WHITEY

I can name you one thing that has occured....He left a trail of defeated commissioners in his wake

That is the regular meeting, Can you speak at those meetings? When do you need to sign up by? Who do you contact to sign up

Hope they do well hope it brings business to Paulding. will probably be somewhere along 61 north or the crossroads area which should really satisfy LPPT

Pubby You are not looking at reality. I do not know of any place in the metropolitan Atlanta area where the sales pitch has been made to bring commercial air traffic to a County that has been received with open arms. Dang open your eyes and look around Gwinnett and Barrow county commissioners dabbled around with privatizing the County airport and a lot of the commissioners lost their jobs, That is not voting someone off the Island as you contend, But is rather replacing the Commissioners who is not representing the needs of the people who elected them. That is democracy working at

Anyone take the Dallas new era? I was at the barber shop and overhead some gossip about Todd Pownall. It sounded as if Commissioner Pownall had a letter in this weeks edition addressed to the CEO of Delta along with some other very prominent local folks

yep you read that right, We have elections coming up in May/June

Hey Pubby here is some more info that you should digest when considering the airport expansion. http://onlineathens.com/stories/121308/new_366946930.shtml

Pubby I read your post....Even though it is very lengthy I read it three times to make sure that I did not overlook anything. I guess you either forgot or ignored the fact That I moved here from Clayton county Georgia in 1977. I had to move several times while I lived in Clayton County due to the expansion and noise levels of Hartsfield/Jackson . Clayton County has been decimated by Hartsfield/Jackson Clayton County is full of crime and corruption Clayton county has terrible schools I am speaking from experience. Simple solution to the entire issue. Let each Commiss

I hope you are right on your assumption......No improvements to the runway/taxi way == no contract? I just wish this fight was that easy. Heck all we would have to do is get two more commissioners to vote against issuing bonds to do the work. Three are up for re election come next May and that may be do able

Pubby It appears that you are spamming today.. But of course this is your site so I guess you can do as you wish. For what I get out of Jamies presentation is the airport was important for those who wanted to locate here and use the facility for their CORPORATE JETS. not for commercial passenger service heck that is what the airport was built for the general aviation part of air travel Here is the rest of the story Here is Kemie's AMAZING BOC Speech, 12/10/13: Thank you very much for this opportunity to appear before you and to speak as a concerned citizen. I have here a

Here is Kemie's AMAZING BOC Speech, 12/10/13: Thank you very much for this opportunity to appear before you and to speak as a concerned citizen. I have here a copy of An Open Letter to the Residents of Paulding County from the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce and, I understand, it was used as a full page ad in the Dallas New Era. Although I do not have the time nor the knowledge to speak to all points of it, I would like to point out some misinformation under the heading Proven Benefits and specifically as it pertains to the company, Interroll. “Economic Development Proven B

Of course no one really knows when the contract was finalized but from what I have been told 11/28/2012 is the date it was signed. it was almost 11 months later before it was announced. Are you saying the contract was not finalized until October 2013 at the airport?

Is this just for Chamber members?

The elected and appointed people are the ones that should answer the questions from the people. The commissioners are using our tax dollars to cram this down our throats why should they be exempt from being questioned?

That surprised me also, I have not heard that read since the Shearin days I did notice some changes in this that this administration has made to further silence the citizens

Respectfully Beach Bum The chairman and all of the Commissioners had two opportunities yesterday to have a one on one meeting with both speakers at the Board of Commissioners meeting. Of course this would of been an Open, Honest and Transparent discussion because the first meeting included the Chairman of the Airport Authority, All of the Commissioners the airport director the mayor of Hiram, P.Com was taping it as well as the neighbor news paper along with the Atlanta Journal reporter at least three cameras were rolling to record the events. Now tell me which one of those elected to have a

From what I have heard she was quite a speaker, and did a marvelous job of telling the real reason that Interroll located here. I never did buy into our airport being the reason that they located here as the Chamber BoC and others have contended since this is a Swiss Company and our airport is not capable of International flights. OH MY.... Has the airport Board also agreed on secret International flights ? MOJO 413 was there maybe he taped the meeting or can give more detail Wow two great women speakers in one day, Keep up the good work.

Why does he want to always do things one on one, The chairman of the commission should speak out at these meetings if he really is for honest, open, And transparent government. Then he should quit spending million in tax dollars on attorney fees, Fighting for something that a majority of the folks do not want. It is past time for ALL of our elected leaders to take a stand openly.

Pubby Thank you for posting this interview It is a welcome change to see you posting both sides of the airport. As we talked today I remember many times that you always covered both sides of the issues that arose at a commission meeting. Fact is on many occasions you would interview the commission Chairman and posted those interviews here as a public service. You are aware that I confronted my Commissioner David Carmichael here today about the secret and underhanded way it which he conducted himself during the course of the negotiations with Silver Comet LLC. I also talked with C

I would be very happy if the leaders of this county would just do what they said they were going to do when they first built the airport and stop spending millions in tax dollars doing something we do not want.

Tess The meeting went quite well was actually the run of the mill type boring commission meeting. with two exceptions This item was brought up by the Commission chair Resolution 13-40 Re-adopting and affirming the five ethical principles of a Certified County of Ethics as recognized by The Georgia Municipal Association. In which none of the commissioners made any comment. After the regular order of business was concluded a concerned citizen who had previously signed up to speak about the ethics in government Really made one of the best speeches that I have heard in a long time as it rel

If you think the majority want the airport expanded to carry the large passenger jets lets have a referendum on it complete with TOWN HALL TYPE MEETINGS SUPPORTED BY THE CHAMBER AND THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY AND THE IBA DAVID AUSTIN AND DAVID CARMICHAEL CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS< BOTD AUSTIN CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF DALLAS AND THE MAYOR OF HIRAM CAN ALSO SPEAK SINCE THEY ALL SUPPORT IT.

The Board of Commissioners Meeting will be held today 10:00 2nd floor of the administration Building. One item of interest on the agenda is Discuss action to adopt Resolution 13-40 Re-adopting and affirming the five ethical principles of a Certified County of Ethics as recognized by The Georgia Municipal Association Since Commission Chairman David Austin and Post 1 Commissioner David Carmichael were part of the airport authority that voted to keep this a secret from Post 2 commissioner Todd Pownall And the citizens of this great county The discussion on this agenda item may be quite live

Good open, honest, And transparent protest against the powers to be Looked at the face book page https://www.facebook.../savepauldingco and read where they was approached in an attempt to stop the handing out of the flyers. This was a successful way to get the word out on the airport expansion. Heck more folks saw that flyer than the article the Chamber put in the local papers. :D

I know who is paying the legal fees for the County. WE ARE
