State Senator David Adelman
posts opinion on the community's winning the PDK
Open Records lawsuit
The following statement is
issued by Senator David Adelman (D-DeKalb) on Wednesday, August 10, 2005:
"The residents of DeKalb County are winners today. The Superior Court
of DeKalb County has found that Georgia's law clearly
requires disclosure of important information regarding the types of
aircraft using PDK Airport and the frequency of takeoffs and landings
at the airport.
Finally, the people who live near PDK Airport will be able to find
out whether airplanes which regularly fly close to the rooftops of their
homes are violating the law. I am pleased to have played a small part
in this victory for open government. The court's order repeats the findings
contained in the opinion of the Attorney General obtained by my office
early this year.
In the name of open government, I implore the DeKalb County Commission
and the managers of PDK to comply with the court's
order immediately and cease their wasteful and stubborn litigation."
