Yes, I have moved to Canada, but I keep in touch through your paper being delivered to me here and also I recently visited Peachtree City and was brought up to date on many things involving the city.

I read Steve Brown and Steve Fodor's letters to the editor and commend them on their assessment of council happenings. I was disappointed to know that our mayor limited, not just the time, but the number of citizens that wished to speak against the already done deal of Home Depot.

Even though Mayor Bob Lenox never gave us the satisfaction of actually hearing our words, the one thing that the Concerned Citizen's committee accomplished was that he allowed anyone to speak at council meetings. Evidently there were a number of citizens that wanted to be heard concerning Home Depot.

Even petitions don't seem to make a difference. We tried that with the apartments a few years back and they were ignored.

And what was the point of the Traffic Task Force? Council ignored the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the Home Depot site plan and now the mayor says he doesn't know what is left for the Task Force to do.

If it's true that rezonings etc. are carved in stone from years back and that nothing or no one can protect the quality of life in Peachtree City, why doesn't city council just tell the citizens not to even bother caring.

And as for the city attorney, James Webb and firm, how can they possibly be a city staff selection to represent the city when they are so intertwined with Pathways (P.C.D.C.) and the new Bank of Georgia?
