AJC misleading about Harold Logsdon

I have to say the AJC article “Growth gets a second glance” was very misleading. The reporter, Aixa Pascual, made is sound like the mayor and council weren’t interested in annexation or development outside of Peachtree City. What about the westside annexation? What about the damage from TDK?

The way I see it, Mayor Logsdon has very little regard for the people trying to make ends meet in our city. Peachtree City has been a great place to live, but the changes taking place now are going to ruin things for good.

Two or three more big boxes: bad idea. Lengthen TDK: very bad idea. Westside annexation: too many houses. Where are all the kids going to school from the 500 Wieland homes? Are they going to bump the kids in my neighborhood to a school out in the county? This is not why my family moved to Peachtree City 17 years ago.

If all of the new houses are built in near TDK, what will happen to the value of the older, smaller homes in Peachtree City? We will be no match for a huge development with new homes starting in the 300’s. We’ll become the Smyrna of Fayette County.

I have heard a lot of talk about Peachtree City running up on some big budget problems and that taxes are going up again. What are the budget problems?

Just to be clear

This is a different "John M." and not me.

I don't know if this blogger is trying to be deceptive; I'll assume not. Just wanted the rest of y'all to know.

Couldn't help it John, you set me up.

Actually it's because all of the folks I deal with on the news beat know that I "sign" my e-mails John M.

Just didn't want anyone to think it was me.

If I was really that vain I'd have a toupee by now!

This is the easiest spot to find you. I want to clearly say that I enjoy your reporting and this newspaper, and I read it religiously. I apologize for insinuating you and/or this paper have an intrinsic bias on race reporting. I do believe there exists a national phenomenon which I have attempted to illustrate, but I do not want to disparage you or the Citizen, which so graciously gives us this forum. Thank you!

Cheers,

Kevin "Hack" King
