LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

F'ville ignores Northside decay, pushes Southside

Well, it looks as if the mayor and City Council will go ahead and approve changes to the [Fayetteville] Southside master plan, despite the concerns of their constituents and without addressing what will almost surely be increased traffic problems.

Affirmative action: A fable

My wife and I attended a get-together of church friends the other night. My wife and I only knew only about half of them. The hosts served some of the most memorable beef tenderloin roast and mashed potatoes and gravy I've ever had.

Schumacher was devoted servant

A tribute to Rich Schumacher:

Raise tobacco tax to 75¢ a pack

Trent Lott: It's what in your heart that really matters

I believe we would do well to listen to Jesus as we digest the Trent Lott saga. Jesus said, "Pay attention and try to understand what I mean. The food that you put into your stomach doesn't make you unclean ... the bad words that come out of your mouth are what make you unclean ... Don't any of you know what I am talking about by now? Don't you know that the food you put into your mouth goes into your stomach and then out of your body? But the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart. And they are what make you unfit to worship God. Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others. These are what make you unclean" (Matthew 15:10-20).

Now, out of left field, Mayor [Steve] Brown changes his stance once again, does not like the new Agreement, and calls for the resignation of all Development Authority members and Virgil Christian. What is going on?

Mayor, please explain mess on Hwy. 54 West

After reading in the paper [Mayor Steve Brown's] self-laudatory letter regarding the virtues and beauty of Peachtree City, long established before [he] came to power, can he please explain the mountains of debris opposite the Day's Inn at the entry to our fair city.
