  1. Glassdogs Here is the deal ,I invite you the Ultra Vires hearing, when ever it is scheduled in the Superior Court of Paulding County, and the other court proceedings that are presently on the docket to be heard in the superior court of Paulding County as it relates to the airport vs The IBA . Let the plaintiffs have their day in court, They have been waiting since December 2013 to have their day in court and the Airport Authority and the IBA have been delaying the cases. I know.... I attended all three hearings to date on this case. Then and only then will the facts be laid out for y
  2. The Paulding County Economic Development( Is this the EDO) you speak about is a government entity and is funded by County tax dollars The Chamber should of always been self sufficient and not received tax dollars IMHO Any entity that has the authority to sign away a $70,000,000 asset for 40 years those folks need to be elected IMHO
  3. I really try to post the truth, backed up with facts at all times. Some folks do not understand the truth when they read it.!!!
  4. Are you okay???? Where have I even mentioned this,??? What in the world are you talking about ????
  5. Rose they did not have any problem with the Paulding County Economic development the Past and present director is from Douglasville, some of the Boars of directors are not from Paulding county. At one point 75% of the Board of Directors of the Chamber was not Paulding residents
  6. You made the implication, not I, the resolution that was passed by the Commission a couple of meetings back was simply a recommendation from the steering committee empaneled at the request of David Austin and David Barnett along with the lame duck commission of 2014. The present language states that a member of the IBA is AUTOMATICALLY a member of the Airport Authority Since you previously worked for both I assumed you knew of language that prevented a non resident from being a member of either . I have read both laws a couple of times and I do not recall that prohibition, Although i
  7. The airport authority at McCollum does not have the final say the Board of Commissioners does, and it should be that way after all they are elected by the citizens and are accountable to them, At the present time the PCAA is accoumtable to no one
  8. I see you do not understand the concept of what a general Aviation airport is HINT HINT, visit some in the area that are successful like maybe Cartersville, Charlie Brown, McCollum, Peachtree Dekalb etc. Then you can discuss this from a educated point of view, and will realize that this is not a broken record
  9. I have probably missed something so I respectfully ask where is it in the Airport Authority or the TBA agreements that state the members must be residents Paulding County.? JSYK the present Board of Commissioners passed the resolution you spoke of above and sent it to the legislature and Howard Maxwell refused to endorse the legislation and it never came to a vote.
  10. I am so sorry that you do not agree with a majority of the residents who just recently voted them into office. Oh I know you and Rose just love those folks who meet behind closed doors and secretly meet in Douglasville and eleven months later have a failed air show paid for by the tax payers and announce that we are going to become a regional hub for Hartsfield Jackson Airport. WOW how open Honest and transparent can 9 folks be?? And who was a party yo this??? Why.... None other than Dave Carmichael, Blake Swafford, David Austin, Boyd Austin Doris Devey, Carolyn Wright, Calvin Thomps
  11. I have no idea I do Know that Blake Swafford is not a Paulding County resident and he is the Airport Director and a leader of Industrial Building Authority. But of course you knew this RIGHT???? Based on the two appointments made last week by David Austin to the IBA and the Airport Authority I would venture to say that neither of them have ever ran a General Aviation airport.
  12. I thought I did. So here goes again... Remove all members of the Airport Authority. Replace with members who have knowledge of how to run a General Aviation Airport. Remove the Airport Director and replace with a employee who has the expertise to run and make successful a General Aviation Airport.. Make no more secret deals!!!! Negotiate a new Intergovernmental Agreement with the Airport Authority that makes the Board of Commissioners responsible for the tax dollars being spent there. (Like McCollum Field) Place the Airport Authority back into the yearly budgeting proc
  13. I am so glad that you posted this Glass Dogs and you are 100% correct. A living breathing example of this is just 35 miles from us. And it is called Hartsfield Jackson International airport I did a article on this a few months ago and even did a presentation on this about the Cities and Counties that surround This massive complex. The information is available on line and was posted on our face book page Stop Paulding County expansion. The facts were that the cities of Morrow, Forest Park, Riverdale, College Park, Hapeville and Jonesboro that surround HJIA had much higher property tax ra
  14. Thanks for your opinion. It is a little warped but it is a opinion. Sorry you did not consider the many things that A well ran General Aviation Airport can provide ? A classic example of a well managed General Aviation Airport that is completely self sufficient is in McCollum field in Cobb County This airport is controlled by the Board Of Commissioners and ran by a airport authority that is experienced in the management of a General Aviation Airport. Name me ONE PERSON ON THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY THAT HAS A CLUE of the proper way to run a General Aviation Airport??? Just one, Inc
  15. Well I thought you were smarter than that,? Having worked for Blake Swafford I thought you would have more insight as to how this commercialization of the airport was all planned out? Oh I forgot Calvin and Blake kept the secrets from everyone right????
  16. It may not be a one issue race but you can bet your bottom dollar that the commercial fights out of the airport is going to be the number one issue in the race. Already you have former commissioner's like Roger Leggett doing a flip flop and now opposing the airport even though he was one of the first to put it on the Ballot along with bill Carruth to buy land to build a airport.in 1999. And the last second entry into the race by Bill Carruth who was the Commission Chairman that supported the special election to buy land to build a airport is expected to change horses and come out op
  17. I have np idea where Robbie even lives, But there are other Candidates in the Race who have no airport signs in their yard, Fact is I suspect all of them will before the race is over with the exception of Carmichael. Of course Carmichael kept this hid from the voters until after the election as Did David Austin.
  18. I stand by the statement that he is the most honest and ethical man in the race., A review of the candidates reveals that I am correct on that issue. David Austin probably has a suit for every day of the month and what did we get with them suits? For many Years the budgeting process has been run by a County Manager going back at least twenty years. Heck go back and look at the previous budget hearings by Austin and you will see that he relied on Tabitha and Jones to provide all the answers to the questions about the budget that he said he prepared during the meetings, and refused to disc
  19. I am not sure what all of his experience is, There was a group of six or seven folks who talked with him at Audry's for lunch. he did say that he would be putting up a web site, probably a face book page pretty soon and explain a lot about him self. I was impressed with his down home openness and sincerity I am not real sure that he still owns the tow truck business. I have been told that he has owned several different businesses and was very successful in all of those. At the present time he has not had a fund raiser and it will take him a little time to get going.. If you are
  20. Thank your husband for his service to this country, I also have friends and family that attended Vandy.....
  21. I think that Robbie Dodson is the most Honest and ethical person in the race. I really believe that he is the only one in the race that would not be a party to secret and unethical meetings. I do believe that Robbie would comply with the open meetings laws of the State of Georgia
  22. There is no way I would vote for Carmichael as he does just what austin wants. Does Robbie Dobson fit that Category ^^^^^^^^ ?
  23. Glassdogs All I am saying is the reason that Dave Carmichael resigned is for something other that to save the County hundreds of thousands of dollars on a special election. Of course a phone call to Ms Holden would confirm what I have said. You must be 100% wrong if both Pubby and Rose Luxemburg likes your post
  24. Of course you can always check with the Supervisor of elections Ms. Deidre Holden if you and Dave are still confused on this issue..... If by chance you do go to the source (like I did) will you please post the response you get from Ms. Holden? The problem that Mr. Carmichael, Beach Bum, E F Hutton, and others could not grasp is that we have more than one STATE wide elections this year March 1 2016 was the Presidential Primary, May 24, 2016 is another primary election state wide, and the General election State wide held in November 2016. Pure and simple fact Mr. Carmichael chose
  25. Deidre who runs the election office will tell you that Carmichael could of stayed on as Post # 1 Commissioner until February 10. 2016 and then resign and the seat could of been filled without a special election. Carmichael got confused and resigned the evening that Deidre discussed it at the BoC meeting. He had until February 10, 2016 to quit...... Ask Deidre!!!! Heck that is on a You tube of the meeting somewhere... It would not surprise me to see him drop out now and Support Bill Carruth.... after all David and Carruth are big buds!!!! Carmichael sure did not have the Tax payers in Min
