You say you don't care about politicians' personal lives and you wish the press and opponents would just stick to the issues?

Though we have suffered a 2-month drought this summer, there is plenty of newsworthy chuckles raining down on us. Thank goodness there's always a monsoon of morons to be made fun of.

 

Letters to the Editor

Maybe residents ought to pay for their garbage

In the article, “County looking for help with trash troubles” [The Citizen, Aug. 11], it was reported that Fayette County is encountering greater and greater problems in the disposal of solid waste. Along with the discussion of where to stash our trash for perpetuity, waste reduction must become an equally important factor. Before any attempt is made to find a suitable location for, and subsequent creation of, a new landfill, Fayette County residents need to know that there are serious pollution problems at the First Manassas Mile landfill, as there are at many landfills. Then, they can decide intelligently whether they want an additional landfill in their backyard.

Give up gas golf carts, wood stoves

PTC Council ignores church appeal's issues

I was appalled at the way in which the proceedings were conducted at the Aug. 5, 1999 Peachtree City City Council meeting during the public hearing segment involving the appeals by the Peachtree City Methodist Church and a homeowner in the Robinson Road area. I have attended various such meetings in other counties and never have I witnessed such inappropriate behavior on the part of some of the council members or the audience.

Other school tax means must be sought

Once again this county resembles a house divided over a rather basic and simple-to-understand issue: Are the citizens willing to dig deeper (once again) to pay for new physical plants, teaching facilities, and equipment, and heaven forbid, athletic equipment.

Yes vote if ugly trailers are replaced at schools

I can promise my vote in favor of the SPLOST in September, if the school board can tell me when the “permanent” trailers will be removed from schools like Huddleston Elementary and Booth Middle School.
