Western media completely ignores major report from Japan’s Energy Commission

Obama: It's a Good Time to Buy Stocks

The Citizen's reporting of the domestic violence case in Peachtree City is reprehensible. There is simply no need to report all the details. It is sufficient to just report that the judge denied bond.

The Republican party continues to hemorrhage voters.

In what is being described as the largest party identification gap since 1985, 38 percent of Americans say they are Democrats, 28 percent call themselves Republicans and another 29 percent identify as independents.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele was being interviewed by CNN's D.L. Hughley recently when Hughley called Limbaugh "the de facto leader of the Republican Party."

Orszag: Obama Will Sign Omnibus Despite Earmark Pledge

Almost every county in Georgia has asked for projects that would include improving county infrastructure and providing jobs. What happened to Fayette County? False pride - while we ask teachers to take a 4% pay cut?

Well, classic Murphy's Law:

I paid off my '02 Bonneville in August and, last Monday, the engine locks up - it's a goner. Now, isn't that par for the course?

Stimulus Bill Explanation

Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me. The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed

"BoE ‘forced’ to build River’s Elementary?

Say it ain't so.....

Good Day to ya Paul!

Is it just me, or is the traffic jam at the Highway 74 and Highway 54 intersection in Peachtree City just about as bad as it has ever been - in spite of all of the investment in additional traffic lanes and new "synchronized" traffic signals?

I agree that speeders should be ticketed, but my point is that the cops are taking up a lot of time setting up these speed traps when we need them in he high crime areas so that we can feel safe in our own city.

My Pakistani-American Muslim friend who runs a Fairburn package store has This Photo hanging as a poster behind the register.

Like their constitutional freedom loving colonial forefathers before them, American men and women staged spontaneous “tea parties” Friday all over the Nation. From Michigan to Texas, California to Washington DC and all points in between, the message was no more socialist tax and spend policies. At the State Capital in Atlanta 300 protesters gathered in the rain, inspired by their National leader, Rick Santelli of CNBC.

First off~ Don't judge this poor women until you personally have experienced Domestic Violence!! This is real, every where and affects the rich and the poor. People comment "How could she do this and sit there and take this??" Well this is NOT the reality of this game we call Domestic Violence!!

Every day last week while traveling to work at the intersection of Highway 92 and Helen Sams Parkway, I see drivers being pulled over by the Fayetteville Police Department.

As I understand it the federal government will own about 40% of the common stock of Citigroup with the latest plan to save them.

Isn't the 5-6% across the board pay cut for many of the county education department (with some strange exceptions) totally a SOCIALISTIC thing to do?

This hyar 7-8 Trillion dollar bailout with the 40% tax rate for $250,000 people (after deductions to the gross of course)

It showed up in the states bank account!!!

It is to continue paying for health care for old dudes, people with no insurance and kids.

It is amazing to me that School Board proposes cutting every school to one full time media specialist. High schools enrollment average 1500- Elementary schools 400. High school English students write 1-2 research papers a year.

On Monday the FCBOE presented a number of policies and plans to deal with the financial crisis in the coming budget. While I continue to believe a large part of the current situation is due to the down turn and maddening lack of planning by the state government in Atlanta, I do believe that our board and administration need to be mindful of not only our short term position but creating sustainable long term policy.

It is not pleasant or fair, but we will be losing many good teachers and staff this year due to budget cuts. The question is who stays and where will they land. Tenured teachers appear to be safe for now. Teachers with less the four years are in danger of losing their jobs, or being relocated within the county. Any teacher may be transferred ANYWHERE. If you have lived in this county any length of time, WE ARE ATTACHED TO OUR TEACHERS. Schools within the county differ by student-teacher- parent dynamics, population, economics, and community involvement. When the board cuts teaching positions, moves teachers around WITHIN the county, do you want a teacher/administrator use to one population teaching/administrating in a totally different environment. Money is short, supplies are short, classes are large, programs are being cut. Can we at least have some stability in where our teachers and our administrators work? I am a FMS parent. I love and support my school. I hope the school board will offer the kids, community, and schools some stability in keeping the staff that works best with the same school and in the same area. Let's not play musical chairs with our teachers and administrators. Would you like to lose your teacher to another school ? Please call, e-mail, or write Dr. DeCotis and ask that he give principals a voice in their teaching staff and their support staff.

Since we are currently in a shortfall, why is it that the payment for students of teachers who live outside of Fayette County not addressed?
