Narrative:

Aircraft X routinely does parachute operations on the departure end of gpi. Business owner; pilot; and gpi tower have all been notified multiple times of the unsafe proximity of their jump operation to arriving and departing aircraft. The jump plane had been issued traffic departing gpi; and still let his jumpers go. Departing aircraft from gpi reporting seeing the parachute lines within close proximity to him. Jump aircraft receives traffic advisories but gives no heed to his proximity of other aircraft. It is just a matter of time before something catastrophic happens. Jump aircraft should be required to coordinate jumps with ATC. ATC should have authorization to deny a jump with aircraft in close proximity. Pilot of jump aircraft should be subject to questioning for multiple unsafe drops with other aircraft.
