Appalled by complaints After reading your recent articles and letters to the editor about Fayette Senior Services and having heard horror stories from several past employees (front-line types) there, I am appalled that the Fayette County government, Atlanta Regional Commission, United Way representatives, and Peachtree City and Fayetteville governments continue to filter monies to them. I am also surprised that this issue has not been investigated sooner. Further, I think the Center has a board of directors and I wonder why action has not been taken by them to investigate the situation and terminate the director and staff responsible for the discontent of seniors. Fayette Senior Services should be a safe haven for senior citizens to come. Providing a happy, non-stressful, less rules-driven environment should be the goal. Keeping them productive should be first and foremost in the eyes of management there. I read that the solution by the current director is that they need more space to accommodate their needs. However, when visiting the Center, one might find very few seniors in attendance and those there doing very little. Senior citizens deserve respect, love and kindness. I would never allow my parents to go there and I wouldn't want any other senior there as well until corrective action is taken. As citizens, we should never let this happen to our seniors and as government entities, we should continue to question those that come to ask for monies. I cannot donate monies to an agency that abuses seniors. Kathryn Harmsen Peachtree City
