WHITEY

Tahoe I do have the information from Mr. Watson and I will have to say that he was really helpful. I even dropped by his office this past Wednesday to make sure I had the correct information, And again he was very open honest and transparent. Sorry I can not post the information I have tried numerous times to do so and I just cannot get it out of word to post here. The numbers are as follows 2011 $6,495.80 2012 $57,664.96 2013 $62,031.79 These figures represent the actual taxes collected as of 12/5/13 and covers all aircraft registered in Paulding County. Mr. Watson di

What are the passwords?

The fact that the leaders are sacred to have a referendum on it, They have done the polling they know how the vote would come out. That is one reason The other reason is I have had no one tell me that they want to expand the airport, Of course I do not attend the chamber meetings.

I do not agree with you, it will become political. The issue here the best I can tell is Commercial service vs General Aviation just like it was at Barrow County and Gwinnett county People like you and BB have tried to muddy the water but facts are facts. We had a general Aviation Airport and all was fine until the parties tried to expand to commercial service. Heck this fight and this group have tried to do this in several counties, It is such a shame that our leaders were so gullible, And this NYC salesman talked them into being secret with the entire deal.

Well at least you post are getting somewhat shorter And yes the citizens do have a right to decide whether they want commercial or a General aviation airport. True authority has been delegated to the Commissioners and true all but Todd Pownall has not lived up to their Campaign promises as it relates to the airport Does that mean the citizens has no recourse? No!!!!! That does not take away our first amendment right to have our grievances addressed and to bring them before those that govern us, To and including using the Courts of the County, State and Federal Government seeking r

I never said all citizens agree with ne A majority do though The court system and the laws was designed for exactly this reason and that is to prevent over zealous Board of Commissioners for putting the citizens in debt for frivolous reasons. Are you a Chamber Member? What Business do you own? Oh never mind......I think I know the answer

Okay now the entire group of citizens are rapid for acknowledging a lady that was speaking her mind in front of a group of citizens. Got cha. Best I can remember the jest of that speech went to our leaders both elected and appointed acting in a Open, Honest and Transparent manner..... Did I miss something? Of course those who want to cram the airport down our throat see another side to the speech. Of course it is okay with you if the Chamber runs two full page ads that contains information that arguably is supported by some of the top business leaders of the County, which containe

LPPT sometimes the local business folks really need to concern themselves with what the customers needs, wants and desires are Instead of what the Chamber of Commerce wants to push down citizens throats. If the articles in the two papers is representative of what the Board of directors support as a whole then I will be taking my business elsewhere I do not have to buy locally nor do I have to support local business that is supporting the airport expansion. Likewise the business that support the airport expansion have every right to do so. I choose where I spend my money, they choo

Now there you go again twisting things around to suit your own little agenda. I do not want anything put on the May 2014 primary ballot, Nor do I want this commission to issue any bonds to finance this expansion I simply want them to do what they have committed to do, And that is to have a general aviation airport. Millions upon millions of tax dollars are going to be spent trying to bring something here that the majority of the citizens do not want. The commissioners did not sign the agreement and their are clauses in that agreement that allows outs if the expansion cannot be acc

Tundra Me think that BB hath spent to much time in Houston And has lost touch to the reality of the feelings of the people here in Paulding County.

BB I am not questioning whether you have several friends in Vista Lake But ......... I do question if they are looking forward to the expansion as you assert. Can you PM the names where I can cross reference the petitions that were signed in that subdivision?

I know where I can get one pal thanks.

Pubby This is not a done deal, Why are you indicating that it is. Millions more must be spent to even make this effort viable. Millions more will have to be spent in attorneys fees. Citizens are protesting this LEVEL OF EXPANSION if it passes then we can concentrate on the next level of expansion We are not a bunch of country bumpkins that the slick talking feller for NYC thinks we are. First the terminal, then the taxi way, then the fire station then the sewer from the city of Dallas, Them the additional parking lot, of course to go commercial had to have a fire station, o

Who is this rabid group you speak of?

that was a good one LMBO

Let us vote

Are you okay?

They are used to meeting early, heck some meetings are held there before daylight, This is not a special meeting, It is the regular scheduled monthly meeting it is always held at 9:00 am

SMY34 I agree the FAA taxes collected on every plane ticket is not a tax on your income. And neither is the taxes that the county collects on your personal property, utilities, sales tax, SPLOST tax etc. All of these taxes are being used to support the airport and the expansion of the airport. Right now. Where did you get the information on the TSA agents? Oh and don't forget the tax dollars that are being used to pay for attorney fees by the county so they can issue millions in bonds to complete the expansion of the airport, which in the long term could exceed $14 million dolla

We have already did this, Early on we were assured that that this would be a GENERAL AVIATION AITPORTBy some of the very ones that met secretly and kept this secret for almost a year were the ones that committed to keeping this a General Aviation Airport. Chairman Austin campaigned on this issue, Heck you have videos of Calvin Thompson and Blake Swafford committing to a general Aviation airport. I am quite sure that somewhere along the Boyd Austin was only supporting a General Aviation airport. One thing I am 100% sure of.... None, Nada, Nil of the current elected leaders ever campaigne

I recently bought a new Silverado and bought mine in Dawsonville from John Mengel. Yes boycotts do matter. The chamber needs to realize this and act accordingly

I disagree it is not extreme boycotts are a very effective way to get the attention of a business that is supporting something publicly that I am opposed to and has been used very effectively. I am of the opinion that no project where tax payers dollars are used should be done in secret, Hell the laws of the State of Georgia are on our side in this issue. But less assume that there was a need for secret meetings, Do know that contracts were signed over one year ago, Why is things still so secret? For local and national business to lend their names to secret deals in full page ads t

the airport has been operating for five years name me one year the airport has made a profit. The County is paying all utilities and salaries and it still is not making a profit The commissioners need to stop spending all tax dollars at our Airport and do what they campaigned on. The movie theatre needs to be shut down and save that 3/4 of a Million dollar yearly loss

I know a majority of folks agree with that. We need a recall since my Commissioner and the Chairman are not up for election until 2016 Heck they would have enough time to get the MARTA project through by then, Not to mention the West toll road

Lets go to the Airport meeting next Wednesday at 9:00 am and we can ask Blake or Calvin surely they can cite you some successful ventures.
