Why should we care what John Wieland says he wants for Peachtree City? He does not live here, only makes big bucks and moves on to another tract to start all over again. He does not have to see his community ruined as we do. Overcrowded schools, traffic congestion, inflated property taxes,etc.

The same goes for the builders of the proposed Kohl’s shopping center. Why should we give, sell or swap him any land? Bullies threaten as their spokesman has done by threatening to sell out to a Hooter’s, Pep Boys, etc.

Let’s call his bluff and deal with the results as they come. Why do we capitulate to these builders? When will our elected officials (with the exception of Plunkett and Kourajian) get some backbone and start looking out for the residents and not the builder?

Or, are there reasons we do not know about? And why does our mayor, who is supposed to be so savvy, continually say that he was not aware of the various things occurring, such as the Kroger/Goodwill deal?

It took the citizens of Peachtree City contacting Kroger directly and telling them that we would boycott their remaining stores to squelch that deal.

Where was our mayor? I would appreciate our esteemed mayor telling us via your newspaper just what he has done/accomplished that was for the betterment of Peachtree City while he has been in office, since he has never answered any emails sent to him.
