All is not well in Mayberry , Seems as if at least one commissioner is supporting the citizens http://neighbornewspapers.com/view/full_story/24251421/article-Commissioner-says-passenger-service-at-airport-not-popular?instance=paulding

I heard that mentioned many times during the campaign, I often wondered why he did not replace Swafford as promised. I believe the record will show that he actually gave Swafford a raise. Yep ole David was going to clean house and all he did was fire a little old lady I agree he needs to grow some.

I am all ears what is the connection?

Does anyone know of any changes to the Paulding County Airport Authority And the Industrial Building Authority that David Austin has made since he took office? Looking at the department Heads they look the same as Shearin with a couple of exceptions Looks like he hired a old associate of Shearin to be the county manger and he brought a couple of his employees over with him for some of the department head jobs? We all know that Mr. Austin inherited the airport as he has contended in the interview. what we don't know is why he did not make any changes to the PCAA or the IBA if they were

I do believe that Pat Callahan was opposing about a million passengers a year and that equals over 27 flights per day. I guess it all depends on who you believe No way is this millions of dollars on the airport and several millions of dollars on attorneys fees going to be spent to support two flights per day. I can tell you if these commissioners would approve Commercial passenger service and keep it secret for almost a year then they will keep MARTA a secret.

NewsJunky no disrespect after what has occurred with the airport I would not believe anything Mr. Dugan said If Maxwell and Dugan support the airport them both of them will support MARTA

What in the hades have you been smoking sir!!!! Wow you are really out there now. First the entire MARTA issue was not something I dreamed up Just Like the Proposed toll road. You have seen the plans that Tundra posted.... Forget that...I posted a link from the local newspaper reporter that QUOTED REPRESENTATIVE DUGAN go back and look at the article..... It was a quote not something I made up. Yes Marta did try to get service to Cobb County and the citizens turned it down Other Counties now have MARTA service.... TODAY.... RIGHT now, Heck we have a MARTA station probably less that twent

David it is past time for you to come clean, You never promised to turn the airport into a commercial Passenger service, Fact is you campaigned on making the airport successful as a General Aviation airport Both in 2008 and 2012. Had you campaigned on making the airport the second metro Atlanta Airport you SIR would of never been elected and you know that for a fact. You are misleading the citizens of Paulding and you should be ashamed of your self.

What rail service was he talking about?

When did he change his mind...I do not trust him or Maxwell

Hey Pubby why are we not allowed to vote on your post, You are voting on ours, come on be fair, you need the feed back

There you go with that monopoly thing again. Most every major airline flies out of Atlanta to any where in the world because Delta has a majority of the flights does not make them a monopoly they have to be very completive with the other airlines flying out of Atlanta. I personally do not like to fly Delta. The last time I flew I had a choice of four carriers including Delta I chose air tran. The fact is with so many mergers their are really three or four major air lines now

And the vast majority of folks that posted to the thread you started on that issue thought you were wrong. I just don't get why you would think it is sad disrespectful and inappropriate for citizens to exercise their 1st amendments rights at a parade. surely you are not saying that what was in the flyer was wrong ?..... or were you?

I am really afraid of investors who take over regional General Airports and have covert meetings secretly held for months from the citizens

I hope you are not inferring that the airport deal was not secret, You taught me a lot yesterday. You did say that a chairman can do anything that he wants to do until the supreme court tells him different................. Well I guess this is where this is heading unless the citizens decide to quit paying David's attorney fees.

There is no doubt in my mind he was talking about MARTA it was a Quote from the reporter Dugan said the airport is limited in terms of space, there will be a certain number of flights ­— more likely between one to two a day — and that “the pros outweigh the cons” on the increased air traffic. He said he supports the proposed expansion and would like to see other alternative forms of transportation expand into Paulding County, particularly rail service. “It would be nice to see [MARTA] extend out a little bit,” Dugan said. That NJ is a copy and paste from the article, Did he mea

Deep down in my heart I do not want any outside folks coming in and telling us how to run our county..... But it seems like our top leadership does. Feelip these same leaders that you and I and a lot more folks beat the bushes to get them elected have turned their backs on US and have made a decision to let a outside firm from NYC to come in and take complete control of every aspect of our Airport with the only restriction that I saw in the contract tha whatever they did has to be legal meaning no dope or other illegal activity. I am not okay with that, I lived in Clayton County Before the

Not trying to be smart but MARTA is rail transporation

I think the problem is with Maxwell and Dugan Hell they are already on record of supporting the Airport and MARTA I just knew you were going to fluff this article over. Are you sure that you are not bring compensated Oh ....never mind. As sure as I am sitting here typing the secret deals are being made to bring MARTA here and Dugan let it slip Like you said in some earlier post the new law allows them to meet secretly and then drop it on the citizens in one meeting

The future is in our hands, we need to stop this now. I agree with you this airport is going to bring MARTA and the toll road. People need to wake up and rise up and be counted. If MARTA was not already in the plans then Dugan would of never mentioned it

Tundra MARTA has always been a part of the master plan we are going to be like the city of Atlanta and Clayton County in less than five years if this is not stopped.

Well I really do not agree with them bringing MARTA to the County, But of course I am sure the Chamber and people like you will enjoy the MARTA station at Hiram Dallas And the airport Heck I am sure that Bentwater will be proud to have A MARTA STATION

In a town hall meeting October 23, 2013 11:11 AM | 2117 views | 1 | 23 | | District 30 State Sen. Mike Dugan and District 17 State Rep. Howard Maxwell weighed in on the proposed changes looming at the Paulding County Airport last week during a town hall meeting in Dallas. “I’m all for it,” Maxwell said. Plans are to expand the airport to allow for commercial flights but, according to published reports, Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson does not approve of a second commercial airport within metro Atlanta. Maxwell, R-Dallas, who spoke at the meeting organized by D
