- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
-
- Critic
is off-base on Solicitor Harris’s car
Mr. Myers, shame
on you. I don’t know who you are, and I have never seen you at
any of the county Republican breakfasts, meetings, or other political
events. I bet you don’t even live in Fayette County, but instead
in Upson County, because you have no clue as to the services rendered
by my husband, Steve Harris. I tried to look up your name in the phone
book, but it wasn’t listed; ours is.
Harris
got car despite commission policy
I read the letter
to the editor about Solicitor General Steve Harris’ car use and
I knew I had read something about this same controversy before. I searched
on Google and found it on The Citizens’ archive page at http://www.thecitizennews.com/main/archive-030611/news/fp-01.html.
Basically, it was a June 11, 2003 article written by The Citizen’s
John Thompson called, “County to lower taxes, freeze hiring”
in which he described the county’s final budget battle.
Free
car for solicitor is abuse of public trust
It’s really
sad that I am not the least surprised by the hypocrisy practiced by
our local political officials. One only has to read about the financial
chaos surrounding the Development Authority of Peachtree City (DAPC)
and the county’s subsequent involvement to realize that the taxpayer
always ends up holding the bag. So, Solicitor Steve Harris’ abuse
of his office and the Fayette taxpayers by passing on the cost of his
commute to the hard-working men and women of this county should not
surprise anyone.
Put
school concerts in The Citizen calendar
I appreciate the
paper delivered to me weekly, but I’m still looking for a listing
of the Christmas (winter) musical programs of the local high schools.
I called the schools last year and got the information I needed to attend
these concerts.
Peace,
peace and the attacks on U.S. heritage
I could have predicted
it. The liberal voices defending the Peace tree bemoaned the narrowness
of their opponents, reminded us of the real history of the Christmas
tree, and chastised us for spending our time on such silly issues while
people starve.
No
pagan history lesson needed
I guess all of us
conservative, right wing, holy-rollers got a good lesson about the Christmas
tree. Thank you! However, the whole point of the letter was missed.
I don’t believe anything was mentioned about the origins of the
Christmas tree. But then again, this is nothing new for the liberals
out there, trying to distract the public from discussing the issue at
hand.
Pros
and cons of subsidized housing in PTC
Being a member of
the board of the Homeowners Association for Wynnmeade subdivision has
granted me the opportunity to observe and learn how subsidized housing
(HUD) operates in a county that is well endowed with money as well as
influential residents.
Good
hands? Insurance woes raise questions
My letter doesn’t
concern elections or any news for the in-crowd in Peachtree City, but
will be of interest to senior citizens in our county.
