Doing
Justice to cheap seats, hard floors

I've seen it referred
to as the Taj Mahal. I've read about its opening earlier this year to
accommodate several county offices. But until Monday I had not felt
the pain of the new $32 million Fayette County Justice Center.

The wisteria is
trying to kill me.
Child
tax credit continues to '10
By MAC
COLLINS
Congressman
On Thursday, the
House passed the All-American Tax Relief Act of 2003 (H.R. 1308). This
bill builds on the Jobs and Growth Tax Act Of 2003, signed into law
in May, and restores many of the provisions eliminated by the conference
committee from the President's original request.
- LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Look
behind the talk: What are pols doing?
In its headline
article of last week, The Citizen reported that the county commission
had voted to freeze all hiring for both the sheriff's department and
the clerk of superior court, during the coming fiscal year. That was
done in the face of requests for 37 new positions by the sheriff, and
11 new positions by the superior court clerk.
DINOs:
These are not your father's Democrats
On Feb. 8 of this
year, I turned 60 years old. My age gives me the perspective needed
to bear witness to the great political and historical events of the
last 40 years, events that have transformed the Democratic Party into
what is fast becoming the American Socialist Party.
Tennant:
Services face hit but I pledge no new taxes
To be sure, these
are trying financial times for Peachtree City. Like many businesses
in the private sector, revenues are down and expenses are up. What a
private enterprise cannot do, of course, is simply turn the revenue
spigot on at will. A municipality can do exactly that by simply raising
taxes.

Our Shepherd gives generously to community

facts before criticizing

What
if nonsmokers were confined to small areas?
The idea of a total
ban is not ideal. What all businesses need is profit to strive in the
business world and equality to all of its consumers.
Ban
smoking immediately
I agree wholeheartedly
with Kathie Cheney. It is time to pass a smoking ban for all businesses
open to the public. The myth of "smoke protected" has harmed
enough people.
Don't
let your dog run loose
On June 1 we attended
church and chatted afterward in the church parking lot with friends
for about 30 minutes. Our friends got in their truck and were several
minutes ahead of us on the same highway. As we drove down the road plotted
with its well-appointed homes, my husband was recounting his Marine
training days. I said "Watch!" But it was too late.
Thanks
to Humane supporters
The Fayette Humane
Society is celebrating its 30th year of operation in the county. Most
of you know us as the group that performs pet adoptions at the Fayetteville
PetsMart on Saturdays. What many of you don't know is that for 30 years
our primary mission and focus has been to advocate responsible pet ownership
through our proactive spay/neuter program.
School
test opponents fail to appreciate workplace reality
Things haven't changed
that much in the 20 years since I attended high school. I had to learn
the material, and pass the numerous tests, or I wouldn't graduate.
