BB started it the others finished it. I respect you for having your say and your support of the airport that is your right. I do hope you will listen to both sides. We are going to have a public hearing and you will have a opportunity to voice your opinion. Of course you can voice your opinion here also. You do know the airport is not just sitting there it is being used as a General Aviation airport and that was the sole purpose of building it. I am sure you recall that?

Here is the real news for today. Again a small group of six Paulding county citizens have again challenged the Chairman of the BoC David Austin, Mayor Boyd Austin. Mayor Doris Devy, executive Director Blake Swafford And President and CEO of the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce Carolyn Wright. These five individuals Hold Positions on the Airport Authority and the Industrial Building Authority. Details as follows ATLANTA, GA, December 30, 2013 -- Today six residents of Paulding County, GA., filed suit against the Paulding County Industrial Building Authority and the Paulding County Airpo

Pubby ..........David started this and Delta is being drug through the mud on the Pro passenger service web site. What do you expect?? The PCAA and the IBA made the decision to compete with the big boys what do you expect? ME think they made a bad decision, Lots of Dollars being spent on attorney fees.

Folks do get a little carried away sometimes and post things that really back fires on them Here is one of Beach Bums post where she tried to belittle a group of people that was simply expressing their first amendment rights. http://paulding.com/forum/index.php/topic/306294-so-sad-and-disrespectful-in-my-opinion/page__p__3864187__fromsearch__1#entry3864187 Sometimes you just have to ignore a person like this

Tommy Graham did support the commercial Passenger service to the airport he "took the tour" up the East Coast and was sold on the Silver Comet Partners contract. Tommy was one of the first commissioners brought into the discussions of the commercial passenger service, And voted to issue a bond for $3.6 million dollars to complete the work necessary to provide the passenger service. This bond issue is presently being contested in the court system Todd Pownall is the only Commissioner who is opposed to commercial passenger service.

Our county leaders are human beings, They are also out in the County talking trash about people that filed the law suits as well as the ones who have openly opposed the expansion of the airport. I never got personal in this until the word came back to me of what some were saying about me, And some of the others that oppose this expansion. I plan on staying on the offense as long as they do. I have lost a lot of respect for some of the top leaders of this county, And I doubt they will ever gain my respect again. Leaders should be open honest and transparent, This did not occur on the a

It was

No your memory is failing you

Wow and this past election did you support someone who owes over a million in back taxes??

Pubby The fabulous five can no longer deal behind closed doors in the dead of the night. They have got to come out and lay all of their cards on the table. The truth of this deal will surface thanks to six concerned citizens who have the desire to protect the citizens of this county from the good ole boys and GIRLS club. Let the sun shine through all the backroom deals and expose the elected and appointed officials who were a part of it

WOW I was wondering if it was legal for them to just lend each other money since all of the IBA board is also on the Airport Authority. There was something about that loan that seemed a little out of the ordinary of course we still have the fabulous five that are involved in this deal. I forget does this also include the Chamber? You would think that the fabulous five would know what is legal and what is illegal? Oh well at least the tax payers want have to foot the bill on this law suit, Surely the IBA will pay this??? Such a shame to spend all these dollars on something the citizens

Pubby ya'll have publically taken on Delta Airlines on ya'lls facebook page. That is all you are talking about, You have attacked The City of Atlanta and Hartsfield Jackson airport ya'll have negative pictures on face book, Not too smart. David Austin has started a fight with some folks that really have some deep pockets and quite frankly I do not believe that Paulding County government has enough money to fight this fight. Of course David Can Always raise taxes again and claim he had to because he inherited the airport but............... Is that going to work. My My how quickly

Pubby Have you ever considered subjecting yourself to the same thing every other poster on this site is subjected to? Yep you can post everyday all day about whatever you desire to post about and that silent majority of folks that read have no way of rating your post. Are you afraid of the truth?

Which begs the question........ Why would Paulding County Georgia, the Paulding Chamber, Paulding County Airport Authority And the Paulding County Industrial Business Authority all decide to take on the City of Atlanta, Hartsfield Jackson Airport and Delta Airlines.

Pubby For some reason I sense a little change in your opinion as to what Todd Pownall knew and when he knew it. I really thought that you would scoop this story and play the recording here on P.Com for all to here. And maybe even elaborate a little bit more than what you have in the two paragraphs above since you actually have a copy of the recording. Having said that at least you gave somewhat a fair assessment of what you heard in the recording. Do know this issue is not going to go away, with David and his folks running around all over the county spreading false and malicious

Yep you can take that to the bank, Heck the Airport Authority already had to issue some minutes for the secret off site held in Douglas County On June 18th and 19th 2013 The more them Lawyers ask questions the more comes out.This was first noted in the bond hearing on December 2,2013 When things are done secretly, It does make it difficult to unravel the entire scheme. Now some of our leaders would have you believe that this was not a secret meeting, But rather one that was held in "confidence" to that I say ............. This secret meeting was held about 7 months after the deal

According to a article in the Paulding neighbor the Airport Authority is considering giving rent reduction to the Paulding Jet center. Story here http://neighbornewspapers.com/view/full_story/24277675/article-Airport-considering-giving-rent-reduction-to-operator?

Pubby Are you getting paid by the word to support the airport deal? Since you are so adept at answering a post maybe you could just answer a couple of questions that does not require a lot of thinking. Since you acknowledge that the County has sunk over $6 million dollars in the movie studio could you please answer how many jobs were created from the use of the facility since say 2010. And what impact it has had on creating jobs for Paulding County. This next one will be easy for you. With nearly $50 million of federal dollars and a soon to be $20 million in state and County tax dollars

Well...... Birds of a feather do flock together and a lot of similarities do seem to rub off

Animal is okay he just acts that way after visiting with his kin folks Jerry S for Christmas dinner :yahoo:

This Board of Commissioners supported by the Chamber the IBA And the airport authority has spent millions on two projects ( Airport and Movie studio) and after at least 5 years of operation at the airport and over 3 years of operation at the movie studio has yet to turn one red cent in profit in either endeavor. This group has now secretly went around FAA rules and also propose to invest another $11 million further in the money pit out on west 278. In addition to this waste of tax dollars the Board of commissioners Austin, Carmichael, Barnett, And Graham have elected to pick a fight wi

If you consider that industry then the city of Atlanta metropolitan area will surpass that 1,000 fold and there is no airport within 10 miles of downtown Atlanta.

Not sure has been a while since I have been there but Check out Riverdale Ga. Or College Park Ga. Hapeville did have the Ford assembly but it has now closed help me out name some in that area that works over say 5 to 25 employees

ROTFALMAO The pro airport face book page has now decided to block certain users from posting on the page REALLY!!!!!!! Good open Honest and transparent discussions And David Austin was the first one that Liked the Article And Of course the Chamber President and CEO also liked it Below is the statement . Unfortunately, some community members who are against the development of the airport have decided to use this page, which was created to highlight the positive aspects of the new business venture coming to Paulding County, as a means to spread rumors, harass users and basical

Tundra I did not mean to vote negative on your post, I was going to post and hit the wrong thing sorry. We do have one good paying job at the airport Blake makes a fantastic salary, I believe after what five years of operation we have two other employees a FOB operator and a secretary for Blake So we have created jobs there but wait.......We are using about a half million a year in salaries, utilities etc. And I have yet to see a report where we have broke even. The pipe dream was all the tax dollars that would be collected there..... well I believe that did not pan out too well either. These
