If ever a guy needed a dose of his own medicine . . . It is with pleasure that I read your newspaper every Wednesday, and I especially look forward to the many letters written by the concerned citizens of Fayette County. This week I read several which prompted me to offer a reply, the first being the one written by a Mr. Bob Jensen concerning the lack of decency shown to our new mayor, Mr. Steve Brown, for questioning some of his recent decisions. I have to ask Mr. Jensen, "Where have you been for the last year? Are you talking about the same Steve Brown that we've all listened to, criticizing every move made by any elected offcial in Peachtree City, and finding fault with any idea formulated by someone other than himself?" Mr. Jensen,what's good for the goose is good for the gander, so get a grip! Then I read the letter presented by Mr. Fred Wellman. Mr. Wellman, I'll probably tire of your rhetoric before the year is half over. However, in the meantime, give it your best. If ever a guy needed a dose of his own medicine, he's the one. The next item that caught my attention was the front page story about Mayor Brown authorizing a stop work order on AT&T to halt all of its work in the city. Is this another 90-day moratorium? Can we no longer make any decisions at City Hall without putting a stop to everything? My cable service has been less than questionable since they've changed over to their "improved" service. However, the crews have been back in my neighborhood working, so I assume they are aware of the problems. In the meantime, I'll check out the satellite services being offered. I would just like to know how AT&T can correct any problems if they're not allowed to work. I think back now to election time when Mr Brown was so critical of his primary opponent, and questioned his qualifications for the job of mayor. Shouldn't we all be glad Mr. Brown spends three days a week in his real job shuffling papers in a dental office rather than piloting a commercial airliner? Can you imagine, as a captain, a problem occurs, and he tells his crew, "Turn off all the engines while we figure out what's wrong and what we have to do to fix it." Where are you, Gary Rower, when we need you? Bernie Rosenbach Peachtree City
