FINALLY! Quiet Skies is under new leadership. Chad has come to the rescue and will save the organization. Chad embraces all of Quiet Skies’ good work and brings his many years of local
business expertise to the group so they can thrive and grow.
Chad and Quiet Skies believe:
If safety upgrades are made at our airport, planes will be falling out of the skies because
they then will breathe in gas from the municipal sewer plant.
With a few planes flying into the airport using aviation gas with lead in it, babies are
dying all over Kalispell.
If the planned safety upgrades are made to our airport, FA-18, Blue Angels, jets will be
landing there.
Leaving the airport as it is will reduce noise and traffic.
Thank you Chad for taking over the leadership of Quiet Skies, now we can believe everything you
and the group tell us.
Listen carefully folks, the truth, according to Chad and Quiet Skies is coming.

@Candlelighter -
Nice try, but no cigar. Mr. Graham has publicly stated his efforts are independent of the Quiet
Skies Group. He is not a member of Quiet Skies nor is he associated with them. I suspect Quiet
Skies would support his effort however, and likely will. Any attempt to link Mr. Graham to the
Quiet Skies bunch will fall flat on its face because the public will see it for what it is….a
giant case of SOUR GRAPES.
The reality is, you underestimated the voting public of Kalispell and now this issue will appear
on the ballot if 2013. The taxpayers of Kalispell will have the final say and you’re in a tizzy
over it. You and your cronies don’t want this to go before the voters because you know you’ll
lose. Again…a giant case of SOUR GRAPES!

According to Chad Graham, ““Businesses are taxpayers,” he said. “They’re the largest taxpayers in the city.”
So here is the question, if Chad Graham and all the minor taxpaying citizens are claiming
they want the people to put “finality” into the airport equation by not taking 20 million if FAA
funds, why are businesses not able to vote on the airport issue to protect their majority
taxpayer interest?
Seems to me if businesses pay the bulk of the taxes, they should at least get the bulk of
the vote privilege.
How are you going to rectify that inequity, Ms Mayor?
By EnPrime on 08-08-12 @ 8:11 pm
Illogical One-
The real question is: How does it feel to have a finger poked in your eye by the citizens of Kalispell
you deemed “too stupid to vote”? The same citizens who have managed to move forward a
referendum you claimed would never materialize? Does it smart? Huh. Now you know how we feel.
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 08-08-12 @ 9:13 pm
Thank you Chad Graham!!!!!!! Come to Ward 4, I want to sign the petition. It sure is a shame that far left liberals like Zauner, Gabriel, Saverud, Kenyon and Atkinson think the City of Kalispell tax
payers and business owners should pay for the recreational and business activities of a few greedy
pilots. What a scam this is on the 20,000 or so residents and tax payers in the City of Kalispell.
Can’t wait to sign the petition.
Oh yea, remember how these mental giants Zauner, Gabriel, Saverud, Kenyon and Atkinson
implied that the Citizens and Tax Payers of the City of Kalispell are too stupid to vote on this little
airport scam. Well it looks like they are going to find out.
Thanks Chad for standing up for the tax payers and business owners in the City of Kalispell and
trying to stop this attack from these tax and spend liberals on the Kalispell City Coucil.

Yo mamma ain’t sung, yet…. homey.
By JosephineDoody on 08-08-12 @ 10:40 pm
Maybe not Loggy…but your’s has. You sound a bit like that brainy smurf Jeff Zauner who, instead of admitting he was wrong about hopping into bed with the radical left wingers of the Council,
doubles down fully entrenched. Jeff Zauner is so out of his depth as a Councilman, I’m embarrased
for him.
A re-visit of Zauner’s “business savvy” (or lack thereof) tells the whole story on how this brainiac
doesn’t have the first clue of what it means to operate in the red (as the City Airport is, has and will
continue to do). This is what happens when you have people on the council who haven’t the
slightest idea of how business works.
By LogicalOne on 08-09-12 @ 5:07 am
Maybe you dunces that think public works should run like a business should butt-out.You won’t have any public works, if you have your way.
Why should the Library run in the red?
Why should the pool run in the red?
WHy should the police run in the red?
Doody you are so messed up and your brain is faarting stew meat. You need to join the
Hoots like they show on Nat Geo. They run government the way you want.
By JosephineDoody on 08-09-12 @ 5:10 am
Gee Loggy, you seem angry.
I wonder if it’s because you know when this vote goes to the people in 2013, you’re going to lose.
You and your pilot friends will have to finance your hobby yourselves. How unfortunate for you.
By Maria on 08-09-12 @ 7:31 am
Log Head ;
Shouldn’t you be asking why the pool, police, library and public works should operate in the
BLACK?
You have just shown us all that you don’t even understand the basics of business 101. Maybe your
buddy Jeff Zauner can help you out with that since he’s such a genius on how to run a business.
By Bonnie S on 08-09-12 @ 7:35 am
Jeff Zauner wouldn’t know a good business decision if it sat in his lap and called him “Daddy.”
By Am Trans on 08-09-12 @ 7:45 am
I would like the choices to include moving the airport to a better location. In the long run, that’s the only thing that makes sense, other than just not having a city airport. Maybe because I’m certain that
Glacier International is plenty. We’re getting this airport shoved down our throats, when the most
logical thing to do is regurgitate the whole mess into one bucket. If you will.
By LogicalOne on 08-09-12 @ 1:16 pm
Maria
Is that all you want to do is show “ME” off ? I guess I have shown you can’t follow the
topic of the “airport operating in the red”. Which it is if you manipulate the facts using
“government accounting techniques verses private business accounting”.
Step to the plate and say something that makes Maria sound intelligent and less of donkey
with a poor forward vision. You obviously see clearly looking the other way.
Bonnie you can sit it in my lap any day….
AmTrans…. close the airport and move the airport? HAHA! These dunces only want to
show that they can refuse 20 million dollars in FAA improvement and economy stimulating
money by being grumpy old Kalispell degenerates.
Speaking of stimulating business deals, Bonnie you can sit onein my lap any day…. I’ll bite
and call you Mommy!
By JosephineDoody on 08-09-12 @ 4:58 pm
Congratulations, Loggy.
You and your buddy, Fake Fiscal Conservative Jeff Zauner, have officially run out of argument. But
go ahead and double down anyway. The voters of Kalispell will have this on the ballot in 2013, and
you will be forced to fund your own recreational proclivities.
You have completely underestimated the taxpayers of Kalispell and I suspect they’re about to show
you that they are not “too stupid to vote” as you have stated time and time again.
It’s time you take your bat and balls and go home. You lost this game when you told the citizens of
Kalispell they were “too stupid to vote.”
By LogicalOne on 08-09-12 @ 5:24 pm
You are a ranter and raver and bad behaver, Doodybrain. You and Scott Davis must
breath the same polluted air and it’s choking your logical pathways.
Since when did this become about ME winning or loosing?
You are gathering up, in your mind, the collective consciousness of the entirety of the
19,000 voters and then using that gathering to declare “they” showed me” something.
My opinion that the majority of voters will not have a clue what they are really voting for in
the long run is valid…. you high brows coined the phrase “too stupid”.... not me.
Where did you get the facts that pilots were not paying for the airport, and now, all of a
sudden pilots need to pay or the citizens will take it away? The former is false. the later is
false!
If the voters vote to over turn the Council’s FAA funding vote…. the option they vote for
funds the airport HOW, Doody? What’s the funding mechanism you are voting for as
described on the petition, Doody? What? Huh? Huh? Pretty please… tell us exactly ...
and it’s right there to read in English….. WHAT FUNDS THE AIRPORT, BY VOTE… when
you win?
Suck eggs Doody. Zauner Zauner Zauner…. if it disturbs you so much! HAHAH!
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 08-09-12 @ 5:53 pm
I agree with logicalOne that some people are too stupid to vote and they would be those members of the Kalispell City Council who voted for this travesty in the first place. Thanks for pointing out
that Zauner, Gabriel, Kenyon, Atkinson and Saverud did not have a clue what they were voting for.
It looks like the way the signature gathering is going that the Kalispell citizens and tax payers also
agree that Zauner, Gabriel, Kenyon, Atkinson and Saverud did not have a clue what they were
voting for.
By LogicalOne on 08-09-12 @ 8:15 pm
Nice we finally agree on something ROC the vote…. 
If the majority of the City Council is too stupid then it would follow a majority of voters will
follow their lead.
Now can we get back to how the “new law” reads for who pays for the airport IF all you
smart people override the majority vote on record?
The topic is WHO PAYS as allowed by the words of the petition.
ROC…. anyone got the straight poop on that subject? Not a guess, please…. what it says
on that petition….
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 08-09-12 @ 8:23 pm
If Zauner, Kenyon, Atkinson, Gabriel, Saverud and a few greedy pilots want their recreational and business activites paid for then they should pay for it and not expect the citizens and tax payers of
the City of Kalispell to pay for any of it. The rest of us who pay taxes in the City of Kalispell do not
need the financial drain of this money pit of an airport.
I have a great idea of how to pay for it all without costing any tax payer a dime. Let the people who
want it pay for it. That would be Zauner, Kenyon, Atkinson, Gabriel and Saverud. Oh, I forgot
liberals only like to spend other people’s money, not their own.
By JosephineDoody on 08-09-12 @ 8:38 pm
“My opinion that the majority of voters will not have a clue what they are really voting for in the long run is valid….” - LogicalOne
There you go again, calling the Kalispell taxpayer “too stupid to vote.”
Does this mean you’re not going to sign the petition? A pity. They’ll have to succeed without you.
By Westside2 on 08-10-12 @ 12:46 am
Power to the People. Sign the petition.
By LogicalOne on 08-10-12 @ 6:26 am
There I go again , along with nearly everyone in town…. JD.
Doody, are you one of the ” too stupid” to answer the question of how the ballot initiative
provides for PAYING for the airport if you lemmings vote?
What does your “power to the people” law say you signed?
Anyone? Doody, ROC, Enraged, Ditwads…... what does your petition say?
We know the FAA pays if you loose this…. so who pays if you dorks happen to win? What
does your proposed law say?
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 08-10-12 @ 7:08 am
IllogicalOne, you need to pay for it. You want it so bad, get with your far left tax and spend buddies like Zauner, Kenyon, Atkinson, Gabriel and Saverud and put your money where your
mouth is and volunteer to pay for the airport that none of us want. Better yet get with the handful of
greedy pilots, many of whom do not live in the City of Kalispell and have them help you and your
liberal buddies pay for it. Just quit trying to get tax payers, property owners and the citizens of
Kalispell to pay for your cash cow of an airport that none of us want. None of us should have to
pay for your recreational and business activities.
This airport operates in the red now and is predicted to operate in the red into the infinite future.
You need to pay for it if you want it so bad. It does not benefit the vast majority of the 20,000 or so
citizens, business owners and tax payers in the City of Kalispell. Are you too stupid to understand
that?
By DaisyCutter on 08-10-12 @ 7:55 am
Illogical One doesn’t care one wit about the citizens of Kalispell rather, they only thing Illogical One cares about is maintaing his/her grip on taxpayer dollars to fund his recreational hobby.
Further, Illogical One clearly fails to understand that the funding source for the airport is supposed
to be….wait for it….THE AIRPORT! That’s right…enterprise funds fund themselves - that’s the
purpose of having an enterprise fund.
Illogical One is that last person to be having this discussion because he/she simply cannot grasp
the simple basics of enterprise fund v. taxpayer dollars into perpetuity. Sadly - Zauner, Kenyon,
Atkinson, Gabriel and Saverud can’t grasp it either. They are all completely out of their depth on
this issue.

LogicalOne your attitude of entitlement is juvenile. Grow up!

By LogicalOne on 08-11-12 @ 6:49 am
Still no answer on what the law you are voting for really says what funds the airport… only what you snits are hoping for and calling for. That does not do it for law making! Anyone with a quote from the law you signed up to vote for
as to how the funding will be enacted once you knuckleheads get to the poll?
I know you HOPE pilots pay for it…. but what did what you signed say ??? See ? You have just proved me right
that most voters don’t have a foggy clue what the issues are and what they are voting for. Belly up bullies!
By HP on 08-11-12 @ 7:40 am
It’s amazing the the one who calls itself “logicalone” uses no logic, but instead uses inflamitory speech!!
By 5YearLapelTac on 08-11-12 @ 11:34 am
Web Master:
“LogicalOne” is still at it with the name calling. Add Snits and Knuckleheads to the long list
of insults he/she has hurled at everyone on this thread.
“Suck eggs”, “dunces”, “homey”, “dopes”, “lemmings”, “snits”, “knuckleheads”, “your brain is
farting stew meat”...not to mention the laundry list of insults heaped upon Josephine Doody.
If “LogicalOne” is incapable of carrying on a cogent debate without hurling insults, it’s time
to pull the plug. “LogicalOne” is out-of-control, and could possibly benefit from the
procurement of professional psychotherapy.
By LogicalOne on 08-11-12 @ 11:58 am
Perhaps you have thin skin and don’t speak colloquial native Montanan language. The question asked is what does the ballot initiative say about funding? Everyone has thrown out their own little nasties but no one has addressed the
issue perhaps the editor of the Beacon can tell us what the ballot initiative says about funding? You only can think of
stopping the dialogue from your detractors ...ME. ... Instead of answering the question no one has faced up to yet
and I don’t know myself .... so prove yourself the smart group and educate us!!!
By Am Trans on 08-12-12 @ 12:35 pm
I wasn’t gonna file a complaint unless I heard the ultimate disrespect thrown. I’m still waiting for DooDooHead. LOL
You all are hilarious.
By LogicalOne on 09-15-12 @ 9:40 am
I see no news about whether or not the required number of signatures were presented by 5PM Friday… which now has passed.
Anyone know if the party is at the airport?
