Found this on the Stop Paulding County Airport Expansion face book page, Seems that the group is running a series of videos showing the intent to cover up and hide the misinformation that was put out by the Airport Authority through the Chamber and other outlets Do note that the original proposed cost for the airport was $25 Million We are now nearing $75 million and growing every day Can the county really afford this and all the attorney fees? Chamber Airport report from 2004 Original of 2004 news report where the plans for the airport was presented to the Chamber of Commerce. This video

That is not so Pubby and you know it, The law suit for violation of the open meetings violation is ready to be heard and the and is not being held up by the anti airport group. There are still two cases ready to be heard all the depositions are over just tell David we are ready when he is.

From November of 2012 until October 2013 David Austin, Boykin Austin, Doris Devey, Carolyn Wright, Calvin Thompson, and Blake Swafford and the rest of the Airport Authority kept the commercialization of the airport a secret from ALL THE CITIZENS of Paulding County. Folks who were not open honest and transparent in the dealings of the airport need to be removed from serving on the Airport authority at the very next Board of Commissioners meeting

Some more false advertising Silver Comet Field - Myth vs. Fact by admin Dec 12, 2013 0 comments Myth: The Paulding County Board of Commissioners dealt in secret to push this airport deal through. Fact: The deal to bring commercial air travel and other services to Paulding followed the standard process for these types of business developments. Many aspects of the development process were discussed openly at public meetings of the Paulding County Airport Authority over the past year. These meetings were attended by members of the community and, occasionally, the local media. The real

Has anyone found out who is paying for these aids?

MOJO I have been thinking about the time line of events that have occurred with David Austin and you may want to add another date, that, to me is a significant event that indicates the first time that David Austin was not being open honest and transparent in his dealings with the folks that supported him and voted for him. I am sure you will recall primary election night 2012 ? I was at the campaign headquarters of David Austin on election night and was questioned as to why I did not attend the public hearing held that day immediately after the polls had closed pertaining to the propos

Here is the video of the meeting in which the airport was voted on to provide commercial passenger service, The voice you hear making the motion is Boyd Austin, I researched prior minutes and did not find any other mention of this any where. This is not a long video less than 2 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FPPK8ukmPjM

Pubby They did what every county commission has done since day 1, To say that all of the previous commissioners were not open honest and transparent is really a ssssssssssssssssssstretch of your imagination, surely you are not saying that? There was more discussion on those items that was brought up and voted on Tuesday than I can remember in quite a while. Just because they failed to utilize a key element of your campaign does not make it not open honest or transparent Austin and Carmichael should not take any of this personal the new commissioners are simply doing what the voter

Pubby there is no difference in the way Todd handled this resolution than the way David Austin handled the intergovernmental agreement that was passed last month, what is the big gripe ? the Airport authority and the IBA passed a resolution to have Howard Maxwell introduce new legislation to make major changes in the IBA and the PCAA and was passed by the PCAA and was not on the agenda at all. This was brought to the attention of Tom Cable and he merely had it added as a afterthought. after it was already voted on and passed. To think that David Carmichael, Tommie Graham, And David B

I do not think that CPR understands Roberts Rule Of Order. there is a agenda item of old business and new business Todd added these agenda items under new business which is simply one way to add a item to be discussed. Todd also asked the Chairman if he wanted to take a few minutes to read over the new agenda items, and he replied no. There was a good open discussion on the new agenda items.in front of the cameras and those that attended

I guess my post is unclear. I agree the airport is here, It is not going to go away. I do not ever recall saying the airport should go away. The entire group as far as I know is for a general aviation airport complete with hangars, MRO operations and other type business that is compatible with the airport operations, I will always maintain that since the airport was built , maintained, and ran using tax dollars then the Elected officials should have the final say so as to how it will be ran David Austin and the previous commission took this away and implemented a intergovernmental

I am so glad that Todd, Tony and Vernon stood up for the citizens of Paulding County

CPR I really think the election will move us forward. I had a brain storm for you to mull over next meeting the commissioners should pass a resolution that they are no longer a sponsor of the Paulding County Airport, and should cease paying any tax dollars to the Airport Authority and the Industrial Building Authority. The lame duck commission passed a Inter governmental agreement, which does not allow the commission to have any say so of the day to day operations of the airport. This agreement needs to be amended to include no more tax dollars will be spent on the airport. Th

Pubby You forget the three commissioners ran a campaign based of stopping commercial passenger service openly without backing down. THEY WON..... YOU LOST. They are doing exactly what they campaigned to do. It is very refreshing to me to see politicians actually do what they campaigned to do.

Do a screen grab and post the comments here

I would love for you to post mine over there Now that is funny rotfalmao

Here is another screen grab from the support airport face book page 7 · 1 hr Remove Carolyn S. Wright The future of Paulding County is a responsibility of all. I encourage everyone that believes in bringing jobs to Paulding, balancing our tax base and stopping a few that is against quality growth for Paulding to come and support two devoted Commissioners, Dave Carmichael and Chairman Austin. Hey Carolyn we have five devoted commissioners in Paulding County, They are all for bringing jobs to Paulding County, The difference is they do not want to blow Millions on another pipe dream

This is a copy of the article that was posted on the support face book page, I was unable to answer them on their face book page because I was blocked months ago so I decided to respond this way.Support Silver Comet Field at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport 49 mins · Edited · ***URGENT*** Yesterday the newly elected Paulding County Commissioners Pownall, Collette, and Crowe hijacked the morning work session by introducing three unannounced items they wanted voted on immediately. Commissioner Pownall even admitted he knew he was breaking protocol and would take heat for his actions. The

sometimes folks try to intimidate the wrong persons

I know of no contract with the county, The contracts are with the defunct Paulding County airport Authority

I have to believe that in two years we can replace the other two commissioners, David Carmichael and David Austin, That surely is something to consider,. Not going to continue much longer the citizens are getting restless about spending tax dollars for attorney fees. The airport authority has to pay their on way now since the last lame duck commissioners gave them the airport. Not sure how they can sue the county we only own the 163 acres that spans part of the runway on the eastern side. July of this year when the budget is drawn up is when the chit hits the fan.

I new you would misunderstand, I really do not believe that the tax payers of this county will agree to pay higher taxes just to see the alleged two flights per week , nor do I think the citizens of this County agree with your analogy of what you contend my last post means. You really need to put forth more efforts in your posts......A good place to start is to be open, Honest , and transparent in your post You ran a campaign as a supporter of the airport and you were very soundly defeated, In fact it was the largest landside obtained in that election cycle you lost the anti airport c

I thought you had been converted and wanted to join the Airport group...... here is the facts Todd Pownall , Vernon Collett and Tony Crowe have a handful of cards to play and will be playing them pretty soon. Do know that this group got elected with all three of them getting landslide victories in their respective post and all ran opposed to the commercial passenger service. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES a majority of the commissioners oppose commercial passenger service, Just like David and Boyd Austin were at one point opposed to a airport period.. If you think this is over now
