> Ok so I see you are REALLY trying to divert the conversation away from the Airport and to this DUMP facility... The School you reference near the Airport is in NO WAY affected by anything other than possibly hearing the occasional plane takeoff, while Hiram Elementary is in the BACKYARD of the DUMP site and could be subjected to burning waste fumes and smoke, DAILY noise from trucks unloading and driving near or even by the school, and certainly the potential for waste water drainage from the site. All this is referenced in detail in the PATCH articl

<br /><br /><br /> LOL! A Grammatical correction...Is that REALLY the best you can come back with...LOL! ACCEPT...EXCEPT...TAKING IT IN...LETTING EM' DUMP!!! You GOT MY POINT!

<br /><br /><br /> Wrong again...not in my area...BUT as I read the PATCH article and look at a GOOGLE map you can plainly see several of the Silver Comet Trail Heads near the site, Hiram Elementary is in it''s backyard, At least 3 different Day Cares and the Hiram Ruritan Park! While this may be the cleanest recycle facility ever built the PATCH article states the POTENTIAL for Hazardous material... Again, my point was the Airport is PROGRESS and this type business is not...

<br /><br /><br /> So EVEN when I give you the SOURCE for my comment / post you can't bring yopurself to say you were wrong...You PLAINLY said I lied in my post yet I SHOWED you EXACTLY where I got the information from and it seems plain enough what they are wanting to do. In no way did I "Slam" the company but I would say the PATCH article sure PLAINLY states what is going on... and the reason I posted this on this thread is because I was using it as a comparision of the type business that COULD locate where the Airport is...many other examples are available. As to t

<br /><br /><br /> ACTUALLY it's the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group that doesn't want the construction at the Airport...The informed residents of Paulding realize the tremendous benefits to having the AIrport and support this issue.
