IT SURE DID!!! Subdivision after subdivision!! Putting strains on everything from the schools to infrastructure...What didn't grow? The business needed to offset the cost associated with this growth and now homeowners are saddled with OVER 83% of the tax cost! We HAVE to get business growth in this county now to bring this number down or the SHIP WILL SINK! Why folks can't see this is UNBELIEVABLE!!! THE FUTURE OF PAULDING COUNTY!!!

Well Steven...THANK YOU for trying but you really NEVER HAD any chance with the opposition group...their mind is BEYOND made up! It has to be their way or NO WAY! They are using the lawsuit as an excuse as to why they can't have an open discussion in a moderated format as you suggested but that's just how they play the game! THE FUTURE OF PAULDING COUNTY!!!!

BETTER EVERY DAY!!! Thank You! I spoke with someone just yesterday who works for one of the media outlets that has been reporting about the airport...They told me in the last 2 weeks that have been receiving dozens of e-mails from Business owners and Paulding residents SUPPORTING the Airport. They are working on a NEW report to air shortly showing the POSITIVE side of the Airport, it will include info regarding the outside funding of the lawsuit as well as how little the Airport actually will effect homeowners in the area. It will be VERY INTERESTING to get your groups take on this!

Look...I didn't mean to be blunt BUT we all have to be REALISTIC...and I disagree with you that the cul de sac in the subdivision that keeps getting referenced as "being in the flight path" was here prior to the Airport property being bought in the 70's...We both know it wasn't! ANYTIME an area grows or gets developed you have homes affected...look at the Bypass currently being finished from 278 around to where the new hospital is at...I go back as far as when that was ole' Egg Farm Rd. (a dirt road)...Were houses affected, and bought out then? Of Course they were...Hwy 92 is going to (even

Don't get me wrong...You MAY be right on that as neither of us know what demand will bring and I hope the Million is a LOW estimate! The MORE flights the MORE success the Airport has and then we get to those several thousand jobs being discussed quicker...BUT we both know (however you will never admit it) that this number is going to be years down the road... "You pretend to be so smart and so well informed" I assure you I am very informed and my post will always be as accurate as possible, if I find an error, a misquote, or inaccurate information I will immediately remove

MOVING PAULDING FORWARD!

Whatever...All the while they look under this rug and turn over that rock and open yet another closet...The Airport is chuggin' along towards completion, will shortly receive the FAA environmental approval, and by mid 2014 be OPEN FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS!!! MOVING PAULDING FORWARD!!

Yeah and I wonder (WINK WINK) who is paying for the LAWSUIT!

OK Now I understand you want a meeting where the location is crammed with folks who try and talk over each other, don't give the AA or Commissioners time to answer and basically waste everyone's time. Betting that doesn't happen this time around. But you should maybe PM S.Lang about his offer.

DOUGLAS COUNTY sees the opportunity and need and they are stepping up to bat for theirs!

Again...READ his post, he had the entire thing structured, moderated and timed to be fair to both sides. It was thrown back at him as a NO! A lot more to it than...Open the doors and meet!

DID you NOT read his post?...He contacted the FB page opposition group and THEY threw it back in his face, they want NO PART OF IT! He's not interested (and I wouldn't be either in his shoes) of attending a meet somewhere with 25 or 30 folks that are already decided against progress in the county and none of the county officials attending. BOTH sides are going to have to agree to meet in a neutral location with a forum as he suggested being moderated...that seems to have scared the FB group...

How about Paulding County KEEPING it's business and attracting Douglas County business! It's past time being the looked at as a county that's BAD for business. With the last phase of the parkway set to open, the Hospital opening in April and the Airport expansion finishing up for a mid 2014 opening...it's time to step up to the plate and purchase the land and break ground on the new Paulding County Event Center. THE FUTURE OF PAULDING COUNTY!!

You were one of the MORE vocal screaming for "town hall style" meetings...now this gentleman comes forward, volunteers his time and it gets THROWN BACK IN HIS FACE by your group (or at least folks of your convictions)...

I think you now see the problem with this issue...The group of 5 or 6 involved in the lawsuit and that started the FB page like to be VERY vocal on sites like this and FB where they DO NOT have to be out front with OPEN discussion. They can simply ignore the ACTUAL facts and DO NOT want to be subjected to a room full of either supporters for the Airport or folks that are undecided and might be swayed by answers they hear at an open debate format. Your attempt to structure and coordinate this is much appreciated and I agree that if the folks from the FB site and the lawsuit aren't present and

Can we agree that North Korea can KEEP this "Panda"...

"So basically what you're saying is if we can't expect to get anything out of the debate, discussion, and lawsuit/settlement, then we should just shut up and let Those Who Know Better govern as they please? How very North Korea." NO! What I am saying is we should let the folks we elected to do the jobs DO THEM!!! Oh! and as far as North Korea...YOU have the ASIAN PANDA as pic not me! THE FUTURE OF PAULDING COUNTY!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! COMICAL!! EGOTISTICAL!!! FIRST and most important is 5 or 6 folks DO NOT SPEAK FOR AN ENTIRE COUNTY! "Maybe you have figured out that your commercial airport is not wanted in this county." It is NOT HIS commercial airport it is PAULDING COUNTIES AIRPORT! " First you are just going to have multiple lawsuits to fight, plus most of the people here don't want this and will boycott any airlines you get here." He realizes the 5 or 6 involved in the recently settled lawsuit DO NOT REPRESENT the county of over 150,000+ "There will be letters sent to any airline

Ya'll KEEP trying to muddy the issue by bringing the reservoir, the film studio, the courthouse, the new park, "Surepip's" lawsuit, probably some others I missed....VALID ISSUES ALL to discuss but in another time and topic...THIS IS SERIOUS and concerns Paulding now and for years to come, Paulding either goes stalls and moves backwards in terms of business growth because of your group OR we all take a deep breath and realize...PAULDING already has an Airport and additional growth to it WILL happen! This is good for the county, the business community in the county as well as the residents (thr

There is NO attack from me in ANY of my post (perceived or otherwise) against Todd...I have mentioned him (along with the other commissioners) in post and will continue to as long as he remains a commissioner. I have personal opinions (as do you and the others) and have every right to express them. Do I think he was left out of SOME of the negotiations regarding the airport...Probably Do I think he was aware that the Airport was being discussed and that the other commissioners as well as others were involved in negotiations over SOMETHING regarding the Airport...YES...But as to specifics a

Just giving ya'll some more RIDICULOUS lies to start spreading! The Publisher fellow called it: "Facetious"...to help some of ya'll out that means treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor!

I know...I know...I TRY to give folks credit for having "COMMON SENSE" but the replies to some of my post leave me wondering so I thought I would ingest a bit the "absolutely NO WAY" into the post!

It's those BIG OLE' Super Jumbo's we are fixin' to start landing at the New Silver Comet International Field...I betcha' Avis, Dollar, Enterprise, National and others are "Wining and Dining" the Commissioners right now (except Todd of course, his invite got lost in the mail) trying to get the premium spots for all that business! You know come to think of it...That's it! Kaseem Reed and the City of Atlanta sees all those $$ they been getting from food concessionaires at HJ disappearing as they start bidding for the new FOOD COURT coming soon!

I have NO IDEA what this link is supposed to be in reference to!

SIMPLE...It's a waste of time! FIRST OFF...Nothing I (or anyone else) could say is going to change your mind, and secondly I have no intentions of letting my business get drug thru the mud on here because of my personal beliefs! There is a FOR SALE sign located on the property that is fairly recent...A call to the Real Estate Company could possibly get a bit of info if asked properly.
