With
Gov. Perdue's initiative, state ethics board gets teeth
By ROBERT
HIGHSMITH
Deputy Executive Counsel to Gov. Sonny Perdue
In 1987, the General
Assembly changed the name of the "State Campaign and Financial
Disclosure Commission" to the "State Ethics Commission."
It mightn't have bothered; the former name much more accurately describes
the Commission's limited jurisdiction.
- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
PTC
library expansion would meet 20-year need
The Peachtree City
Library has run out of space! Capacity has been reached while demands
for services have continued to expand.
Stereotypes
take a beating in this path-trashing story
While sitting in
my backyard this week, I noticed a group of uniformed soccer players
cleaning the cart path next to my house, or so I thought!
Important
issues for '04: Job loss to overseas, runaway debt
I enjoyed Raymond
Keating's editorial on immigration even though I totally disagreed with
him. I would like put my two cents worth in on the immigration issue
and
discuss a few more important issues briefly:
Development
should come under big box rule
I have been reading
with great interest the coming of Target to the Phase II section of
Kedron Village. Could someone please show the public record of the "grandfathered"
document or city council vote which recorded this opinion?
Traffic
plans for Target will produce safety hazards
The site plan for
the Target store at the Kedron Village Shopping Center foretells a serious
traffic hazard. Target's main entrance/exit is planned to be on Georgian
Park, directly across from Regent's Park. This will bring heavy traffic
to Georgian Park this "village collector" road was never meant
to handle, and it will create a dangerous intersection. Worse, it is
unprecedented in Peachtree City to put the main entrance/exit for a
major shopping center directly across from the only way in or out of
five residential neighborhoods.
Kedron
homeowners united in opposition to current plan
As presented, the
Kedron Village Shopping Center will become one of the largest retail
centers in Peachtree City. Georgian Park is a "Village Collector
Road" designed to provide access to the local residents and is
not appropriate for use as a feeder to a retail development planned
as a regional shopping center.
Robust
debate provides citizen input on DAPC
I thought that the
robust debate at the last council meeting was invigorating. We discussed
the real issues face-to-face, citizen-to-council, without a middle man.
We spoke our minds and made our feelings known and that is democracy
at its best.
Councilman
Tennant: Let's take more time for good plan
I have read everything
you have said regarding the DAPC in recent issues of The Citizen. While
there is no doubt that needed change is coming in the management of
these venues, I simply came to the conclusion that the city was not
prepared or equipped to run these facilities in 30 days.
Did
Tennant get special treatment in letter rebuttal?
I was quite intrigued
by the articles that were published in The Citizen concerning Mr. Schwanitz
and Mr. Tennant. I am unaware of your company policy as it relates to
editorials being published about elected city officials and candidates.
Candidate
Kourajian: City, DAPC must work together
The city budget,
big box development, and traffic have all been given a back seat lately
to the ongoing challenges confronting the tennis center and amphitheater.
Bankruptcy
letter too much even for political campaign
I feel compelled
to write about a disturbing letter that I read in the PTC political
section of your newspaper. This particular article on local politics
went too far, even for a political campaign.
Tennant
friend chastises paper for publishing letter
Let me begin by
acknowledging that I am a friend of Dan Tennant. I have known him for
11 years. He is an honorable and ethical man. He does not lie, steal,
cheat, or engage in gossip and innuendo. He loves and provides for his
family. He cares about Peachtree City and has a public record that his
opponents can engage him on.
Good
job on Fayette history
I want to commend
The Citizen for the wonderful series on Fayette's history! Thank you
for opening up so much that we do not know, and I look forward to the
next installment.
