Rapson is a leader, both 'real' and 'reachable'

As you are all aware, leadership is an essential part of both business and personal lives. Without leadership based on sound fundamental principles and integrity, our form of government cannot earn the respect of its constituents nor effectively manage the necessary day to day operations that we so often take for granted, especially here in Peachtree City.

My pastor often refers to our city as the "magic kingdom" because of the many amenities and conveniences that we enjoy in this community. One of the reasons we enjoy such a high quality of life in Peachtree City is because of the leadership of our local government officials and their staff.

Steve Rapson has served Peachtree City as both its chief financial officer and, currently, as a member of our City Council. For many years now, Steve has been an integral part of the management and planning of our great city. He has earned my respect for his business acumen, professional ethics, and his willingness to serve the community. We need leaders like Steve Rapson on our City Council.

Too often we are disappointed in those who hold elected office because we failed to get involved in the process and support qualified candidates. Please take the time to consider what a lack of good leadership in our new City Council might mean to you, your families, and our community.

Most politicians don't bother to listen to what their constituents want. However, we have found Steve Rapson to not only listen, but also to address the same concerns we have as citizens. How refreshing it is to have someone on the City Council that is "real" and "reachable."

Please join us in voting to elect Steve Rapson on Nov. 6. God bless you and God bless America.

Jim and Cindy Fallon
