Tax cut bill: No relief for many who pay mortgage insurance

New Tax Bill: What's in it for Homeowners?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A sunny dispatch from retail: 'My pleasure!'

Retail has changed in my lifetime. OK, lots of things have changed. Now I don't want to become my parents, but sometimes I get irritated at the way I'm treated in retail establishments. I try not to show it, and anymore I don't even notice some of the rudeness extended to me; it just seems normal these days.

PAC officers object: No candidates yet chosen

In the Wednesday, June 4 edition of The Citizen on page 6A you published an e-mail from the mayor of Peachtree City entitled, "Authority's finances for 10 years pose questions." The last paragraph of the mayor's e-mail mentions our organization, DIRECT PAC.

Group dissatisfied with 'tone, direction' of PTC government

Though we appreciate the mayor's interest in our activities, we politely correct him. DIRECT PAC has not endorsed Mr. Tennant. In fact, we have not yet endorsed any candidate for the council seats to be contested in the next election.

Tennant: Brown's e-mail contains at least 12 lies

I received an e-mail from Steve Brown yesterday (attached). The mayor has chosen a path of personal destruction to attempt to discredit me, and I am certain he will continue on the warpath until election day.

Clarification: Council didn't approve of mayor's letter

Council member [Annie] McMenamin called me Friday and asked that I forward her concern about the introduction to the two letters on Page 6A in last Wednesday's edition. It reads, "The following e-mail was provided to The Citizen as part of an exchange between Mayor Steve Brown, members of the Peachtree City Council and the city's Development Authority."

Why, in a built-out city, does the library need expanding?

My family moved here several years ago because of the lifestyle afforded by Peachtree City. As I take a drive through town, however, I'm troubled at the amount of money that's being spent unnecessarily.

Don't assume bad motives

I read the recent letter that was critical of an officer who drove at a high rate of speed on Huiet Road before stopping in a recreation area and exiting his patrol car.

Don't confuse Clayton State with county schools

There is, unfortunately, some confusion in the region.

Unconditional love does not endorse sinful acts

Please permit one more response to Jeff Ellis's pain caused by the perceived lack of acceptance of his son's homosexuality. As a parent, my heart is deeply saddened by the pain the Ellis family is suffering. It is wonderful that the Ellises love their son unconditionally, as they should.

Give businesses what they want: Pass smoking ban now

Give business what they are waiting for. They know how to contain the smoker's overflowing waste, the waste that can make you sick enough to die. We showed them five years ago how to do it more cost-effectively using their current ventilating system. However, they are waiting for you to fix the problem.

Carpe diem and make most of your college experience

As I watch the Class of 2003 hang their graduation tassels from their rearview mirrors and drive toward the great beyond of college, I reflect on the myriad experiences and lessons I've gained in the year since I packed up everything I'd acquired over the past 18 years and left Fayette County.
