of being opposed to all taxes and all government.
Fayette is blessed with both public
servants and public activists
By AMY RILEY
One Citizen's Perspective
When I read last week that the
petitions to recall the Fayette County commissioners
had been dismissed by our local elections board
because one of the sponsors, Carl Avrit, had also
acted as notary on the documents, I was dismayed and
a little disappointed.

Property rights: What's zoning for,
anyway?
I feel compelled to respond to
Mr. Gilmer's diatribe on property rights (The
Citizen, Feb 16, 2000).

doctor perplexes me.

courage of the paper.
Local school councils will impair
public output
Gov. Barnes, for the past two
legislative sessions I have been given the honor and
privilege to serve as a senator's aide. Since I was
13, I have been fascinated and inspired by our
government, for it is truly what shapes and defines a

on the ballot?

Georgia tornado fatalities], it is not safe to be in
a manufactured home during tornadic weather.
