Dare I wade into this jail
issue?
Do 'judgement' and Christmas mix?

Politically Speaking
In The Book of
Common Prayer, the words of the prayer assigned for
reading in services held on Christmas Day seem at
first glance to have a disjointed sound to them.

- Time for me to make my
predictions for the first year of the new
millennium. Or, is it the last year of the old
millennium?
Letters to
the Editor
Has county considered alternatives
to new jail?
Several
[Fayette County] commissioners stated that if I had
questions regarding the [proposed jail and judicial
complex expansion] I should submit them in writing
and they would be happy to reply. Following are seven
questions respectfully submitted for a response from
each commissioner.
America's problems are mostly
problems of the heart
Praise God for
community leaders like you who have the courage to
stand up and call it like it is. There is nothing
“politically correct” in your column, but
you have spoken the truth like it needs to be told
— the truth that Jesus Christ and the Word of
God in the Bible have been proclaiming since the dawn
of mankind.
Tax bills contain small error
It has been brought to our
attention that there was a small glitch on the 1999
property tax bill. The error had absolutely nothing
to do with the calculation of taxes due on taxable
property for this year.
Avrit ethics case a test for free
speech, unfettered ballot box
When Paul Revere took his famous
midnight ride into Lexington, yelling “The
British are coming, the British are coming,” no
one heard him add, “This message provided by the
Patriots' Committee for Independence, Samuel Adams,
chairman, John Hancock, treasurer.”
Letter proves Fayetteville remains
'paranoid' about alcohol
I recently wrote a letter saying
that I thought Fayetteville's alcohol laws were
paranoid. I would like to thank Ms. Reagan for
responding to my letter, proving the paranoid
attitude about alcohol. She stated that I “seem
to think revenue for the local government is more
important than having dives serving drivers and
minors.” This proves my contention that
Fayetteville residents are paranoid about alcohol.
To keep government hones, keep on
'whining'
Finally, someone wants to argue
for the “big boxes.” We need more debates
on the vital issues that face our city. If the
citizens fail to get involved, we can certainly
expect to have these matters dictated to us by
specific people on the Peachtree City Council.
With PTC rolling over, look for more
big boxes
To the surprise of very few
people, RAM Development won their appeal to the city
council in Peachtree City and can now move ahead with
the development of their first big-box store in
Peachtree City. What was surprising is that our city
officials presented the “case” for RAM's
appeal, leaving no need for the developer to even
have to speak on their own appeal's behalf. What a
strange way of doing things.
