BROWNOUT - T MINUS 10

My alter ego (the mean and nasty one) wants to come out to play. So we're going to create the online version of the BROWNOUT clock. The clock stands at 10 days and counting.

The questions I asked earlier in the week still go unanswered. As PTC Guy believes that Harold Logsdon can answer the following questions, I'll pose them to both candidates:

The citizens of Peachtree City are demanding to know the answers to the following questions, Incumbent Steve Brown:

-Do you plan to lower taxes?

-Dana Kinser asked why your (Brown's) stand on senior housing in the West Vilage proposal changed between what you told the Centennial HOA and your latest positions? You seem to be telling two stories.

-What is your contingency if a judge requires the City to pay back the DAPC loans? Do you plan to appeal?

-To Logsdon, do you plan to stall, stop or otherwise delay the stormwater utility process currently ongoing?

-To Logsdon, do you plan to stall, stop or otherwise delay ANYTHING if elected to office? Will you research the issues prior to making decisions on them and get up to speed as quickly as possible?

-How can you overcome the perceived notion (Brown) of several in both the media and the candidacy that you are not "good for business"?

-Did you (Brown) unilaterally approach one of your mayoral interns to assist in the creation of the "McIntosh Debate"? If so, do you believe this to be a conflict of interest in the campaign?

-How many of the 900 "new businesses" that were started in Peachtree City during your (Brown) administration were manufacturing facilities? How many of them could you classify as significant revenue generators? How many of them might be extremely small businesses or home-based businesses (I remember seeing a letter to the editor regarding a piano teacher having to register for occupational taxes...I have also driven through the variety of business developments in the City and haven't seen 900 businesses there).

The answers to these questions would greatly clarify many of the important discussions many members of the community are having. If you wouldn't mind posting your answer to the blogs here, I think a great deal of people would appreciate it.

What makes you think that Mr. Logsdon is reading what you write, let alone is even in town this holiday weekend? If you want answers to the questions, email him, his email address is on his web page www.haroldlogsdon.org

My questions were more for Mr. Brown, as he is a frequent contributor to these blogs. I guess he just doen't care about the residents enough to answer questions in the forum he inhabits. I'll give Logsdon the benefit of the doubt of not being online to respond.

Clarity, idontknow, since you interposed your post between that one and mine answering it about emailing Logsdon.

Logsdon does not answer emails if the questions demand anything specific. Even if only, "Do you support, or not, this specific program or position?"

He does not answer.

Hey Pinnocio PTC Guy, your nose is growing a bit longer. You already stated that when you asked the mayoral candidates about your incessant storm water issue that each of us responded, and that only your ex-MAMA boy Brown impressed you with his response.

Don't state here that Harold doesn't respond to your emails. He most certainly did. Of course, I don't know first hand about subsequent to that, but you gotta admit, Harold needs to stay busy with supporters and potential supporters, not with folks that flat out are against him like you are. You are a complete waste of his time at this stage of the game, and if you were honest with yourself, you'd admit it.

Now once he gets elected, he'll make time for you, but it's crazy trying to waste precious time with a guy who already has his mind made up to vote for the opponent.

Mr. Tennant, I too attempted contact to Mr. Logsdon's website. And initially I was not against him or for him. I was open minded until he ignored my request to stop the unsolicited phone calls to my house. Don't dismiss my requests for privacy. On a Sunday night during dinner, when we might be receiving calls from invalid Grandparents, I picked up the phone--- the caller ID said unknown-- and it was a professional phone call from Logsdon's people rudely pushing their candidate. Clearly Logsdon does not respond to calls or emails. The calls to my house continued. Of course, when SandySue sent an email (after no replies) in which she offered money she got a response. Mr. Logsdon has loudly and clearly confirmed his policy choice of avoiding the public by refusing to debate at the invitation of high school students.

Mr. Tennant you are embarrassing yourself and your family. You need to stop these childish postings. If Mr. Logsdon chooses not to respond to requests for information, that is his choice. And I have my choice for Mayor. But with your postings, Mr. Tennant, you do nothing but confirm the already bad reputation you have earned in this community.

I agree.

If a man will not respect another's privacy and is creating fake personae to try to sway a vote then the one behind these things has serious problems.

And sorting through emails to pick out ones for donations and harmless responses that say nothing is another bad sign.

Clinching it is a lack of feeling or responsibility to the citizens to put himself out there to answer specific questions on specific issues.

At least with Brown I know on critical points of importance he is where I want the mayor to be.

Actually, I don't like getting unsolicited phone calls from anybody, but I do understand how that goes in a political race. What is the harm in simply hanging up if you don't want to listen to the call?

And thanks for the advice, but I enjoy putting my name on my statements here. You needn't worry about me or my family, we are doing just fine, thanks. As for my reputation, I'm happy knowing there are still people out there who are willing to be candid and not fall prey to the policital correctness of our age. There are plenty of others out there, and I will be happy to continue here. If you don't like what I have to say, don't read it. Nobody is forcing you to do so.

You need conseling, Dan. The edge is way behind and above you.

With that said I shall now reply to your "statements".

Hey Pinnocio PTC Guy, your nose is growing a bit longer. You already stated that when you asked the mayoral candidates about your incessant storm water issue that each of us responded, and that only your ex-MAMA boy Brown impressed you with his response.

If attempting to quote me then get your story straight and get off the spin machine.

I said you two answered by stating it was a subject that needed looked into.

That was true for those emails.

But it was truly a lie from you since YOU were on council when it was brought up before. The Utility concept is not new news to you.

And now, once you are not on the ballot, you finally state your true position you knew before. That being you are opposed to the Utility at all costs.

Really honest there. Put otherwise, you lied when you said look into it. You already had a position as you did 4 years ago.

As for Blogsdon, I was not referring to those past emails, but to new.

I asked if he were pro or con on some issues. If con, why?

He has NOT responded. He responds to no one asking specifics.

Oh, yea, if you are going to call someone a name then at least spell it correctly.

Don't state here that Harold doesn't respond to your emails. He most certainly did. Of course, I don't know first hand about subsequent to that, but you gotta admit, Harold needs to stay busy with supporters and potential supporters, not with folks that flat out are against him like you are. You are a complete waste of his time at this stage of the game, and if you were honest with yourself, you'd admit it.

So, he only would represent those who support him as mayor? He feels no need to explain, lead and educate others to the wisdom of his position?

What a wonderful defense of the ole boy system you were a part of and want PTC to return to.

I base my vote for Brown on what Blogsdon has said.

You don't have a clue if my vote would stay the same or not if Logsdon actually said something of substance on issues. Look into it is not substance when it has already been looked into and is in motion. Or that his magic wand will do all the work needed with zero to negative tax growth.

Now once he gets elected, he'll make time for you, but it's crazy trying to waste precious time with a guy who already has his mind made up to vote for the opponent.

I am voting for Brown because he has answered my questions.

If Logsdon is not part of the ole boy network and will represent all of the citizens future then he should be willing to state his positions now.

Seems Logsdon is not at all embarrassed or concerned about the stances you are taking in his behalf. Surely he is aware either via reading or getting feed back by others.

Plausible deniability. What a wonderful crutch to lean on.

Allow you to ramble on out here and then deny you later.

That speaks volumes.

Tell you what, I will head straight to the shrink just as soon you get your dose of truth syrum. OK? You flat out lied when you said Harold didn't return your emails. Like Brown, you can't deny the lie.

Wrong, and you know it. Your specific question was whether A UTILITY should be created. That is the purpose of the soon to be scheduled public hearings. My God, I think you've been mixing something in your Storm water cocktail, pal.

That was true for those emails.

But it was truly a lie from you since YOU were on council when it was brought up before. The Utility concept is not new news to you.

And now, once you are not on the ballot, you finally state your true position you knew before. That being you are opposed to the Utility at all costs.

If you paid attention, I stated repeatedly throughout the campaign, just as Boswell did, that the creation of a utility was NOT the way to go.

Really honest there. Put otherwise, you lied when you said look into it. You already had a position as you did 4 years ago.

See above, Pinnochio.

As for Blogsdon, I was not referring to those past emails, but to new.

I asked if he were pro or con on some issues. If con, why?

He has NOT responded. He responds to no one asking specifics.

Another lie. I know personally and first hand that he does in fact respond to specifics.

Oh, yea, if you are going to call someone a name then at least spell it correctly.

So, he only would represent those who support him as mayor? He feels no need to explain, lead and educate others to the wisdom of his position?

This is like talking to a six year old. I specifically told you after the election he'd talk to you. He doesn't have time for you and your constant criticism at this point in the game. What is so hard about that to understand?

What a wonderful defense of the ole boy system you were a part of and want PTC to return to.

No, I want a return of the Steve Brown is not our mayor system.

I base my vote for Brown on what Blogsdon has said.

No you base your vote for Brown on what YOU say. And nothing is going to change your mind about Harold, and you know it.

You don't have a clue if my vote would stay the same or not if Logsdon actually said something of substance on issues. Look into it is not substance when it has already been looked into and is in motion. Or that his magic wand will do all the work needed with zero to negative tax growth.

Get out from under your rock and READ what he has stated for 14 months!

Seems Logsdon is not at all embarrassed or concerned about the stances you are taking in his behalf. Surely he is aware either via reading or getting feed back by others.

Plausible deniability. What a wonderful crutch to lean on.

You are wasting your vote, pal. What a shame you still insist on hiding behind an alias. You're a coward.

Allow you to ramble on out here and then deny you later.

That speaks volumes.

Allow me to ramble on? And whose permission do you have to write anything here?
You are a fool. Tell you what, let’s see who has more influence in the election on December 6.

Dan, you are irrational. Seriously irrational.

You flat out lied when you said Harold didn't return your emails. Like Brown, you can't deny the lie.

I did not lie.

My last email has not been answered because I asked for specifics. He will not give specifics even when they only require yes or no to answer.

Wrong, and you know it. Your specific question was whether A UTILITY should be created. That is the purpose of the soon to be scheduled public hearings. My God, I think you've been mixing something in your Storm water cocktail, pal.


His response was it needs looked into and plans devised. Which is garbage since it has been looked into and plans devised.

His answer implies NOTHING has been done to date.

And you cannot even get your facts straight. All three public meetings have already been held. I attended one.

The only thing remaining is the formal meeting to vote to put it into place. If approved the bills go out in February.

If you paid attention, I stated repeatedly throughout the campaign, just as Boswell did, that the creation of a utility was NOT the way to go.

You didn't say that to me in your email response.

Another lie. I know personally and first hand that he does in fact respond to specifics.

That is a lie. He has not responded to my email asking for his specific position on the Utility.

Dan, you are irrational and irrelevant.

I don't know who will win. Neither do you.

But I do know the next four years are not going to be peaceful if the tensions created by Logsdon's silence continue, as here, if he is elected.

THAT is a fact.

So ramble on by yourself. No one can pin down truth from one totally dedicated to political situational ethics as you are.

Therefore, wisdom is to disregard you. And I shall.

Like I said several times, PTC Guy, you care about the community, it's obvious that you really do, and for that I commend you.

We just disagree on several things, but such is life. That's America, and we can still live along side of each other in Blogosphere.

Help me out with one thing. I can't figure out how to either italicize or make bold a response (obviously) in a blog converstaion. How do you do that?

No hard feelings.

I have no problem with disagreeing with someone while not disliking them personally. So don't worry there except if you want to turn into the Tennant type person.

Some fair ones.

But please add these:

Mr. Logsdon. You have promised to freeze or lower taxes and still get all the work done. How do you plan to accomplish that?

Mr. Brown. If you win the court case what are your future plans concerning the Tennis Center?

Mr. Logsdon, since the Stormwater Utility concept was presented by the City Engineer and developed by a reputable outside engineering firm based on successful models elsewhere why do you feel a need to restudy the issue?
