Narrative:
I sat on the tarmac at the FBO over 45 minutes after receives my IFR clearance for departure. Every time a pilot would request taxi clearance ground control's reply was to hold all taxi request s until she had handled all incoming traffic. There must be a better system. Separating the areas of the ground among different controllers; or build another runway to allow more timely landings and departures. I have flown at this airport many years both for training and general aviation use. They need some help.
