Had to do it didn't you. Couldn't resist taking a "shot."

"I cannot find that perception in the media unless it is a Direct PAC member, Logsdon or some of the infamous chamber members (Bob Lenox, Jim Pace, etc.) making a statement"

Can you NOT write ONE letter, editorial, or blog without making YET AGAIN another allegation or accusation? By the way, your comment is TOTALLY UNFOUNDED! Actually most businesses are not fans of you. I hate to spread bad news but you are perceived as "bad for business."

And I guess Judge English is another "evildoer?"

"Judge English had been overturned quite a bit on appeal. It is interesting to note that Judge English refuse to let the Constitutionality of the suit be examined by the Supreme Court – a refusal of that type almost never occurs – why would he not let that happen?"

Are you now a "legal expert?" Well, that's a dumb question. Since you declared the DAPC loan "illegal," we all know you think you are a legal expert. But maybe you should just accept that even you can't control a judge. I suspect he has a much greater concept of the matter of law than you do. That's why he's a judge and your...not!

P.S. You didn't answer my question on annexation. Still waiting.

Pot calling the kettle black my fine feathered friend. You just could not help taking a shot at me - it okay if you do it, right? Do not be so sensitive.

The points I made are legitimate. Go fine one article where someone other than those mentioned are cutting the city down on business. Do not expect Bob Lenox to say "Steve is doing a great job!" Go read Logsdon's web site - full of negatives but no references or data. Funny story - Mike Hofrichter was the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in 2002 (back when they said the DAPC was a well managed business machine) and he kept complaining about how the council was casting a negative light on Peachtree City business. I wrote a letter to the editor saying that the only person that was negative to PTC business was Hofrichter himself. I asked all the readers in of my letter to go to the AJC web site and type "H-O-F-R-I-C-H-T-E-R" and see for themselves that all his statements come up negative which is the only portrayal that others in Metro Atlanta have. Well, a lot of the readers put Mike's name in the search line and found out that I was not lying - got a lot of great e-mails back on that particular letter.

Really, why would Judge English not answer a request for a Constitutional review that he grants an overwhelming majority of the time?

I am not a legal expert - we hired three of them and they told me.

What is your annexation question? Please hurry - I have to go to bed.

Please see my blog entitled "The question for Brown yet again (third time)."
As for the "pot calling the kettle black," where you have always "missed the point" is your propensity to publicly attack so many by name in the local newspaper, council meetings, state of the city addresses. This is unacceptable behavior for the mayor. When questioned you always respond with some totally outlandish attack on someone. NOT FIT BEHAVIOR FOR A MAYOR! It is my duty as a citizen, to question you, an elected official. In fact "Stealing a tool used throughout our country’s history, I decided to write...letters to the Editor in the local newspapers. Figuring that if John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and so many others could create an argument for American independence and the creation of the U.S. Constitution surely it would work for little Peachtree City. The letters accomplished their mission of creating debate on issues facing our city." And how did you respond? Well, you "...try to smear my character. [You] use words like ["devloper"] and ["special interest"] to describe me. Those terms are simply code for “he does not agree with the [me].” Peachtree City is inhabited by a large number of very intelligent people who can see through such schemes."

Recognize those words Mayor? You should, they are copied and pasted directly from your own 2001 website (with bracketed changes). Now they are coming back to haunt you. Want to talk about the Ethics section of your 2001 campaign and your violations?

You see mayor, you have become what you always hated about Lenox. He was arrogant, but you are vicious and vindictive. You have a 4 year history of pulicly attacking too many of us. That is the root of your actualy downfall and failure. You can't admit you may be wrong and someone else may be right. You have disregarded your own promises and now you try and cover it up with attack after attack against all by labling us. But as you stated so clearly:

"Peachtree City is inhabited by a large number of very intelligent people who can see through such schemes."

I do, however, take into task your response on the last issue. Photocircuits tax bill was nearly $300,000 (I have a blog with the statistics I found, please feel free to peruse my previous blogs). A large portion of that tax bill came not just from the property but from the equipment in the buildings. Manufacturing facilities often have large equipment with expensive price tags, and, thusly, expensive tax bills.

This is my rationale behind manufacturing facilities generating revenue - the type of revenue a city needs - tax base.

I also didn't see a response to how many of the 900 businesses were small business/home based. Again, no significant additional tax revenue comes to the City for a piano teacher or a sales rep.

I thank you for your response, but I still have enough disappointment in your leadership style to consider Mr. Logsdon for the office. My opinion, of course.

There are others asking questions of you in this forum - your continued participation would definitely increase the dialogue.

Now it is Logsdon's turn.

Where is he????????

And birdman, the answer on the court issues was sound. It gave what would be done with a rationale for doing it.

As for who is stirring the mud, Mayor Brown is correct on who is front and center in the effort.

Your point on Photocircuits is valid regarding the tax on the value of the equipment - remember that is only one of the many factors - remember also nose dived into chapter 11 due to foreign competition. They provide no real job benefit to our citizens - used tons of hazardous chemicals - they brought hundreds (thousands back in the good old days) of out-of-county drivers that clog our roads and cost significant dollars to expand.

I cannot give you a break down - I'm in my kitchen.

Seems to me that when Photocircuits left it took away 700 jobs. Are you suggesting that 700 jobs were of "no real benefit?"

As for all the "hundreds of out-of-county drivers," did they not use any of the local businesses? Never ate lunch? Never bought gas? Never stopped into a local business at all?

Please post back when you can provide the information, Mr. Mayor.

When is Logsdon going to answer our questions?

Answer: isn't.

It appears he is. That is why I have restated my questions. No time like the present. As it doesn't look like Harold Logsdon is online now, I can't ask him in this forum.

So, if you wouldn't mind, Mr. Mayor, can you indulge us amateur political pundits with some insights regarding the questions I have posed?

Hey Dana - the mayor's online. Might want to ask your questions again. I did, but got no response....wait, I did! Now's your chance!

Yes, where are the questions?

Top of the blog on this page, Mr. Mayor.

Maybe Mr. Mayor you are typing up your answers. That certainly would explain the "silence." Anxious "eyes" eagerly await. Now is your chance. Ante up sir, you always said you would answer any questions. While your at it, could you please explain why you didn't know prior to the 2001 election, considering your "extensive" education and experience according to your website, that you didn't know that Annexation couldn't be put to a vote?

Inquiring minds are wondering.
