  1. Pubby I have compiled for you a little post that really highlights where we were and where we went beginning in 2004 and ending in 2013 To be quite frank there are many things about this airport deal that I do not understand, Of course when things are done and there are no minutes issued until months later I suppose it was not meant for the lay person to understand. This much I do understand in 2004 when the General Aviation Airport was first announced YOU produced a video where YOU proudly announced that we were going to get a General Aviation Airport and the cost was going to be $24 m
  2. I thought the study was dealing with the property that is adjacent to the BOE building on Atlanta Road that goes all the way to 278? Was this property not the original parcel of land where the citizens voted down a previous convention center?
  3. As distasteful as it was I can handle the implication that I was a hick in another one of your post. As a Grand father of a special needs Grand son I find your "politically incorrect humor" very distasteful and completely uncalled for. Could we possibly meet somewhere and have a cup of coffee and have some further discussion on this topic?
  4. Sound guy You know better than that, I was really opposed to the fire tax levy because the levy gave the commission Chairman the right to raise the millage rates up to 5 mils without having public hearings on the issue. I have always felt that if there was a need for a tax increase then the Commission should hold public hearings on the issue. For example David Austin Raised the fire tax levy 2 mils a few years back and no one ever knew it until they got the tax bills. Seems like I remember that after a lot of discussion here on p.COM you came out and supported the fire tax levy, Does th
  5. I really had no idea about the seedy side of Hapeville that you portray. How did you know? The part of Hapeville that I frequented was the area across from the old Ford plant. Use to go to the Dwarf House the home of the now famous Chik Fil Lay yep MOO MOO MOO nation wide now. On a side note though the City Of Atlanta does own 10,000 acres of land adjacent to our airport and they are well known for their strip clubs, and other crime riddled enterprises.
  6. You really owe an apology to every person on this board that have kids/grand kids/great grand kids that have special ed needs. You have really crossed a line with me that is unacceptable.
  7. It could possibly have to do with what politician has some land available in the proposed area? Or it could be that they just want to waste some more tax dollars. Oh I know what it is Tommie Graham needs a five star hotel for all the movie stars that is using the new movie studio.
  8. Only David Austin and the Commission has the authority to spend your tax dollars on these Law suits. I wish he would quit spending tax dollars on things the citizens do not want. Lets have a Town Hall Meeting
  9. Your group has done a excellent job of confusing the issue. It does not matter who is providing the money, What matters is was everything done by the Paulding County Airport Authority done according to the laws of the State of Georgia. Surely you do not condone the AA doing something illegal in order to get commercial passenger service? Or do you?
  10. Figure actually came from a letter that Paul Callahan wrote to Barbour. Nothing the opposition group made up
  11. About the furthest you can get from the airport and still live in Clayton County Probably the nicest town in Clayton County I also lived there for a period of time
  12. I believe it was for $14 million. And no it was on a ballot by itself in 2006. I recall the school bond was on a special ballot in September or October 2006 when they tried and slipped that through. Hell BB can tell you she was supporting the $125 million dollar school bond in the second try in March 2007 Wow how time flies we were promised the green space would be used/developed to provide hiking trails bike trails camping etc over 7 years ago and the only thing we have done is cut the timber.... Wonder why the $3 million being spent on the new park at the Taj Mahal was not used f
  13. There is no doubt in my mind what the plans are... You keep forgetting I lived in the city of Atlanta and Clayton County and I saw first hand what a airport can do to a city and a county. Heck take a tour of the cities that surround HJ see for yourself. You certainly do not have the authority to limit the growth around our airport nor do you have the authority to speak for those that do
  14. I believe CPR has a 9 to 5 job on this issue
  15. Green space Bond June /July 2006/2007 and they held a town hall type meeting and Phil Gingrey attended along with Jerry Shearin and Wayne Kirby at Paulding Meadows now BS Oh and I believe GONE was there also
  16. Stephen Thank you for offering to facilitate a meeting between the parties, You are to be commended for your efforts to allow the citizens of this County a opportunity to hear and discuss both sides of the airport issue. I have no official capacity with the group that is actively opposing the airport but here is a link that you may use to contact them http://www.savepauldingco.com/blog I do have a couple of suggestions though First I suggest that in order that all citizens can be heard the questions be asked orally/and or written, and the pro and con have alternating questions. Secon
  17. Concerned Pldg Resident I guess the difference between you and myself is I put a lot of trust into what a person tells me, I know that you and Pubby believe that a campaign promise is something that is not a big deal. But I do listen to what is being said on the campaign trail and if things are being promised that affect my family and myself then I pay close attention to what that politician is saying. In 2008 and in 2012 I voted for David Austin and I went out through this County and put up signs and took down signs for David Austin. I also drove all over the town with a large sign in the
  18. Pubby that is BS but we shall wait and see. CPR how is that for being short and to the point
  19. CPR I have never seen two people like you and Pubby attack ordinary citizens like ya'll have Over the protest of the airport expansion. Are you getting paid to do this? Or better yet are you the one working in the Commissioners office monitoring P.com and responding? The kind of ATTACK campaign your group has initiated does a HUGE disservice to the citizens who are striving to maintain a community that has excellent sheriff's department, with a excellent school system, and nice quite neighborhoods and a lot of local businesses who are really prospering. I just do not understand why you
  20. ME THINK YOUR MATH SUCKS Care to explain
  21. Neither you or nor Concerned PLDG Resident have a clue how many passengers per day or year will be using our airport. You only know what has been force fed to you By the Austin boys and the PCAA and the IBA. Open your eyes Hartsfield Jackson started as a race track, Progressed to dirt runway and then to a single runway that was shorter than our runway and now into the world's busiest. We are now well on the road to becoming the Second Airport for the City of Atlanta. If By Chance the passenger service at PCAA is not stopped there is nothing else to stop our airport from becoming just like H
