One blogger had asked for proof of developer campaign contributions and wanted to know names. This information is easy to acquire and can be easily manipulated using a database package or sorting software. The list below is just a preliminary first scan on who is funding the Westmoreland and Seabaugh election campaigns. Using other key words, you can draw many more names. I hope this helps.

I don’t know what the cause of yesterday’s accident on I-85 S, before Exit 61, was but I have a good suspicion that another rude, impatient driver caused it, like it has happened so many times in the same place. Perfectly nice people turn into demons when they get behind the wheel and endanger their and everyone else’s lives around them. All, because they can’t bear waiting their turn and have to prove something (maybe how uncivilized they are) by trying to get ahead of as many law-abiding people as they can. I have been commuting from Peachtree City to Atlanta for 12 years and everyday, taking exit 61 is the most dangerous part of my trip. I see it almost everyday; people trying to get ahead of the line of cars in the exit lane by speeding in the adjacent lane and when they find a car-length gap, slam on their brakes with absolutely no regards for the vehicles following them or the vehicles adjacent to them. I wish these people would come to their senses and at least think about how dangerous this is to them, never mind other people. I hope the charred asphalt on I-85 will be a reminder to these people to be more courteous drivers. I feel sorry for the 2 people who lost their lives yesterday and even more for their families. My condolences to them. I just hope no one else will have to go through a similar thing again.

Mitch Seabaugh's letter to the editor hacked me off this morning. I grew up in Senoia and many in Coweta know that Seabaugh is tied to the local developers.

There will be one more night of auditions for Southside Theatre Guild's production of "Nuncrackers." Auditions will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28 at the theater in Fairburn.

If you think growth is a bad word, you should try living in a community with no growth. No growth means taxes much higher than ours because of fewer taxpayers to support infrastructure.

This may not seem very important to a lot of you and you might not care but what is the deal with all of the tall grass on the sides of the road and in the median on Highway 54 going towards PTC? Especially in the area of Ebenezer Road.

Just reading the results today in the AJC of the results on CRCT for these middle schools. Fayette Middle has 10%+ fail rate in over 8 subjects, with 3 in the 25%+ fail range.

There is too much traffic on 92S at rush hours. More traffic lights needed.
Thank you!

In the spirit of interactive journalism (well, sort of) I'm seeking questions from you, dear reader.

I will be attending a transportation forum tomorrow (Tuesday) that covers East Fayette County in addition to Spalding, Clayton and Henry counties. If you have a state highway project you'd like me to find out about, please let me know.

An interesting read about the recent history in the Islamic Middle East and why and how the changes there have occured.

Does anyone know anything about the Kiwanis fair this year?

I Have the sites To Report Illigals.I Have Lost Your Blog. One Is VDARE.com,,Day laborers,. Good Reading And Info. If VD

Someone told me something very disturbing. I was told that Fayette county high shool football players were allowed to go to Whitewater and Sandy Creek. I had some very good reasons, and was turned down, for my child to go to Whitewater instead of Sandy Creek. If this is true, are these football players Black?

These together, tie the issues into more of a package to look at.

Map of Three Coweta Proposed Developments from the PTC site.

You can now vote in both of these polls. Just follow the directions!!

UN

In the 1990's, Line Creek was classified by the State of Georgia as an impaired waterbody, polluted for "total toxicity." A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study was later completed for low dissolved oxygen (e.g., oxygen levels were too low to support fish and aquatic habitat). How can PTC building a highway to Coweta County (that will allow for 5000 homes per 1000 acres) help restore Line Creek? Have the PTC leaders considered the negative environmental impacts that they are making possible? The ensuing complete and total urbanization of eastern Coweta will only lead to a diminishing water quality in Line Creek. Silt and sediment will pour into the stream when the hundreds of bulldozers crank up, and the ineffective silt fences will be run down the first week.

As traffic volumes increase the safety of our PTC streets will decline along with property value, air quality, and the quiet we enjoy in our homes. In ths US approximately 6,000 pedestrians are killed each year in the U.S. by automobiles and 55% of these fatalities occurred on neighborhood streets. For every pedestrian killed by a car, another 15 were injured. Speed is a major factor determining whether a pedestrian will be killed or injured by an automobile. A pedestrian is nine times more likely to die if struck by a car traveling at 30 mph compared to 20 mph. Other factors contributing to the high pedestrian accident rate on neighborhood streets include lack of adequate sidewalks, bike lanes, and crossings.

It is amazing to me how much time is spent in our beautiful city on debating minor issues, when there is a looming catastrophe that will literally destroy the integrity and cohesiveness of this small town forever. The TDK extension will flood our community with traffic beyond imagination, and end the golf cart/residential atmosphere. Secondary roads will become major highways, and neighborhood groups will soon fight "cut through" traffic by starting an endless battle with city hall for building speed bumps. Inevitable golf cart/vehicle tragedies will occur, as thousands of new City of Mcintosh and City of East Coweta residents speed through the town looking for short cuts to the north and east. Our airport officials, now quietly operating in a somewhat isolated environment, are soon going to have a huge population of Coweta citizens fighting them at every turn, just like the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport officials have now. Complaints will pour in, and major FAA noise/flight pattern/operating issue battles are on the horizon.

Just want to let any regular working people know that they should never get an account with Peachtree National Bank. Recently they let unauthorized entities enter into our bank account and put charges too our debit card. This caused over 120 dollars in overdraft. I had problems previosly with the the group that had put charges onto my account and Peachtree National had asured me that this would not happen again, well it happened again and they told me that it was my fault, of course. I had to post this because I just saw their commercial where they proclaim that their bank is the Bank for everybody; Dont beleive their lies. They told me that it was an error with the people who put the charges onto my account

Did any of you catch Dateline NBC tonight (Fri 09/22/06)? If not, go to the NBC webiste and go to page 6 of the article on "To Catch a Predator." There you will see where it speaks of a Fayetteville man that was busted for trying to hook up with what he thought was a 15 year old girl.

Regional transportation fair Tues. at Shannon Mall

I plan on attending.

Please submit your, ”questions that you would like answered”, if you are not able to attend.

Let's be friendly and positive here please ...

I remember when Mr. Jamie Lynch handed out lollipops at the Farmer's and Merchants Bank on West Lanier.

The AJC has pointed the finger at McDonough City Administrator James Lee and his large salary. He earns $145,157 and the city’s population is 15,500. However, what a lot of people don’t know is that Fayetteville City Manager Joe Morton earns (total compensation) more proportionally than James Lee. Fayetteville’s population is less than 15,000 and they have far less staff to supervise.

Mayor Harold Logsdon’s propensity for lying is continuing. The mayor emphatically stated that a decision on TDK had to be made on September 12 because the sale of the Pathway property was definitely closing on Friday, September 15.

First: Thank you Citizen Newspaper and Mr. Nelms for your continued reporting on this subject. Thank you for giving the citizens a "real" voice.

Steve Brown’s campaign finance letter to the editor was slanted. He is making it look like Westmoreland and Seabaugh are doing something illegal, and they are on the up-and-up.

Thanks P.T.C. police Dept.

Somebody help me out here. The Pope quotes an ancient & obscure text about the Prophet. It creates outrage. And then he says it didn't really reflect his belief? What was he thinking? What was the point? Maybe he should have said it in Latin.
