If all of this was such a glorious idea as you claim. It would appear to me that the 60 acres that propeller leased for MRO operations would be thriving by now Contracted signed October 2012 not the first building built or leased for this type operations Have T hangers that are virtually empty. and a Corporate hanger that was suppose to be finished at least three years ago and is still nor finished or occupied. Where are those jobs??

Deena what we need is for folks to act as grown ups and not jump from one ideology to the other at the drop of the hat. Promises were made and they need to be kept, Just because David Austin has another idea for the airport that does not mean in is suitable for Paulding County. Since the present Industrial Building Authority and the Current members of the airport authority now believe that that a General Aviation is not viable and have quit attempting several years ago trying to make it a viable entity, It seems the most practical thing for then to do would be to resign from their po

Actually I do believe that more people are concerned about the airport than David and his staff thinks they are. people think this last turn out was low, but the record will show that this was a much higher than some of the turn outs under the previous administration. I can assure you that a large majority of the registered voters in post 2,3, and four are aware of the manner in which the airport was handled, and were very much attuned to the issues and a lot of those folks turned out to vote. Heck sound guy I can remember when the Fire tax and the green space bond was passed that to th

And MOJO it has been since November of 2008 since the airport was opened for business and we do not have the first business that has been brought to the airport aerospace park and not the first prospect that I know of No jobs, no income, just Millions in tax dollars down the drain. We sincerely need changes to the IBA and the Airport Authority to get this white elephant off the backs of the tax payers

I think you are wrong, I believe Mike was a participant the story from Ponytail Patriot implies that he was. Do you think Mike was aware of the Bond Attorney doing the IGA agreement free of charge? Was he set up for that? should he of been aware of this? Does anyone know why the IGA agreement was done pro bono for the County?..... We are suppose to be a county of ethics, Does anyone feel that the bond attorney was shook down for this free work in return for a lucrative bond deal?

VERY VERY good post, Very factual and to the point

MoJo413 have you stopped to think that propeller has had the 60 acres under contract since October 2012 (going on three years) and have not brought the first MRO or airport business to that business park., In fact has not done any work on that area

Nope I lived in the City of Atlanta and Riverdale. I am completely aware of what a Commercial Passenger airport brings to an area. I ran from both of them and I hope I do not have to leave Dallas

MoJO 413 This is one of the best comments that I have seen in quite some time..... "You have dismissed my theory totally in the past about the lawyers in Atlanta and Washington are donating their services. We watched the bond attorney representing the county recently admit he prepared the IGA at no cost. What's the difference in what he did and where I expect the money is coming from for the Paulding 6's attorneys" What a great point you have made by posting this comment.... One could conclude that some folks for the County has used their influence in an unethical manner to secure free

thank you I consider that COMPLIMENT coming from you

You forget quickly we compromised already, lets have the finest general aviation airport possible, Just no Passenger service Like Hartsfield Jackson we are opposed to being like the city of Atlanta and Clayton County, And I thought you were also?? You changed your mind??

In what way is the other side a different kind of bad? How involved were you with the other side?

Deena I thought you and Patti at one point was participating with the stop airport expansion group, I could of swore I met you there, Am I wrong??

Not sure what you have heard that I have said about you that may affect your business but I will be man enough to sit down and talk with you and the person that has implied such. Just name the time. Do know however that I will not be a part of the PATTI AND PAT show as you have suggested.

Beach Bum I really like you so....before you get your foot so far down your throat that it will impossible to remove it please take a few moments to have a friendly chat with Mrs Breen, Or maybe David himself of course you could also just ask mike

You have got to be kidding right!!!!! You cannot smooth talk this one over !!!! That is the third Department Head plus Jamie Gilbert that has jumped ship recently. And Mr.Jones was the top ranking one of them all. Beach Bum this ole ship is sinking better grab a life jacket, David Austin and Boyd Austin has ran this ship aground. Heck we now have a Temporary hired to run the water Department and are in the midst of a crucial period on the Reservoir. Can you name me a reason that any Department head had a right to do back ground checks on a citizen, unless they were seeking employment

Pubby I hate it when Paulding County get such negative news also, You been around the county for quite some time and have reported on many corrupt and insidious actions that some of our elected officials have done. One that comes to mind is Sheriff Grogan who was convicted of the crime and served time. You know where a lot of the bodies are buried yet you refuse to participate in the uncovering of the corruption that is occurring in the Airport Authority and The Industrial Building Authority today. WHY??? I recall the days that you would of been all over this story and would hav

A good question to ask is who ordered Mr. Jones to do this?? Surely his superior was aware of this? OH... Who is his boss??

You would think that Pubby with all his Journalistic abilities would be all over this breaking news, Heck this is really news worthy, Less see what Pubby can dig out on this???

Hey Pubby have you talked with David yet to get your talking points on Mike Jones resignation? Is he going to Take over the reservoir program as a private enterprise?

You are so out of step with the Main stream that you actually come across as being silly. Just so you know here are the candidates that I have supported since 2008 David Austin (both elections) Tommie Graham (both Elections? David Barrette (first election) Hedi Leggett 2012 and she lost to Carmichael and Todd Pownall (both elections) Tony Crowe (Past election) Vernon Collette past election All or most are business men and women of this County please point out all those people that I supported that are not business friendly????? Heck I know of no one in the past 15 years that were not busi

The scare innuendo in this thread is not even worth commenting on, I see you and David are still scared of the BOOGEY MAN.

Want to bet on that Pubby?

Tired of BS we do not even have a control tower for him to go in, David Austin, as well his brother Boykin meet one hour per month in a regular scheduled meeting along with Calvin Thompson duding this one hour all of the business of running the airport is Conducted. There is no full time employee for the airport that I am aware of But Blake Swafford does wear two hats and splits time with the Airport authority and the Industrial Building authority That's it folks the IBA meets the same day as the Airport authority for one hour The IBA has around $38,000,000 in bond obligations that the city

Tired of BS I moved here in 1976 from Riverdale to get away from the sprawl of the Hartsfield Jackson Airport I know first hand what a commercial passenger airport does to a city/county I lived it. I supported and campaigned for every candidate on the previous board and on the current board with the exception of Dave Carmichael, Installed signs helped with fund raisers for all of them. As well as voted for the ones that I could I speak above board and expect the same, I really detest a Lair and David Austin is a lair, Therefore I have no use for him, and will call him out every chance I get wh
