Where's
the vision in Washington?

You've probably
read more than your fill in this space about the tax cut situation,
but there's more.
Time

Citizen's Perspective
There are times
in our lives when we catch a wind in our sails and we set ourselves
free, when the simplest of life's offerings beckon us to leave off from
ourselves for a while. These are the times when we take a step inward
and onward, and meet new challenges face on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
If
we picked employees like elected officials, we'd have a warped system
Imagine you're the
boss, trying to hire a new worker for the business. Some candidates
come to interview, but you cannot ask them questions. They only tell
you what they want you to know, and you've got to pick the candidate
you think is best from whatever you can glean from short visits they
pay you at their convenience.
Response
to letter about auto-pay service
In the "Letter
to the Editor" section of your newspaper dated Wednesday, July
25, 2001, I read the opinion piece entitled "AT&T's auto-pay
is wrong" written by Mr. Jim Lowe. I would like to take this opportunity
to respond to his concerns regarding the auto-payment program recently
implemented by AT&T Broadband-Atlanta.
No
energy' policy has gone on long enough
The current energy
crisis, with high gasoline prices, rolling blackouts in California,
and natural gas prices through the roof, is the result of the "no
energy" policy of the Clinton-Gore Administration.
Peachtree
City needs sound budgetary action to prevent future problems
One of the budget
issues raised by Councilman Steve Rapson at the July 19 PTC Budget Workshop
was that we ought to look at delaying (not eliminating) the west-side
fire station.
Absence
makes the heart grow fonder: Councilman still ready to serve
Dear Fellow Citizens,
Principal
accepting award was wrong
I am appalled that
Dr. Charles Warr accepted money from Enlight Atlanta for taking actions
to prevent a particular form of bullying. Wouldn't it be in the interest
of fairness and equality that all differences from the "norm"
be given the same importance and protection as homosexuality? After
all, isn't one student just as important as any other student - whether
gay or straight.
We
need a solid energy policy that's environment-friendly
When it comes to
power, why don't we put slow moving modified windmills into the gulf
stream at the bottom of the ocean? If I am elected next year I will
work to secure funds for this type of project. By putting more of a
strain on our natural gas supplies the cost will only become worse for
gas consumers. And as for power plants that cause excessive pollution
their days need to be numbered. The state needs a solid energy plan
that helps the environment and is diversified enough to withstand even
the worst emergencies.
