Author    Post   Steve Myers Site Admin The City Council has again blocked a prominent church leader from the Bishop Airport Authority board. By a 7-1 vote, the council rejected appointing Bishop Odis A. Floyd to a two-year term on the panel. The council voted to delay consideration of Floyd, a nominee of Mayor Don Williamson, for six months in March after rejecting his appointment in January. Only 1st Ward Councilman Darryl E. Buchanan supported the appointment Monday. The fight over Floyd, a Mt. Morris resident who heads the New Jerusalem Full Gospel Baptist Church, is one of several contentious issues between Williamson and the council. Members have said they oppose Floyd because he doesn't live in Flint and they believe he would be part of a Williamson effort to remove airport Director James L. Rice. Floyd's supporters have countered that the council has approved nonresidents in the past, and city officials deny that the mayor wants to remove Rice.
