To:
Members, Development Authority of Peachtree City
From:
R. Scott Bradshaw
Re: Reasons for my resignation from the DAPC
I submitted my resignation
from the Development Authority of Peachtree City effective this date
and owe you an explanation because of your kindness during my tenure
on the Authority. Your sense of commitment as individuals and your willingness
to spend many thankless hours on Authority business are a decided asset
to the Authority. Another strength of the authority is the strong unity
of purpose and compatibility that exists within the group. My sense
is that my resignation will make it easier for you to maintain unity
of purpose and compatibility in resolving the issues and problems facing
the Authority.
Authority
should fire director, then offer their own resignations
By
CAL BEVERLY
Publisher
It's clear now,
even to the willfully blind, the Development Authority of Peachtree
City (DAPC) is incapable of managing its own financial affairs. And
it's similarly clear that the Authority's executive director is out
of control. He should be fired forthwith.
Conservatives
differ in views on government, business, immigration
By
RAYMOND J. KEATING
Chief Economist
Small Business Survival Committee
Those of us who
call ourselves conservatives obviously agree on a wide range of political,
economic, cultural and philosophical issues. If we didn't, conservatism
would be meaningless. However, this doesn't mean we agree on everything.
- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Griffin
Tech pioneered ESL classes in Fayette
This letter is in
response to your reporter J. Frank Lynch's article entitled, "Local
church leads the way with English outreach to immigrants." His
story was about the English as a Second Language (ESL) program at the
First Baptist Church in Fayetteville.
With
realistic prices, Shadows' recipes live on at new location
As one of the owners
of Mike and C's, I felt that a response was in order in regards to "Restaurant's
passing leaves dark shadow" [Letters, The Citizen, Sept. 17].
Kourajian
runs in PTC

Price
announces for F'ville #1
On Nov. 4, 2003,
the city of Fayetteville will have an election for Post 1 on city council.
This year a new candidate with fresh ideas will be available for the
voters choice. Wilson Price is that candidate.
City
budget crunch can be traced to four causes
Peachtree City has
a new budget for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, and the city's running
a deficit.
Tennant's
financial history includes filing bankruptcy
I attended the Sept.
4 Peachtree City Council meeting at which the FY 2004 city budget was
voted on. Council member Dan Tennant voted against it, then read a prepared
statement explaining his reasoning. His attempt was to convince us he
isn't playing politics and is fiscally responsible. That's just not
the case.
Tennant:
I made mistakes, but learned from them, too
Divorce is a very
difficult thing to endure, not only the actual process, but the aftermath,
particularly when children are involved. I went through a painful divorce
in 2000, but have subsequently married a wonderful woman, Robin, and
"inherited" a terrific stepson, Shelby. Robin, Shelby, my
two young sons and I have created a very happy and fun-loving new blended
family. Regrettably, my relationship with my ex-wife is still strained,
and that is very unfortunate.
Crash
landing story slanted
As usual I am shocked
at the slant reporters and editors tend to put on their stories, in
particular the quote by [Peachtree City Fire Chief] Stony Lohr that
indicates the airplane that crash-landed was a "flying gas tank."
School
board must place children's safety at top
I have been watching
the controversy over the school busing with great interest because I
have a 5-year-old grandson that goes to school and he has lost his ride.
PTC's
cart path system going to the dogs . . . and cats, too
I agree with Mr.
Sutliff in that the path system in Peachtree City is going to the dogs.
When we moved to Peachtree City in 1984 there was much more appreciation
for the cart path system and people showed that appreciation by keeping
their animals on leashes.
Bible
contradictory on many issues, can be taken differently
Congratulations,
Mr. Hoffman, for countering my letter with the most elaborately Southern
and almost painfully simple "love every one and help them along
to Christ" motto-ridden letter.
