  1. Carolyn Is Scheduled to Chair the special called IBA meeting Wednesday, because One of the Austin boys is AWOL, can' stand the heat
  2. It depends on who you ask, The Chamber ran by mostly folks from outside the County will tell you that it is a continuation of the existing tax. The truth is this SPLOST will end around mid year next year unless the Citizens vote themselves another tax increase for the following six years. Plus the tax increase is for $15,000,000 more dollars than the existing SPLOST. I guess a taxpayer has to ask themselves for what SPECIAL PURPOSE do I want to tax myself another $110,000,000 dollars? That is all this tax is for SPECIAL PURPOSES. If you like the tax spent on sidewalks, airport
  3. I really think that the yearly increases in property taxes in the County along with the new tax imposed in the city of Hiram by the former Mayor and the frivolous spending of tax dollars for side walks and water falls is taking the toll on residents. Now the County is asking for another SPLOST tax which is going to take another $110,000,000 tax dollars out of circulation in the County( WOW THAT IS A $ 15,000 000 TAX INCREASE OVER AND ABOVE THE LAST SPLOST) To spend on some more items that are unspecified for the airport and the beautification of the City of Dallas and some walking trails,
  4. There is a special called meeting of the Airport Authority and the Industrial Building Authority scheduled the day after the court hearing, ( May 24, 2016 ) and election day. May 24,2016 .
  5. I was just trying to figure out where I heard it, I believe I heard about it at Martins. I know all the folks were invited, I am pretty sure that the TRAVIS TRITT Show was by invitation only, really not sure about that though. The banquet hall would in no way handle the crowd that was there, I think that part was reserved for the Viet Nam veterans that were guest of the event, and probably a few other folks. Yea HA HA I just remembered I did hear of it at Martins, They do another event in the fall of the year.
  6. I, went to the ceremony this week that was honoring a group of Viet Nam veterans. They have this ceremony every year honoring these veterans, and this group came from all over the United States to be a part of the ceremony. It was indeed quite an event seeing all the veterans being honored, Particularly the Viet Nam era veterans. They had a roll call and a 21 gun salute, followed by Taps, and there were not many dry eyes in the crowd after this... This event is sponsored by the family that owns this property ( I believe the name was Al Walker ) and was free with no donations be
  7. The make up of the IBA and the PCAA is presently in Litigation. Doris Devey lost the Mayors race in Hiram and is now replaced by Teresa Phillyaw, Underwood resigned about two years ago and was replaced by Buzzelli and that is in Litigation. David Austin will be replace 1/1/2017.Alan Shipp has been removed and is in Litigation. The Tidmore term expired and is in litigation and he has not been to the last few meetings. It is not unusual for the airport authority to not be up to date on appointments..
  8. No that is a wish list for the DOT If they had the entire $110,000,000 they could not finish that list in seven years. A lot of those projects is intersection improvements like the one at 61 south. We need specific single projects that will improve the congestion in Hiram and Dallas. We don't need no more stinking Sidewalks in Dallas we need wider roads through the City those pretty Bick side walks and water falls do not move a lot of cars through Dallas
  9. We built one but they didn't come... Now what?
  10. Not a correct list many are not there now
  11. Just some more Bull chit on your part. We have had a 60 acre industrial park at the airport since 2008. We have had a contract with propeller to develop this industrial park agreed to by Dave Carmichael since October 2012. We built a water tank on site three years ago, just sitting there mot being used. A sewer line was extended from Vista lake to the Airport over two years ago for the Industrial park. Then Carmichael and the Airport authority sprung the secret contract to provide two passenger flights per week to utilize the airport and spent Millions Tearing up a new term
  12. Yea ,they had it setting in the field at the air show.
  13. I am not willing to give another red cent with the SPLOST being administered like it is. You want another $110,000,000..... Then list every project that you want to spend the tax dollars on. Every SPLOST generates more and more tax dollars, This new SPLOST will generate $15,000,000 more dollars than the pervious SPLOST. SPLOST were legislated for "Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax". It is now used as a slush fund a good instance is the $500,000 crash truck for the airport and $300,000 plus grading for the airport. There was no mention of this when the SPLOST was up for votes
  14. The airport is doomed to fail regardless, there is not a single person there that has any experience or a clue on how to run a airport of any type
  15. Never heard that or read anything similar. It is a proven fact a airport depreciates home values. Clayton county has four cities that touch the airport property, and all four of the cities has huge city taxes as well as a huge county taxes, fact is they are among the highest in the state.. With all the jobs and businesses that are around the airport and the City of Atlanta you would think their taxes would be lower. The fact is they are not. This is facts are derived from the State of Georgia Department of revenue and is irrefutable !!!. OH.. BTW I used to live in Riverdal
  16. My MY You are slipping, That was the argument that the County attorneys used when appealing the bond case to the Georgia Supreme Court. This has been raised several times. Surely you did not fall for that BS that Larry and David was spewing about a couple of flights per week? Common sense would tell you that two flights per week would not be financially feasible to sustain a airport. Heck Brett was bolder than that he stated a Million passengers per year.. The REGIONAL HUB has been around since day one
  17. I am sure that Carmichaels campaign cringes every time this is replayed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNbhcutBPDs&feature=youtu.be But I know how he feels, those senior moments are very disturbing when they are caught on tape.
  18. Okay folks it is time to separate the Bull from the facts. First, look at the facts. Below you will find a chart that was compiled by the Georgia Department of Revenue in 2014 . This chart reflects the millage rates for personal property taxes for, Homes, Motor homes, Boats etc. that determines the amount of property taxes that you pay for these items. This tax is commonly called an Ad Valorem tax. This millage rate determines how much taxes you pay to the County, City (Dallas only) and the State, on all of your personal property. https://dor.georgia.gov/sites/dor.georgia.gov/files/re
  19. I agree!!!! The next Chairman will have to find a way to circumvent the intergovernmental agreement that Carmichael and Austin passed in 2014 which guarantees the Airport Authority $3,000,000 over a ten year period. I truly believe that Robbie Dobson can get that done. It is hard to believe that they voted to do this but............ At least that was not done in secret or the nod of the head.
  20. Robbie is the only person in this race that has actually ran a small business for over 30 years., All of the rest of them have no business experience. at all. It is not uncommon to hire a county manager for the day to day operations. David Austin had a County manager when Carmichael served under him before he QUIT. Carruth had a county manager when Roger Leggett served under him and Jerry Shearin had a County manager when Leggett served under him. I believe the County Manager system started under the Roger Leggett,/ Bill Carruth administration. WOW what a resume for Roger
  21. This video really summed up what is happening in Paulding County. Are you tired of the good old boy network running Paulding County, like Virginia Galloway, Dave Carmichael, And Roger Leggett Do you really want a paid lobbyist like Virginia Galloway handling the budget awarding contracts meeting in the cloak rooms cutting deals with other lobbyist that is giving her CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS this election cycle? Do you really want Dave Carmichael a person that thinks the citizens are the problem, and believes that it is okay to meet in secret and cut deals that are not in keeping wit
  22. As this primary election season is winding down, I was reminiscing about the covert, sneaky, and unscrupulous manner in which some of our leaders of this County has misrepresented us over the past couple of years. In particular the manner in which they handled the Airport issue, and the Gasoline tax!!! I am reminded how Dave Carmichael met in secret and voted to do things that a majority of the citizens did not want, and secretly went about spending millions on a airport that the citizens of this county had voted down on two different occasions. And for almost a year withheld all i
  23. It seems that Howard Maxwell has got into mud slinging in order to discredit his oppoment. Folks don't fall for that smoke screen ask Howard why he raised the Gasoline tax for Georgians. Better yet ask why most of his contributions come from Super PAC's Shame on you Howard, lets see a flyer stating why you raised our gas taxes to among the highest of ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/kerstinliberty4ga/videos/1081020241972246/
  24. I thought you were the Secretary of the Let Paulding Fly group ? Am I wrong on this?
