Murderer
of abortion doc himself a purveyor of twisted, evil logic
By
DOUG PATTON
Paul Hill was put
to death in Florida last week. The former Presbyterian minister went
to meet his Maker with a smile on his face, a lie in his heart and a
boatload of twisted logic in his mind.
1
day not enough to celebrate our grandparents and all they do
By
JENNIFER GAYNOR
[Editor's note:
Grandparents Day was Sept. 7, although the occasion was listed on only
one of four calendars in the editor's office.]
- LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
School
shortfall result of bad planning by BOE
Our Georgia law
requires the school board to publish a notice of property tax increase
and to hold hearings for concerned citizens. Usually the most obscure
and least read newspaper in the county is selected to publicize these
hearings. The minimum number of officials show up for the meeting, where
they are prepared to sit, stone-faced and dummy-like, to hear, but without
really listening, any citizen foolish enough to think his opinion could
make any difference.
If
'Mayor Annex' were still in, what would PTC look like?
I had to smile as
I read the article about Pathway Communities (formerly the Peachtree
City Development Company) losing its zoning appeal against Fayette County.
Like I didn't see that coming.
Time
to provide for those who bike, walk
Two and a half years
ago my family moved to Peachtree City after 10 years of residence in
Henry County. The reason for the move was the traffic had gotten so
bad we could no longer leave our small subdivision by bicycle, let alone
by foot.
What
are plans for Line Creek Cemetery?
What does Fayette
County plan to do with the Line Creek Baptist Church Cemetery situation?
What if the church and land sells to someone who wants to destroy the
cemetery? What if another church buys it and has no interest in the
cemetery?
Where
else is 'God' used?
Alabama Chief Justice
Roy Moore has been told that he must remove the Ten Commandments from
the courthouse rotunda. The Ten Commandments are carved in stone on
the U.S. Supreme Court Building. Maybe that is why the justices refused
to hear the case.
Letter
mocking Bible full of errors, misunderstandings
Mr. Timothy J. Parker's
letter satirizing the Old Testament and disseminating false notions
about the Bible, the Constitution, and our nation was interesting, but
completely wrong.
Focus
on the important issues
Change your issues,
please.
New
city position unwise in current financial climate
I recently wrote
a letter to the editor suggesting that, given the current economy, this
is not a good time to create a new $106,000 position of assistant city
manager and that if the new city manager is not able to do his job,
perhaps he is not the right man for the job.
Tax
stand is matter of principle
Several months ago,
I made it clear as a campaign promise that I would not support higher
taxes for Peachtree City residents, and would work toward a zero percent
millage increase for the upcoming fiscal year. That was and remains
a promise I take very seriously.
End
the negativity in PTC
Since the last election,
Peachtree City has moved into a time of political negativity unprecedented
in its short history. This is unnecessary and appears to be pretty contagious.
We all live here, and some of us work here, because this is an excellent
community. We are made up of bright, talented, hard-working, honest
and positive people. We have unlimited community spirit. We have good
values. And we have a lot to be proud of.
Parents,
take responsibility for your children's safety
I have been an employee
of the Fayette County Board of Education since 1990, most recently,
as a bus driver. I resigned my position before the start of school this
year for many reasons.
Local
restaurants act responsibly, provide rides home for drinkers
This letter is in
response to Kathie Cheney of Peachtree City, who wrote asking about
the level of responsibility exhibited by local restaurants. She suggested
"the level of responsibility already shown by their actions should
determine your decision" on Tyrone's liquor-by-the-drink ruling.
Cheers
for Mike's Wayne story
