It's
time for peace talks in PTC squabble
By

Last week, I received
an e-mail from the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce.
Our
turn to put out a fire in department
By

Traditionally, a
fire department's primary mission is to put out fires. Modern departments
would probably update that mandate by adding fire-prevention using tools
like education and vigilance.

If Mother Goose

schools today:
Amazing
constitutional argument: Rights belong to persons, not states
By
SHELDON RICHMAN
If you want insight
into the mentality of the intellectual elite, observe the hysterical
reaction to the Bush administration's declaration that the right to
keep and bear arms is horror! an individual right.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Wheat
flailing for issues in race against Dunn
I wasn't surprised
when I read the results of a poll of the entire metro area which showed
that Fayette County residents ranked our schools, acceptance of diversity
and other areas highly. We have a wonderful community and have much
to be proud of.
Internet
reader on Jim Watson: 'He's guilty'
I am from the Fayetteville
area and have been following [the murder trial of Jim Watson] from day
one. I have recently moved to Florida and I am so thankful for the Internet
so that I can continue to follow this story.
How
about 'Jim Watson is innocent until proven guilty'?
In response to Lynn
Williams' letter about Jim Watson trial:
Mayor:
Current problems show accountability need
After grinding through
former Mayor Lenox's "I'm gonna sue you guys" letter of June
12 and the contrast of hearing Bishop Holloway speak at a Christian
men's breakfast the following Saturday, I will conclude that I am weak.
I think that it is constructive to admit that I am susceptible to doing
the wrong thing. I could not be completely honest without saying that
the easy way out looks good at times.
Why
does ex-mayor think PTC can't run without him?
Why does Bob Lenox
think the City of Peachtree City can't function without his input? His
title is not mayor in remission; it is private citizen.
Problem
may lie with egos of current PTC Council members
I must say that
I have read this paper for many years. I have been outraged by some
of the antics of our elected officials, but never so much as to be moved
to write this paper my opinion. I am now so moved.
Squire
Bob, let it go!
In keeping with
your exceptional analogy outlining the sore losers, the Peachtree City
aristocracy and the outs (shadow government), I must reply to Squire
[Bob] Lenox and his letter delivered to City Hall on behalf of all us
citizens.
Want
to stop growth? Here are effective ways
On the surface I
would agree with Bob Craft; I do not want Fayette County to turn into
a Riverdale.
Reconcile
age cutoff dates
Now is the season
for fall sign-up in Peachtree City: Baseball, roller hockey, soccer,
etc. Can someone please inform me why all Peachtree City children's
sports organizations have Aug. 1 as their age cutoff date while the
Fayette County school system's age cutoff is Sept. 1?
Williams
Co. withdrew but may reapply later
Please allow me
this opportunity to update the community on the current information,
as I know it, regarding Williams Company and the proposed power plant
on Peters Road.
Place
for dogs to play would be a great amenity in PTC
This is written
in response to Jim Stinson's question in the June 12 edition of The
Citizen asking if there is anyone out there willing to drive their dogs
to Kedron to let them run in a fenced area with no grass.
