Free speech to be put to a vote in
PTC Thurs.
Peachtree City Councilman Dan
Tennant plans to introduce a right-of-reply ordinance
at Thursday night's council meeting.
Your opinions – pro, con or
otherwise – are welcome here
We have over the years published
a wide variety of comment in our letters to the
editor forum, always with the view that we want to
offer a public forum for any and all citizens to have
their say on whatever they want to write about.
Republican strategy: Divide or lose?
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
John McCain wanted to lead the
Republican Party off in a new direction, but instead
he may be doing Democrats' bidding and leading it
back to Losersville.
PTC libel case: I am afraid for all

One Citizen's Perspective
We've got T-R-O-U-B-L-E, right
here in Fayette County, with a capital “T”
and that rhymes with “G” and that stands
for Government. This is how I see it, “one
citizen's perspective.”
Bush-Gore begin long fall campaign
By LEE NL HOWELL
Politically Speaking
It has taken
about a month-and-a-half longer than we expected, but
Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore
now have enough delegate votes to award them the
Republican and Democratic Party's presidential
nomination, respectively.

Letters to
the Editor
Mayor Lenox, you're not
Secretary-General of PTC Politburo
Mayor Lenox, once again you
prompt me to write you a letter concerning the manner
in which you perform the duties of your elected
office.
Lenox, City Attorneys bullying
common people
It appears Peachtree City's
distinguished Mayor Lenox has lost it. Lost his
calling to serve his constituents, lost his sight of
whose city this is, and worst of all, lost his
ability to relate to most Peachtree City citizens.
It's not your meeting, Mayor
First things first, Mayor Lenox:
I vote, so I count. And by the way, it's not your
meeting, Bob. Regardless of the circumstances of this
whole conflict-of-interest lawsuit thing, your not
letting Steve Brown speak truly is scary, as
Dan Tennant said.
How 'letters to the editor ' gave us
1st Amendment
When he was 15 years old,
working as an apprentice in his brother's newspaper,
Benjamin Franklin and his brother took issue with the
ethics of the Boston City Council on a matter
involving conflicts of interest. Fearing the wrath of
the council, his brother would not publish these
views in his paper.
Libel suit: Something sinister going
on between naptime and finger-painting?
For the record, I have never
before written a letter to the editor of any
newspaper. Selecting a title is tough, too. Like most
of you, I typically voice my opinions to friends and
relatives in what I assume are private conversations.
What happened to freedom of speech
in PTC?
After reading your March 8
issue, I must admit to be totally flabbergasted by
what is going on in our city.
What's in this for Webb firm?
Having read the recent statement
from Mr. Lindsey that was read during the March 2
Peachtree City Council Meeting, I have come to ask:
Why has the law firm continued to seek the renewal of
its contract with Peachtree City?
Do majority of PTC voters want
annexing?
Thursday night the Peachtree
City City Council lifted the annexation moratorium
that has been in place since 1997. Mayor Bob Lenox
was quoted as saying, “ I'll make a bold
statement that no one knows as much as I do about
Peachtree City.“
West side annexation should be put
to a vote of PTC citizens
I found the title to the article
regarding the Peachtree City council's decision to
lift the annexation moratorium quite fitting,
especially the part that the “mayor pushes”
that the moratorium be lifted.
While stuck in traffic, some musings
on freedom, wasted time
I appreciate your efforts to
preserve the First Amendment to the Constitution. In
a democratic society the majority always rules and
the minority has the right to be heard. Any one
wanting the best for all concerned will be objective
and look at both sides of the picture.
F'ville median project has become
nuisance
There is nothing beautiful about
the median on Ga. Highway 54. When I look at
landscaping, it tells me a lot about the personality
of the area and this is the most blah landscaping
project I have ever seen. There is no natural beauty
at all involved here.
Fayetteville driving miseries: Oh,
no, not another red light!
I became aware this morning, as
I was driving through Fayetteville on my daily trek
to work, that there is going to be another red
light in front of the Barnes and Noble shopping
center.
This is not a warning: PTC motto
should be 'To ticket and collect (taxes)
This is not a warning.
Flag symbolizes gracious people
When I was growing up in New
York and Ohio, I was taught the flag that hung over
the South during the War Between the States was
called the Southern Cross. Today, to the politically
misinformed (do they really consider themselves
politically correct?), that flag is called the
Confederate Battle Flag.
No draft dodgers in this military
family
If obfuscation and insult were
her goals, I think Mrs. Saul succeeded in her reply
to my letter about the Confederate flag. On the
subject of historical clarity, she fell a little
short.
