We have to start demanding changes
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
If you were paying attention,
you may have noticed that I recently labeled some gun
control advocates “authoritarians” rather
than the commonly used label, “liberals.”
Despite progress, evil
hatred still here
By LEE N.HOWELL
Politically Speaking
In the
beginning — or “When God began to
create,” if you prefer that translation of the
Holy Scriptures (for the Bible was written in Hebrew
and God did not speak “the King's English”)
— God created man “in his own image.”

Letters to

Homeowners group opposes bigger jail
The Fayette County Commission
wants to spend over $60 million of taxpayers money to
expand our jail from 75 beds to one that holds 459
inmates. The jail will take in 65 acres of real
estate in downtown Fayetteville; it will dramatically
alter the character of the town we love. It will
burden us all with additional taxes. If newspaper
accounts are correct, the commission may do this
without a public vote. They have made up their minds
on this one. They have already bought the land for
it!
SPLOST supporters should donate 1%
to school board
When one looks up the words
“poor loser” in a dictionary one will find
a picture of Janet Smola.
Wilden Plastics tells its side of
recent chemical fumes incident in PTC
Wilden Plastics has endured
considerable local criticism for its handling of the
Oct. 29 incident at Wilden's Peachtree City plant.
Does owning a business disqualify
one from running for office here?
I can see as I have read and
reread the articles, ads and editorials in the
Fayette papers during this election period one might
reach the conclusion I have reached. That conclusion
being that a business person that owns and operates
any number of businesses in the city of Fayetteville,
even though they live here, work here and call
Fayetteville home, would be excluded from holding
public office.
Here before PTC, why can't we sell
land?
Peachtree City — you'll
love to call it home! Hey, you think you like it now,
you should have been here in the 1980s. It wasn't too
small, wasn't too large — just right.
“Well, I was here,” you might say.
“I've been living here a long time.” How
about the early 1970s? Remember Peachtree City then?
Don't put kids out of bus when
there's lightning about
Dear Mrs.
Bianco,
I agree with
you. You should not drop kids off in lightning. The
driver should have found a safer spot or return to
the school and have the children call their parents.
Home Depot, Wal-Mart, stay away from
PTC
Why Home Depot or Wal-Mart want
to
come to Peachtree City is beyond me.
