Patti will have her day I am quite sure of that, You see thanks to the law suits that have been filed that you rant and rave about daily one has been settled, The settlement may even be explained tonight I have no idea if it will or will not be discussed. But it has allowed Patti the opportunity to speak with Government regulators and actually have them evaluate the loss in property value she has incurred.. Oh and did I mention that it also stopped the Airport Authority from doing any further work until the FAA does its environmental Assessment.... you see Patti has a Valid claim that only t

I sure would enjoy your company, and would very much like to meet and talk with you face to face, Heck bring your camera and we can have a one on one face to face. With your great knowledge of the airport and the proper way to run a airport I am quite sure that we would be able to give the airport Board some suggestions as to how to create more than three jobs for $67,000,000. Oh... do bring along your handlers Pubby And David I am sure we could enlightened them a bit. Who knows.. you may even get to meet Patti face to face and tell her in a interview some of the things you spewed on here.

I think the first place to look and see why the airport is floundering so bad (your words not mine) is to look at the leadership on the Board the Elected folks on the Board are David Austin, Boykin Austin, Doris Devey And of Course Commissioner Carmichael who I believe served for eight years on the airport authority. And not currently serving except for being the go to guy for the airport authority. Have you ever sat down and asked them to explain why the General Aviation concept is a complete failure after spending $34 million tax dollars? you see two of those have been on the airport bo

Thank you so much this is very helpful and will save me hours of research that some of the posters have put me through.

well we do know that David and his brother passed a secret resolution in October and November 2012 that has got us in the mess at the airport and kept it secret until Oct 2013, And had a secret off site in June 2013 to plan 139 certification, and now a secret house bill to seize all power of the IBA that his brother Chairs and he sits on, We do know that he talked with Howard Maxwell about the resolution between January 25,2014 and February 6 2014 and bingo we have a new house resolution before the committees even knew about it..... Not that is what I would term being a secret dictator. I tho

Where would you go on this web site to see the status of where it is http://www.house.ga.gov/clerk/en-US/HouseCalendars.aspx

I respect all the speakers that spoke at the meetings both pro and con. I particularly enjoyed the Comments that Todd Pownall made at the evening session, he was very respectful, concise and to the point and was able to convince the other three commissioners not to adopt a resolution that chairman Austin had placed on the agenda...... I suspect they saw a SECRET AGENDA on the Chairman's part, At least that was my impression? Secret/confidential agendas seems to be his forte, Have you ever noticed that he hardly ever discusses items out in the public view at these meetings, But rather asks tha

Where have I said it was a done deal, I believe it will be a done deal once the Commissioners vote on the issue and request it to be passed. I do absolutely believe that David Austin was a party to that language, which is very similar to what he voted for with the IBA resolution ,You do recall me saying yesterday that there are three resolutions out there and he said he supported all three, If I had the FOIA I would of also asked about that one. I do not recall that I have been disrespectful to Howard Maxwell, Please show me where I have been disrespectful. Pubby you have the oppo

Very good try ... But no cigar shame on you for not talking about what Todd really said... Remember over and over Todd saying to Mr Austin that He Had talked with Howard Maxwell and he told Mr. Austin that it would have been a done deal if the Snow had not shut down the Government.... I can't believe you did not hear that on 2/14/2014 afternoon commission session..Todd was speaking to Mr Austin Heck put the tape back up or go to our Face book page and you can view that. PUBBY you are way out of bounds too much video tape out there to spin David out of this do you remember what Blake Swaffor

I don't think Delta had anything to do with the misinformation that was stated in yesterdays morning work session. Of course you were aware of the comments that proponents of the resolution made during the morning session Yea merely Clarifying, Has nothing to do with the law suit ETC ETC. You may try and blame this debacle on any or every thing else but the plain and simple facts are inescapable LIES were told over a course of four different meeting of which all were taped in their entirety, Some by you and all by a concerned citizen of the anti airport expansion group 4 of the five comm

And you sir are not the first person he has went to a persons job about and probably won't be the last. David should be ashamed.... But power hungry folks do things rational folks would not do. These out of control politicians need to realize they work for us. And the days of these secret closed door deals are some thing that the citizens are not going to accept. A lot of County employees are afraid to speak up. Oh and his brother has also been known to contact a persons employer, Seems it runs in power hungry families

Were you not ashamed of the lies that were exposed?

David Austin took office two months after the airport was finished in November 2008,at a cost of $34 million Dollars,He assumed the job of making the General Aviation airport work on January 1,2009 Since that date David Austin The PCAA AND the IBA have spent about another $33,000,000 and the airport is a total failure having only created 1 airport related job. And are now proposing to spend another $38,000,000 with no business plan to create any jobs in place. Time to cut the losses, Stop throwing tax dollars into this bottomless pit. Neither David Austin , the Airport authority or the IBA

Lppt If you will listen to the morning session you will realize that all the commissioners were lied to in that session about what actually was being proposed, Come to find out it was already proposed and sent to Howard Maxwell On February 6, 2014. Blake Swafford stated in the previous meeting 2/14/2014 that it had not been voted on by the IBA But will be brought up for discussion at their next meeting on 2/19/2014 A resolution was brought up and voted on that day by the Airport Board and the Industrial Building Authority. Counsel was present for both of those meetings on 2/19/2014…ho

If folks are not outraged over this massive power they should be. Come on commissioners wake up and see what is happening around you. It is past time to put a stop to the Austin Brothers POWER GRAB!!!! We do not want to spend another $67,000,000 dollars for three jobs and a airport to no where!!!!

A little ironic that David mentioned the composition of the Board in todays meeting... are you two conniving ? I do not believe any FAMILY should have this much overwhelming power in a little county like ours, Heck they have almost total control of the purse strings, And Our tax dollars DAVID AUSTIN

None of them have a clue how to Build or run a airport they have spent $67,000,000 and have created 3 jobs and have now proposed to spend another $38 million and no plan in place to create one job. Remove all of them, Hire someone that knows how to run a General Aviation airport and cancel all commercial flights. Save the $38 million for widening Highway 92

Motion to table the resolution by David Barnett and second by Todd Pownall motion passed by a 4 to 1 margin. The Board of commissioners will not be able to forward a resolution to the general assembly from the leaders of this county in a timely manner. You Tube will be on the Stop Paulding airport expansion face book page tonight, And Tundra will have it available tomorrow on Protect Paulding County tomorrow. Pubby was there and should have his up soon Will have complete details at the community meeting Thursday at Bethany Christian Church 7;00 pm come see what is going on with the ai

You are 100% correct, Just another travesty of justice.

It means the IBA will have the unlimited ability to do anything it wants to, any time it wants to, any way it wants to any place it wants to Using Any amount of tax dollars that it so desires, and the right to take a persons property to do so. And you have no say so because they are not a elected body.

Hey Pubby I just had a great idea..... Do away with the IBA and let the Commissioners deal with the job creations project, that way if they spend $67,00,000 and only create 3 jobs we could fire them at election time????

Since you are getting in on the tail end.... This resolution is going to be sent to Howard Maxwell( House Rep. District 17) as soon as it is passed by the BOC to be passed by the legislature. It really does mean a lot. I think the law suit on this matter should be heard before any proposed changes are made, Fact is the IBA should be eliminated.

Hey Pubby is something wrong with allowing the superior court to perform their duties before we go monkeying around with changing a law that was created by a constitutional Amendment, That required ratification by the citizens of this county. Surely the citizens of this county are more important than a committee that has a strangle hold on our tax digest, that is totally out of control, and of consist three people that are not elected by the citizens, Some of which are not even residents of Paulding County. Hey I got a novel idea lets propose that all of those serving on these authorit

You probably need to contact your handler over in the commissioners office before you make any further comments!!!

The board of Commissioners will be meeting tomorrow at 10:00 am and again at 7:00 pm in the administration building 2nd floor. The commissioners will be discussing a proposal to change a Constitutional amendment that was first created in 1962 and was ratified by the citizens of Paulding County. “Discuss action to adopt Resolution 14-05 Supporting the introduction of local legislation to further define and prescribe the powers and duties of the Paulding County Industrial Building Authority and for other purposes.” A review of the proposed legislation reveals that the Industrial Buildi
