It has been a couple of interesting months of campaigning by the various candidates.

For the most part, the candidates have been issues oriented.

Barb Curasi is flooding the good folks at Holy Trinity Catholic Church with political propaganda and total lies.

There never was a plot to replace the city manager. In fact, I hired Bernie McMullen and like the guy. He is doing a fine job.

This is the best coverage of a local election I have ever seen. The AJC does not have this much on the mayoral election for the City of Atlanta.

I found it quite humorous that, in September, Mr. Thompson would refute (in a recent letter to the editor) a column I wrote in March about his tax and spend mindset.

Former Airport Manager Jim Savage hit the nail on the head: the city has always tried (until the last Planning Commission vote) to protect the Falcon Field Airport from residential development.

I hope the candidates will continue to express their views on land use, budgeting, recreation and more.

Including e-mail addresses following a letter to the editor will help voters get in touch with you, so they can ask questions.

I noted in my last column that Rep. Matt Ramsey responded to an e-mail I sent regarding the traffic signal at Hwy. 54 and Line Creek Drive.

The word from Peachtree City that the city's hands are tied and they must accept another traffic signal at Line Creek Drive and Hwy 54-W is absolutely unbelievable.

I have always been an enthusiastic supporter of our local schools and was a vocal supporter of the 2000 bond referendum. As an elected official, I participated in many projects with the schools in Peachtree City.

I know Scott Bradshaw did not write the headline for his piece in the newspaper (PTC Police HQ: Problem or opportunity?). But there is no opportunity for the taxpayers in being soaked for millions in land, construction and lease costs for a problem that should have never existed.

The remarks from poster Mudcat were brought to my attention by someone claiming to “have the truth” related to the ethics filing from the Direct PAC against me. I will address Mudcat's statements below:

I have pasted the text below from the e-mail I sent to the Mayor, Councilmen and City Manager. It is also available at City Hall.

Most development professionals know the State Route 16 corridor is going to be a red hot growth area. Land speculation is taking off. Peachtree City's official opinion appears to be build at will. What is going to happen to all of the traffic from that development and what impact will it have on State Route 74?

I put together a reply regarding McDonoughDawg's comments. My comments appear in bold below his.
