It would be nice to open a local newspaper and not see Brown’s face every week. I am diametrically opposed to the way this man thinks. He works very hard trying to create the illusion that everything about Peachtree City prior to his arrival was defective.

Brown behaves like a pied piper. He’s always making reference to “my constituents,” and “my council,” and “my leadership,” and “my plans,” and “my ideas.” Did he never hear the expression that great things are achieved if you don’t worry about who receives the credit?

Great things have not been achieved during the last four years. Many great people have been forced out. Intergovernmental cooperation is at an all-time low. Everybody seems to be suing everyone else. Sides have been taken, barriers have been erected, and the battles have been raging.

Brown and his vicious minority of letter-writing propagandists would have you believe that everyone, except this band of malcontents, is maliciously connected with evildoers.

These bad people have been portrayed as elected officials, developers, bankers, lawyers, business owners, and it seems like anyone else who may have had a little success in their life.

There is a reason that every previous mayor of Peachtree City is opposed to Brown. There is a reason why the third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishers in the recent election have opposed Brown and have endorsed his opponent, Harold Logsdon. There is a reason why 80 percent of the voters in the general election opposed Brown.

There has been a battle raging in Peachtree City for the last four years. We have the ability to stop this war. All we have to do is exercise our free will and allocate 15 minutes next Tuesday to vote.

Brown is the leader of a small minority of like-minded followers. They have tried to lure you into thinking that Peachtree City’s problems were caused by the good men and women who have come before them. They are constantly at the ready to create problems that don’t exist, and to lay blame on anyone that opposes them.

Ask yourselves what will stop you from voting Brown out of office next Tuesday. Will you be relying on someone else to do the job for you? Will you conveniently forget? Can you not find 15 minutes in your busy schedule, even if you have a week to plan?

I am pleading to you with every ounce of my heart to go out next Tuesday and vote against Brown. I beseech newcomers to Peachtree City to have faith that this small Georgia town will be much better off with a new mayor.

Brown is counting on voter apathy in next Tuesday’s runoff election for mayor. Each of us has a free will and a choice to make. The majority turning out en masse to elect a new mayor would be a wonderful testament to the goodness of our society as a whole.
