Dan Tennant has made himself the point man in trying to calm the troubled
waters of the tennis center scandal. He sought a reversal of the city
Development Authority’s vote to resign from its management contract
overseeing the tennis center and the Fred Brown Amphitheater.
Behind
the faux finish, an imperfect place

It is 12:15 a.m.
on Saturday night, or Sunday morning if you prefer, and I’m at
the newspaper office, where I stopped off for five minutes an hour ago
to check the e-mail, download something, drop off notes, maybe write
this column.
- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Are
Target developers above the law in PTC?
I am astonished
with the situation regarding the big box retail power center targeted
for Kedron Shopping Center and the series of events that have led to
its seemingly insinuated approval.
Azura’s
painful story one of many
I’m president
of Georgia Heartland Humane Society. The facts are slightly off [in
the story about Azura, the injured dog.] Actually, Dr. Rickard and a
second opinion from Dr. Vince concluded that since this leg injury was
at least a week old, that it had already started to heal and even an
expensive operation may not help, therefore both doctors suggested crate
rest for one month and pain medication.
PTC
faces silent crisis in library
Public libraries
exist to make learning available to people from the cradle to the grave.
A public library is the equalizer in our social structure because it
offers the enhancement of knowledge and information to everyone, regardless
of race, religion, creed, income or social status.
New
library will increase kids’ section
Peachtree City is
blessed to be a melting pot of people from all over the country. From
their experiences elsewhere, most residents are aware that our library
is incredibly substandard. It only makes sense that in a town that comes
to expect and enjoy excellent schools and recreation facilities that
we have a great library.
If the voters say “YES” Nov. 4, our town will have such a
facility. The new and improved library will allow for more books and
audiovisual materials, more meeting rooms, and a larger, separate children’s
section.
Since
when did character not matter?
Why is it the catch
phrase, “Keep it within the issues,” so very popular with
candidates who have things to hide? When did it become so forbidden
to let the public know of personal indiscretions when considering a
candidate’s fitness for public office?
Who
has 2nd best job in metro?
Cal Beverly, editor
and publisher of The Citizen, has the second-best job in the Atlanta
area.
Chill
out and party some yourself, gold-seat Fred concert-goer
In response to Bill
Webster’s letter regarding Donna Romeo and “rowdy” concert-goers
at the PTC amphitheater. Firstly, Donna Romeo does a wonderful job running
the amphitheater. She is professional, friendly and very personable.
It is very easy to criticize and judge when you have no idea how hard
Ms. Romeo works to please everybody from the constant complainers to
the more loud and noisy concert-goers.
Citizens
‘Target’ city to change Kedron’s development plans
Safety
with big trucks a major concern
As a citizen of
Peachtree City I have serious concerns regarding the proposed development
for the Kedron Village Shopping Center, Phase II and Phase III. The
safety and security of the approximately 1,700 citizens living behind
the Kedron Village Shopping Center is one of the primary concerns I
have.
Why
not more logical cut from Hwy. 74?
When the Lake Kedron
area was developed there were ordinances set in place to protect those
who invested in very expensive homes in one of the highest property
tax areas in Peachtree City but it now appears that these plans and
restrictions are changing.
Still
time to keep PTC from losing its way
By now, I’m
sure you’ve received volumes of mail describing the various legalities
of the proposed new development for the Kedron Village Retail Center.
I’m not going to bore you with legalese. I’d like you to consider
the larger picture of building a retail center in the middle of a residential
community and how this might play out over time.
Where
were you for Wal-Mart battle?
Same song, different
dancers.
My only question is, “Where were the 600 citizens when Wal-Mart
and Home Depot were installed.” I would invite the Kedron 600 to
partake of trying to get to work any morning leaving via the Ga. Highway
54-Planterra entrance.
Target
plans not in keeping with PTC
The time for you
to stand up for the property rights of the citizens of Peachtree City
is at hand. Please support rejection of the current Kedron Village Shopping
Center Phase II site plan.
