Beach Bum I guess we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this issue, I am also not quite sure we have the entire story on what transpired at the Church with David Austin and Tommie Graham I do know that they contacted the pastor, I have not quite got it in my mind why it was necessary to contact the pastor period they are not members of that church therefore what business was it of theirs what the church was doing with the building? can you tell the readers why David Austin And Tommie Graham contacted the pastor? I re read the post that apparently has your PIAW.... I think it was

I am curious now How many department heads working for the county that does not live here Including the IBA and the airport authority

Put in LPPT back yard and let the flight path be over New Hope Oops me bad I thought we were talking about the airport We must have some pretty good jobs here with all the commuting here to work

Not sure if they have the one on business 6 approved yet but that could be an alternative

I only know of one developer and one former commissioner who is upset about that We are not anti airport we are anti commercial passenger expansion, Enough millions of tax dollars have been dumped into that money pit I feel the same way about the fabulous movie studio on bill carruth Whose idea was that Tommie Graham or David Austin or Both?

I am confused does all of this mean that sewerage has now been ran to the PRD that David Austin owns?

LPPT you really amaze me with some of your comments, If the group running the IBA are so great please tell me some of the successful deals they have been involved in. Would you put up any of your dollars on the movie studio. I do not know why you mislead the readers you know fully well that the county does not foot the bill for sewer lines, the developers are required to do this, Heck Sherain alleged that David was running against him because he would not run sewerage to his already approved PRD which is located on Ivey Gulledge road I believe. I wonder if the sewerage has been ran to that

saw this on another web site and decided to share with P.com TO: Boyd L. Austin, Jr., City of Dallas Mayor and Airport Authority Vice Chairman Doris Devey, City of Hiram Mayor and Airport Authority Board Member Blake Swafford, Airport Director and Airport Authority Secretary David Carmichael, Post 1 Commissioner Tommie Graham, Post 3 Commissioner David A. Austin, Commission Chairman and Airport Authority Board Member Commissioners, Board of Commissioners Citizens for a Better Paulding County, Petitioner Todd Pownall, Post 2 Commissioner David Barnett, Post 4 Commissio

All of the bolded is dependent on who is elected Commission Chairman and The commissioners that are elected, And how truthful they are before during and after the election. I never heard any of the commissioners state during the prior to or during the elections that they were for the expansion of the existing runway, I have yet to see a group of average citizens come before the commission and suggest or request an expansion the existing airport. Did you get the e-mail where the Chairman allegedly has hired some Washington Lawyers to fight two local residents who have filed a complaint with

LPPT no need to use Google Earth take a real tour Go to Clayton County Georgia Visit Riverdale, Jonesboro, Forest Park Hapeville, College Park all of these towns surround the Airport, Where are all of the manufacturing jobs around this facility? Do you recall the fiasco with the election of the Sheriff of Clayton County, Or How about the School System are you okay with the state taking over the school system there, Are you okay with the traffic congestion and the decimation of entire communities that the Airport has gobbled up. How about the noise pollution and the air quality that surrounds

I wish Mr. Graham and Mr, Austin would take you up on the offer to let them host a meeting there

What you and some of the other leaders of this County fail to realize WE DO NOT WANT A COMMERCIAL AIRPORT, We do not want our tax dollars spent on lawyers fee's Fighting Delta and the City of Atlanta. Most folks did not move to Paulding County for employment, They moved here to get away from the Hustle and Bustle of the surrounding Counties and the rural type living, Who wants a County as big and cluttered as Atlanta?

What gets me is the secrecy of this entire matter, Oh I know what the answer will be the commissioners have been advised by the attorneys not to discuss the case due to pending litigation We have no answers pubby we only have questions, Not like you to not go after a juicy story about the commission. Heck I believe I will sign up at the next meeting to see if Tommie Graham will spill the beans on the others,Or was he also a part of this coverup?

I was at the barber shop a few hours ago and overheard a couple of customers talking about the county hiring some lawyers in Washington DC. Dang it seems that we allready spent more dollars on Lawyers than we will collect in rent for the entire year. But so what it is only tax payer money The County is on this big ego trip to beat down another citizen who wants to have their day in court. Heck they are not even through beating down Surepip yet and already starting on two more Hey Pubby have you got any inside information on the law suit filed in Washington by two,Paulding County residents?

Pubby I really am at a loss at some of the statements you made in this post, While I was not a paid employee of the David Austin Campaign for Chairman I was very involved in that campaign not as much as Todd Pownall was but we worked very hard to get David elected. I thought my memory was bad but……I believe yours may be worse than mine The previous administration was relying on the airport to draw them some votes heck had a big shin dig out there I believe the governor was invited, And the emphasis was that this was going to be a General aviation Airport and that there would be no passeng

After seeing and hearing what they did to you and the tax dollars they spent on your case it is scary as to what they are willing to spend to defend their little pet project. Can you imagine Paulding County using our tax dollars to fight Delta and the City of Atlanta only then will they realize how you have been feeling the past several years I am getting more disappointed with The Chairman and a couple of the commissioners everyday, Begining to look a lot like the old days

Have you ever seen the announcement take a year after a major deal? Have you ever seen details of the deal have to be dug out with FOIA request? All the while spending tax dollars to provide infrastructure to make the deal is viable. Have you ever seen the four government groups involved be so secret that they would not let the Commissioner whose post includes the airport be aware of the deal Heck LPPT were you aware As a PBA member did you know that this was going on in october 2012?

LPPT take a deep breath relax, You are saying things that I have never said. I do expect the politicians both present and past to live up to campaign promises that this would be a GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT. I have heard both make this promise to the citizens of Paulding County Never have I heard any county commissioners or Commission Chairman campaign on the pledge to bring commercial passenger service to this airport NEVER have you? True many times I have heard commissioners say that we need to make the General Aviation Airport Profitable, And I support that but not through changing it to a

Corporations regularly conduct meetings off the radar State and County Goverments are suppose to abide by the laws that govern them as it relates to public meetings. Heck why don't Austin have a Town Hall Meeting SOON and we will know what is going on, And can see how people would react

LPPT I really do not understand sometimes where you are coming from on this issue. Let’s take a little history lesson. First the citizens were asked to float a bond to build a GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT. We voted no, TWICE. The previous administration through some political maneuvering was able to get approval to build a GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT, with the promise to the citizens that it was to be built as General Aviation only and remained that way through the remainder of that administration and through the first and second election of the current administration . In my way of thinking a pr

This meeting was conducted in a manner that was very professional and above board, Unlike th 10/24 2012 meeting that was held in the dead of the night and special called without notification to citizens that is the norm for meeting notifications. Nothing good has ever come out of secret meetings that are held in the dead of night

I am not sure whether the figures include fringe benefits or not But I am sure that the Taxpayers of Paulding County are footing the entire bill. Contrary to what previous administrations have said that the tax payers will not pay a penny for this airport we now find out that such is not the case. This administration has sunk MILLIONS into this money pit, And will sink MILLIONS more if not stopped. Heck we will probably spend tens of thousands of dollars to litigate a Bond issue of $ 3.4 million Where will this madness stop Of course this administration has not had a problem spe

It was shameful how this luncheon was handled by the Chamber, Just another situation of the leadership of this County looking down on the average citizens.

Yea how did you come up with that summation? I was there and thought the meeting was conducted in a businesslike manner, Heck I hope they have another meeting. What I would really like to see is David Austin Boyd Austin Carolyn Wright Doris Devey And David Carmichael host a Town Hall Meeting and explain their actions at the Secret meeting they attended in the dead of the night on 10/24/2012 And I could care less if they hosted this meeting in the middle of the new park at the taj mahal. Maybe the nay Sayers of this meeting can name a place that a group of people could meet at that would ho

Maybe we can have a copy of the lease in a few days Sent three FOIA request today One to David Austin And My commissioner David Carmichael And one to Blake Swafford the airport director, We will just have to wait a few days to see if they are going to be sneaky and try to stonewall or if they are going to be above board and provide the information requested.
