Flogging nonvoters: Back off, Mayor
Bob
Editorial
Peachtree City Mayor Bob Lenox
— a well-off entrepreneur — has a few good
ideas. And a lot of bad ones.
New transportation plan = new power
grab
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
If the Atlanta Regional
Commission's new Regional Transportation Plan reveals
anything, it's the degree to which our governments
are mired in self-perpetuating bureaucratic muck.
President shares blame for treaty
By LEE N.HOWELL
Politically Speaking
The defeat
last week of the latest nuclear non-proliferation
treaty brings to a screeching halt — and
possibly slams the door shut completely — on the
long commitment by the United States to reduce the
threat of nuclear war by redu cing the numbers of
weapons that are built or tested.

outta MY town!

- Even the mosquitoes in
Peachtree City are elitists. They seem to be
carriers of a communicable virus that strikes
almost every person who moves into town before
the engine on their SUV gets cold.

Letters to
the Editor
Lenox vote threat smells of
Orwellian Big Brotherism
This morning's edition of the
Fayette County section of the Atlanta Journal
Constitution alluded to your “new plan to
encourage higher voter turnout.” By obtaining a
list of voters who participated in elections (or
conversely, who don`t participate), you are
apparently going to determine who will merit your
attention and support. Woe be unto them who fail to
vote. Will a permission slip suffice if on Nov. 2 one
is in the hospital or out town on an emergency?
Tennant responds to columnist'
charges
An article by a lifestyle
columnist in the Oct. 13 edition of The Citizen
contained several highly inflammatory and offensive
labels regarding my character. I have never met nor
have I ever spoken to the columnist, but I was very
disappointed with her remarks. Fortunately, in the
same issue, the newspaper's editor and publisher
wrote an editorial in my defense. He rightly
proclaimed the columnist's remarks to be
“mean-spirited, self-righteous, and
insupportable... and a fatuous leap of
ideology-blinded illogic.”
'Liberal journalist' brother decries
attact on Tennant
This refers to the opinion piece
by Sallie Satterthwaite entitled “Please, not in
Peachtree City.”
Sallie's column against Tennant
fails the elementary logic test
It was quite a surprise to open
the Oct. 13 Citizen and encounter a lively political
article by the Lifestyle columnist Sallie
Satterthwaite. My wife and I enjoy Ms.
Satterthwaite's lifestyle columns. I especially
delight in her travelogues about her journeys abroad.
Sallie's should have checked with
Village residents
Sallie Satterthwaite certainly
wrote a venomous column for the Oct. 13 Citizen. I
have to take issue with her comments on people she
meets on the path and her observations of what is
obviously the community where I live, Village Park.
Column hit too close to home for Cal
My mother was a wise woman and
she often would tell me that the truth can hurt. From
your editorial on Sallie Satterthwaite's article,
“Please, not in Peachtree City,” it was
obvious that the truth pained you to the point that
you felt justified in trashing one of your employees
opinion. Isn't journalism suppose to present all
sides or have my notion of the press been
misconstrued.
Candidate Ewing vouches for Tennant
As a conservative Christian
candidate running for election, I know that character
plays an important role in getting elected.
Unfortunately, there are times when the debate over
the issues dwindles away and accusations about the
character of the candidates take its place. When
dealing with a candidate's reputation in the public
arena, it is of the utmost importance to insure that
the information that you are providing is completely
accurate.
Sallie is on track with her
criticisms
Peachtree City has evolved into
the wonderful place it is today through the efforts
of several decades of dedicated and diverse public
officials and volunteers. Sallie Satterthwaite, by
the way, is the consummate example —
councilwoman, EMT, churchwoman, etc. for
approximately 30 years. I am a 27-year resident who
never fit into all the categories of Mr. Tennant's
definition of the type of person who should be on the
city council. I resent his narrow perspective and
fear he cannot represent all the citizens of
Peachtree City.
