The
sound of Christmas carols in the air

Here's a Christmas
carol story.
Have
a Lott of Merry Christmas
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
I
am so happy and cheery and ready for Christmas. I feel like every kid
in every Christmas poem. I feel like a nutcracker dipped in eggnog rolled
in chestnuts. I am excited about Christmas this year from my stockinged
head down to my mistletoe. But, wait. It seems a Grinch would steal
all my holiday joy. Amidst all this cheer, a story with a heart two
sizes too small is stealing Santa's thunder.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
PTC
Mayor responds to Chamber criticism
It is a pleasure
to work with businesses and industries in Peachtree City. I am grateful
for the support that I have received from our local businesses.
PTC
is now perceived to have 'anti-business' bias
The story in question
is actually a letter to the editor from the Fayette County Chamber of
Commerce Chairman Michael Hofrichter, who appears to be speaking for
the Board of Directors, or perhaps the entire membership of the Chamber.
The letter is probably the most accurate and complete accounting of
Mayor Steve Brown's actions that has ever been published in your newspaper.

In response to the
recent article concerning the collective resignation of the "volunteers"
who sit on the Peachtree City Development Authority, I would like to
enlighten the average citizen on a few important facts regarding two
particular individuals mentioned in the article, Virgil Christian and
Tate Godfrey.
Authority
would be fired at any private company
Well, I'm back.
I have been very quiet for some time. Frankly it was more interesting
watching than participating. Our new mayor and mostly new council have
been working overtime. Ever since our former mayor Bobby made the 6
o'clock news trying to press criminal charges on our current mayor for
misappropriation of $8 and change in services, it's been pretty quiet.
Even his cadre ran for cover. But, as things happen, there is almost
always a new dragon just around the corner.
Authority's
numbers, judgment don't add up
Your article on
Dec. 11 concerning the pitiful recitation of the Peachtree City mess
and its Development Authority strikes right to the heart of the fading
belief of normal citizens that political management of public affairs
is still a viable possibility. Likewise, it is a textbook case of brushing
up to the truth and presenting about as much fact as we are apt to see.
A
few businesses are going smoke-free in PTC
Thank you, Peachtree
City Wal-Mart. Along with Ruby Tuesday you are restoring my faith in
our business community. Your companies care enough about your customers
and employees to fix the problem of secondhand smoke without our having
to rely on a smoking ban.

I would love to
write a response to the Dec. 18 letter from Greg Baxter and his comments
about the DARE deputy.
