From county commissioner Jeff Rader :
Dear Friends and Neighbors, After my previous email regarding the proposed FAA changes for PDK & Hartsfield operating altitudes I received an email from Larry Foster of PDK Watch informing me of a couple of corrections he wanted to make to the email:
From state rep. Stephanie Stuckey Benfield's newsletter, March 1-7, 2010:
February 28, 2010: Kudos to the Commissioners: In case you missed it, the DeKalb County Commission axed the CEO's proposal for a property tax hike in the county budget they passed on Tuesday, February 23. The budget was adopted by a unanimous 7-0 vote.
From StandUp DeKalb, Inc., February 25, 2010 re. FAA Presentation on Lowered Flightpaths for PDK & Hartsfield : Dear Friends and Neighbors, This is a bit of a departure from our previous emails, but this is an issue that impacts all of us in DeKalb. The FAA is proposing to lower the flightpath altitudes for Hartsfield flights departing in our direction. This lowered altitude will in turn depress and compress the flight envelope for flights in and out of Peachtree DeKalb airport.
With the appointment of state senator David Adelman to an ambassadorship, there is a contest for his state senate seat. The two candidates that have come to our attention are Jason Carter and Tom Stubbs. They both have websites with information and meet-and-greet events.
