Somebody please run against this guy. He represents all that's wrong with Fayetteville. We need to go beyond the "Good 'ole boy" mentality. It seems that the citizens of Fayetteville obviously could care less who represents them. I'm sure there are more than a few very qualified candidates that could represent Fayetteville in a more positive manner. Every time I read in this paper about the other cities in Fayette County (namely Peachtree City and Tyrone), I see that there are people that actually campaign and run against one another for mayor or city council seats. I can't remember the last time someone ran against an incumbent in a Fayetteville election. What is wrong with you people? Start caring about your city and stop complaining. Until you actually do something, Fayetteville will continue to go the same route as Riverdale. And believe me, every time I go into Fayetteville, I'm reminded just how close to Riverdale Fayetteville has become.

No matter how obscene our growth rate, we still raised taxes (just not as fast as growth). Nowe we have higher crime, more traffic, a lower standard of living, overcrowded schools, a strained infrastructure and I want you to vote for me again. Did I mention the city spent hundreds of thousands of you tax dollars for trees and shrubs for the medians, we used fire trucks to water them, we are wasting thousands more to maintain them, oh, and we have antique looking street lights!
