General aviation pilots have left because of increased traffic. How much is this costing the taxpayers?

With the exception of occasional military flights, all traffic at PDK is general aviation, from larger corporate aircraft to smaller single engine aircraft. PDK is an enterprise fund of the county, and the airport funds projects using a combination of FAA and Georgia Department of Transportation grants and/or its own revenue. The enterprise fund is financed through airport lease agreements, fuel flowage fees, and percentages of gross sales.

Neither DeKalb County property taxes nor sales taxes fund the airport. FAA grants are funded by the Aviation Trust Fund, which is in turn funded by aviation fuel taxes, airline ticket taxes, and cargo waybill taxes. The Aviation Trust Fund is not funded by federal income taxes.

If a portion of traffic left the airport and was not replaced by other activity, it would have an effect on total airport revenues, but not on DeKalb County taxpayers. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
