SIMPLY MY TWO CENTS WORTH
![Mike King's picture Mike King's picture](../files/pictures/picture-6708.jpg) Throughout the past two weeks the pros and cons of the candidates running for my late friend's, Dan Lakly, seat have hit a fever pace. One can only surmise that if a small percentage of what's being printed is totally true, then these are either saintly or evil individuals.
Just for grins, let's take an objective look at each.
Ms Becker: Formerly a substantial cog in the Fayette County Democratic Party, however of late, she has demonstrated little or no community involvement. Could it be that she has abandoned her democratic principles for the sake of name recognition and party affiliation just to get exposure?
Mr Ramsey: An obviously bright and up and coming figure in local politics considering the heavyweights that have endorsed him. Sure he has served on Mac Collins local staff and with Mitch Seabaugh in the Georgia Legislature which does give him an edge in how things get done under the gold dome. But, could we not have run a campaign without the obvious cash outlay that, at least to me, seems as if someone or ones are trying to buy a seat in the Legislature.
Mr Brown: An astute individual who can recite city issues from memory but lacking in the ability to form a concensus to get much of anything done. Just two years ago the residents of Peachtree City resoundingly turned him away in favor of promises of leadership that admittedly have yet to materialize. Those who support him do so with such fervor and blind loyalty that they will go to great lengths to get us to forget the rancor at city hall and send him to the State House. I'm sorry, but Fayette County does not need our own Cynthia McKenny.
Mr Madden: A fish out of water in that he is the only true Democrat in the race and is quite proud of it. His line of "laying in front of the bulldozer" during the debate showed me more than his wit, it demonstrated a conviction to maintaining the quality of life we all hold dear.
For my vote, there is but one choice and that being my neighbor for more than twenty years. While not perfect he does not turn against his own party, he has asked for little or no financial backing, and most importantly, he can lead.
Vote for Kevin Madden.
