Attend Dec. 16 PTC Council to stand
against big box invasion
Are you concerned with the
development of big box stores in Peachtree City? Do
you fear that the added traffic will pose a threat to
the safety and welfare of our citizens? Do you wonder
what will become of our city's quality of life if
these big boxes are thrust upon us? If you are
concerned about these issues then you need to be
present at the Peachtree City Council meeting Dec. 16
to make your concerns heard.
What if a child is casualty of city
traffic engineers' plan for hwys. 54-74?

Over-65 taxpayers have nothing to
fear from school bonds

I wrote the first of what turned out to be a series

order to eliminate trailers, than the group who
eventually pay for a new police station or jail.
Why no equal time with grand jury to
oppose jail?
I would like to express my
concern over the apathetic attitude taken by the
mayor and City Council of Fayetteville regarding the
county prison expansion proposed to take place within
our downtown city corridor. Why are these voted
officials with whom we entrust the welfare of our
city not taking a public stand against the jail
expansion location?
