Not sure I agree that Haddix should abstain from blogging entirely, but the sheriff candidates position causes one to at least consider taking the high road. Haddix is trying to respond to everything himself while it appears Cyndi has paid and volunteer bloggers. They are both into the attack mode and blame game and that's not attractive, but I guess it is all they each have in the absence of real campaign issues - discredit the other. Sad and ugly.

In my opinion you usually make sense in your posts, but I have to wonder about your statement that Cindi "appears" to have paid bloggers. Have the invoices been posted somewhere that I missed? BTW, I'm not campaigning for either candidate here. Although I do have bit of a problem with ol' 3-2's attack blogs.

if you think this is a childish web site? Just like to dabble, huh? Maybe stir the pot a tad? And just so you know, I don't live in PTC and don't really care who the Mayor is or will be, but I think Cal Beverly can support whoever he wants--just like you.

Mr. Beverly is certainly permitted to support whomever he chooses for mayor; i don't believe anyone on this site is disputing that fact. It is his treatment of other candidates, and his penchant for spreading falsity that aggravates and, to be frank, angers citizens/blog readers.

Ahavah

"Despite treason after treason, and sabotage after sabotage, God's empire of light never falls into total eclipse. Satan wages a futile war."

I think Haddix should win due to the count, also.

But it is possible that the Haddix voters the first time will not vote as much, and others will vote another way!

Don't know if anyone can vote the second time or just the initial voters! I would assume that one could vote when they want to, except for the stupid primary rules as democrats or republicans.

You are wading into dangerous waters on this blog. There are a few that will carry on a civil debate but most of them seem so filled with anger and vitriol that they will spend all of their energy trying to destroy anyone who is not in lock step with them.
You have already stepped on some toes by speaking of the triumvirate (it didn't take Don long to respond and attempt to disarm your post).
I don't agree with all the decisions that Cyndi has made during her tenure on the council but do believe that she is the best candidate for the job(polish and manners are important for this job).

YES - Don Haddix is an angry man who has attempted to perfect one word NO. He is the type to see conspiracy in everything he looks at and loves voice his opinions about them to anyone who will listen. These actions will lead to closed doors at the State Level (something very important even though there are many who only want to live with the confines of the Peachtree City city limits). We will get zero cooperation from State Legislators - just like under Steve Brown.

YES - Steve Brown is trying to get his revenge for his embarrassing dismissal four years ago by influencing this election any way he can. He does not want to be remembered as perhaps the worst mayor in the history of Peachtree City (a legacy that he so desperately wants to hand on Harold Logsdon). Would anyone care to compare the number of Big Box stores that came in under his watch as compared to Harold and this council?

YES - Cal Beverley has overstepped his role as local publisher of Citizen with his constant berating and insinuations of illegalities amongst this council. I know that it is an age old tradition of the local press to endorse candidates but Cal has made it a practice of trashing other candidates (local citizens who had decided that they want to commit many hours of their lives to service of PTC - for very little, if any pay)that he in some case he has never even met in person or spoken to at all. And he regularly chooses to do this with huge front page spreads that should be contained within the editorial section of the paper. Hey, it's his paper, he can do what he want's (even if his goal is to be the political "Puppetmaster" of Fayette County) buy perhaps he should change the name of the rag to "Cal Beverley's Citizen - All the news that Cal feels is fit to print in order to advance his agenda.

I think we have a case of the pot calling the kettle black!
I think you are the angry one.

Oh you are spewing lies and trying to scare people...are you a spin dr. for Plunkett?

You don't really make a good case for your friend cyndi...try the facts yellow, the facts speak loud and clear as to cyndi's voting record.

Time and again, Plunkett sold the city out...even after hearing from the citizens she still disregarded us and sold us out...

It is now our turn to send cyndi packing!

Angry? No.
Concerned for the future of PTC, YES!
If you knew me, you would know I don't have an angry bone in my body. In fact as I sit hear and read the blogs I have a huge smile on my face. It is so much fun to watch all the Haddix supporters spin into a lather and the veins in their heads pop out anytime someone disagrees with their candidate.
BUT don't accuse me of spewing lies (spewing is such a fun word) and spreading fear, I'll leave that for your side.
Please read all of my post carefully. If you find anything I have said to be a lie I will stand on my head and print a full retraction.
By the way, I wish I was working for Plunkett as a spin doctor. I hear doctors make real good money and the Plunkett is paying her Big City campaign team hugh bucks.

I think all bloggers who intentionally stir up controversy or consistently bash other bloggers or even absent parties should be required to stand on his or her head and issue an apology. Perhaps that would cut down on the amount of unnecessary rudeness within this forum.

Ahavah

"Despite treason after treason, and sabotage after sabotage, God's empire of light never falls into total eclipse. Satan wages a futile war."

Looks like Kim is going to different city council meetings than those I have attended.

On the big 3, you nailed it.

Haddix has already won if you look at the votes carefully as Cal has done. I do grow weary of him telling us how to vote and his pronouncements, but he certainly has this one right.

On Brown, you hear very little about the big boxes under him vs. Logsdon and of course you are correct. The whole downhill slide west of 74 (ironically at Planterra's front door) started under Brown, not Logsdon or even Lenox. Of course the actual blame for all that goes back to Joel Cowan's well-founded distrust of Doug Mitchell and Mitchell's petty jealousy of Cowan. Brown tried to fish those waters with his stupid attempt to discredit Cowan as the true founder of PTC, but missed the mark and had few real facts. Certainly he is trying everything to distract from his own poor performance, but that's going to be very difficult for him. Facts are facts.

Next time he opens his mouth on the front page of Cal's Citizen, we need to start viewing him as our very own Barry Obama - clueless, marching to some different drummer than the average citizen and blaming everything on his predecessor - although Brown is able to take it a step further and also blames Logsdon and of course the mysterious "enemies" within city hall. Earth to Brown you were not important enough to have enemies. You were viewed as an immature clown. I was there and know that for a fact.

Dangerous waters indeed.

Don is "an angry man", who "has attempted to perfect one word NO", who sees "conspiracy in everything", who will get "zero cooperation from State Legislators".

Steve Brown is "trying to get his revenge" supposedly for his "embarrassing dismissal four the worst mayor in the history of Peachtree City".

Let me say that I agree with you completely that there are bloggers here that "seem so filled with anger and vitriol that they will spend all of their energy trying to destroy anyone who is not in lock step with them".

Frankly, describing Don Haddix as angry is not necessarily a negative from my point of view. I must admit that I have been somewhat nonplussed by the infuriating decisions that have been made by the city too. When I moved here a long, long time ago, there was an implied contract between the city and county officials, whose responsibility to the citizens was to uphold the land use plan; and the citizens here who had decided what kind of community they wanted to live in and who tried to achieve aspects of that goal through the land use plan. That was back when the politicians represented the citizens and most of the citizens knew the background of what was going on and what was being decided and planned.

Every single No vote by Mr. Haddix has been a No to proposed changes in that land use plan. I moved here because I thought this was a place where the elected officials were in agreement with the citizen's vision of a small community in Georgia that could rate in the top ten places to live in the United States. I believe that we achieved that, partially, but an important part, because we spent years studying and building the city/county development plan. It is very irritating to watch the politicians in our extraordinary community act in such ordinary ways and kow-tow to every developer who wanders into the county.

What I want is someone who understands; and is in agreement with, the forty years ago vision for the community; who recognizes that the implementation of that plan has been a major factor in our success; and who will start from that viewpoint when considering request for changing that plan.

You have to admit that doesn't describe your candidate.

It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth. John Locke

Thank you Locke for your well-balanced response.

I was, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, making a point about the radical behavior of most of those on this blog. Everything is black and white when in reality there are many shades of gray.

I guess you are right about Plunkett being my candidate but it is more of a vote against Don and his ill-fated NO to everything policy.

As far as the 40 year plan goes, I would have to ask which plan? There have been several through the years. In fact the first plan was for a much larger population with a much greater mix of incomes and housing types. AND the current plan is very close to being built out.

I do concede that Don will most likely win the runoff ( but odder things ave happened) and if so, I wish him all the best and I hope that I am 100% wrong in my assessment of his character. PTC needs leaders that will unify the citizens.

REMEMBER - Zero Growth or negative growth + shrinking tax revenues = higher property taxes for all of us.

The key to growth now is not slapping up more homes and retail space. It is adding good paying employers.

I have been working on that since 2007. DAPC is unified and there is strong cooperation between them, Sturbaum and myself.

The division on Council will disappear. Sturbaum, Fleisch and all four of the remaining Post candidates are already talking with me and I am working on unity.

None of us are anti business. I owned and run a business for 20 years.

The key is gaining customer base and promoting our businesses. That is something I began pushing as well in 2008. DAPC is on it, been pushing Tourism to get behind it and pushed the unified cooperation of committees, authorities, etc last year.

With the exception of those who just want to keep making PTC larger and larger and building just to build I have not been getting the complaints from citizens Plunkett, Logsdon and Boone have.

No, I am not Mr. Grumpy. I actually get along with Staff and citizens far better than Plunkett does. She, Boone and Logsdon got the tons of complaints in emails, etc, over the last two years. Not me.

Any day you want to sit down and just chat, just ask. No, I don't divulged blogger names, of which I know a good number.

Don Haddix
Candidate for Mayor
DonHaddix.com

Ahh, no thanks on the sit down. Don't see much need in a pow wow with a politician in an election cycle. I have witnessed you in official and casual gatherings and frankly I'm not too impressed with the way you carry yourself and the things you say with strangers around.

Tell me this though. How is DPAC gonna have any effectiveness with no budget (I know that wasn't your call)? Are you going to give them something to work with?

And what are you going to tell the tax payers when you have to raise their property taxes?

The economy is in a slow recovery at best
Tax revenues are down - and will be for sometime
No SPLOST fund to work with (you did support the SPLOST didn't you)

AND - Don't you find it funny that when someone casts a cloud over Cal's paper, the post that had been so prominently displayed on the front page seems to vanish into the depths of the Cal's Blog section, far from the eyes of the general readers?

How has Mrs. Plunkett answered these same questions?

Have you asked her these same question or are you accepting her 'bought and paid for' sanitized answers?

Just curious.

Those that live in glass houses and all....

Why hasn't Mrs. Plunkett answered a single question posed to her on this blog? Is she claiming ignorance as to it's existence or is she claiming that all bloggers are ignorant? Which is it?

Perhaps her high dollar political consultants have advised her NOT to answer anyone via a written response? (Don't give anybody anything they can hold against you.)

Her silence is defining!

That you don't accept Mr. Haddix's responses as true/complete you must admit he responds; something Mrs. Plunkett has FAILED to do.

What say you?

I say, good point Bad.
I ask Don some tough questions on these blogs mainly because he lives here. You can always find him in the safe haven of the Citizen.
Credit where credit is due - Don always responds. He doesn't always answer the questions but he does respond. His responses do nearly always contain some form of negative character assassination toward his opponents. That's the main thing that turned me away from Don in the first place. While he was a member of Council, he spent way to much time on the blogs airing dirty laundry (never with any real proof) of the failure of the "Gang of Three". This was all in preparation for his run for Mayor and I felt he was taking unfair advantage of his position. When he resigned the post (per State law) I felt he could conduct his campaign any way he likes and I told him so in a blog post. The constant negativity still rubs me the wrong way but that's his call.

As far as Plunkett answering questions on this blog? Really? Do you think anyone in their right mind would wade into these crocodile infested blogs? This is Don's home field. Cal has seen to it that he has all the advantages (Cal's endorsement and his constant besmirchment of anyone who dares to disagree). And the bloggers here would feast on half truth and insinuations.

Although I would love to hear some of those answers. You will turn old and gray before you see her response on here.

I don't remember you being on this site til you started your campaign against Mr. Haddix and his run for Mayor. Why do you feel that by coming on this blog Mr. Haddix was taking unfair advantage of his position? Any other candidate could post as well. Mr. Imker and Mr. Rowland has used the opportunity. My feeling is Ms. Plunkett feels she does not need to be in contact with the everyday people of PTC. She has never responded to e-mails sent to her for this same reason, I suppose. As has been shown here--if Mr. Haddix answers a question he is putting himself out there too much, if he does not respond he is evading an answer. As often happens in life, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. At least he has the courage to put himself out there and take the chance on making a mistake.

It has become very evident since the election that there has been a concerted effort by some bloggers (some very new to the site) to constantly denigrate Mr. Haddix--to the extent of answering themselves back and forth. This is not lost on the rest of us. In fact, it may be accomplishing just the opposite of what they are hoping for. Most bloggers on here are pretty intelligent and informed and therefore can see right though this tactic. So, I would say--keep it up it may do Mr. Haddix more good than those high paid PR people others are using.

They say the memory is the first thing to go...
I have been a pretty regular blogger on the Citizen for 3 years - ask Cal, he's got the records.
My point was Don was using the blogs to campaign (veiled in an informative post) before the campaign began and he was still a member of council. Probably doesn't break any laws but it's not the right thing to do. Information flow is great but when you feel led to tack on "oh by the way, you guys should see the dirty underhanded things the rest of the council is up to" it's just not right. Doug Sturbaum supports Don and almost every decision made but you don't see him trashing everything and everyone in his way. Doug's a good man. We are still a small town I would hope that we had some manners but i guess I am wrong.
Not sure of what evil tactics you are accusing me of but I thought the blog was a place for opinions and friendly debate, I guess I am wrong again.

Speaking of tactics though, what's with the constant reference from you Haddix supporters about the "high price PR people" that Plunkett is using. I had no idea that she was not running her own campaign. Just because she chooses not to come on the blog and spar with you Negative Naybobs (thanks Spiro Agnew) you assume she is hiding something.

I was losing my mind--my mind is intact. I said unless my memory failed me and I guess it did. Evidently, I never read your previous blogs or forgot about them. Mea Culpa. I believe it is on record that Ms. Plunkett has spent a sizable amount on advisors, or whatever they are called. Speak of namecalling--since we do not agree with you or are thinking of backing another candidate than your choice we are suddenly Negative Nabobs--and I do believe (again if my memory does not fail me) the quote was "Nattering Nabobs of Negativity" and Spiro Agnew was referring to reporters. As for manners, are they only supposed to be used by one side? What do you call name calling but bad manners? I think you are entiltled to your opinion re: candidates and the upcoming election and I know I am entiltled to mine. So we will continute to disagree.

"His responses do nearly always contain some form of negative character assassination toward his opponents."

I can't argue with statement.

I've expressed to Mr. Haddix that he should tone it down a little as I don't see a benefit in being negative.

The voting records of the candidates is all I needed to make a decision on this race.

I do not believe Mr. Haddix is an angry man - just an incapable politician. Two years ago, I voted for Mr. Haddix as I wanted to see some change. Unfortunately, it can in the form of obstinance, unprofessional public displays, either in blogs or the poorly chosen commments and mannerisms in publc meetings. Suggesting that he gets along with staff better than Mrs Plunkett is actually an example of the blantent unsupported statements that seem prevalent with him. Mr. Sturnbaum was often in disagreement with the majority, but yet I have never seen the nasty blogs, misrepresentations and negative comments made towards the fellow council members. While I do not expect politicians to agree on all matters, I do expect there to be some type of convergence of the mind, and Mr. Haddix has always failed to effect change among the council, demonstrating an ineptness in leadership. It appears it is his way or no way - yes, the sign of a true leader.

Keep it mind, the winner may receive the majority of the votes (2800 of 5500 vs 36,000 residents), but majority of the minority is still a minority - it is not a mandate.

Amen! Doug Sturbaum for Mayor!

the site. I think you have raised some points that have obvious answers. You say you expected some "convergence of the mind,and Mr. Haddix has always failed to effect change amoung the council, demonstrating an ineptness in leadership." Please tell me how, when you having a council of five members and an apparent voting bloc of 3 on almost every vote--how do you effect change? How do you demonstrate leadership? Maybe his obstinance was because he was against the changes that this voting bloc of three was bring about-- was detrimental to our community. I would be frustrated if I were on a council where you had three people who always voted together regardless of the circumstances--in effect making the other two votes void. If his way is what is best for the citizens of PTC, then I say-it is probably better that he decided his way or no way. No one has ever come forward to refute the statements Mr. Haddix has made. And I do not believe it is because those people have decided to "take the high road" but rather that they do not have a reply. For the very reasons that you say you have decided to vote against Mr. Haddix, I am giving him my vote.

After the election is over.

Let me know after December 1.

Don Haddix
Candidate for Mayor
DonHaddix.com

With any luck I can get a sit down with Mayor Plunkett after Dec. 1st.

Mr. Haddix,

It is clear, at least to me, that you will be elected mayor on December 1st. The problem is that you haven't come clean on what you will do now that you don't have SPLOST. Unless you are more creative than your postings suggest, you know you will have to raise property taxes.

Since you know you will likely be elected you see no need to answer questions like:

What will you do to balance the city's budget during the first 100 days following your election?

What will be your priorities and how will you fund them?

I know that you will simply say that you have answered these types of questions in the past, but as far as I can tell you have not. If you have answered them, then use the copy and paste feature on your word processor.

What say you Mr. Haddix? Ready to tell us what you will do?

I've asked the same thing...the question now is, HOW MUCH?

"Mr. Haddix,

It is clear, at least to me, that you will be elected mayor on December 1st. The problem is that you haven't come clean on what you will do now that you don't have SPLOST. Unless you are more creative than your postings suggest, you know you will have to raise property taxes. "

Mr. Haddix,

My guy is out of the race and I am trying to decide between the two remaining candidates. You say you get along "far better" with the staff than Cyndi Plunkett does. Can the staff comment on that? Have any of them come out in support of you?

I can just see all staff in the different city offices raising their hands and commenting on the fact that they get along better with one candidate than another before a run-off election. If you are not self-employed or retired, and only one of your bosses could keep their position, would you be willing to go on a public forum and state that you liked or got along better with one than the other? Really doubt it. I also do not think that any employee in their right mind who wanted to continue working in the same position would publicly come out for one candidate over the other. Not necessarily because they would lose their position if their candidate lost but because if their candidate did in fact lose and they had to work with the person they had campaigned against it would be an awkward position. Just a guess, but I think you knew the answer to this one before you posed it. Awaiting your questions for Ms. Plunkett regarding her plans etc.

Well Hillary seems to work well with President Obama and she ran AGAINST him!
Just goes to prove professionalism instead of bureaucracy.

Haddix Post: "I actually get along with Staff and citizens far better than Plunkett does."

You caught me. I guess I DID know the answer to that question.
I just wanted to point out how unfair it is of Mr. Haddix to speak for a group of people (the staff) who are not permitted to speak for themselves. Is that how he plans to represent PTC?

Next: a question for Ms. Plunkett. I promise.

I don't recall over the last 3 weeks that you have been a blogger here, ever asking Ms. Plunkett a question.

In fact, I have witnessed you attack Mr. Haddix. You are no former Rowland supporter...so don't think you are fooling anyone except yourself.

How unfair was it of you to attack Haddix before the election?Did you speak for yourself when you were doing that? I recall you implying that you represented a group of people that just wanted answers. Is it fair to speak for all of them?

RD people on this blog have you figured out. You are either a "pot stirrer" or some two-bit hack trying to smudge Haddix.
Get a grip and a clue!

Fact is I already have some better relationships at State Level than does Plunkett.

In fact I have been certified as a State Annexation Arbitrator with DCA. Plunkett has no comparable credentials.

You are speaking from assumption, not fact.

Make of that as you will.

Don Haddix
Candidate for Mayor
DonHaddix.com

You, Steve and Cal have been speaking from assumption during this campaign and your short time on the council.

Make of that what you will.

Sounds to me like the pot calling the kettle black don't it Don?

Are you suggesting that he is meeting and colluding with these people? It sounds like you are the type of marketing person that throws everything against a wall to see what sticks. Are you planning on developing a property outside of PTC and petitioning for sewer and annexation? Sounds like it. Is that why you are funding Plunkett?

You prove my point precisely Wedge.

Anytime someone blogs anything against your opinion you guys jump in with some cockamamie conspiracy theory.

However, you seemed to have gotten this on right.

I AM - A major developer looking to build on a few thousand acres adjacent to PTC and will need annexation into the sewer and water system.

I DID - Donate about a million dollars to Plunkett's campaign because that's how you get things done around here.

Give me a break Wedge - GET A LIFE>

To the campaign forum where the citizens get to ask the questions and the candidates can’t hide behind their carefully crafted campaign materials.

Are you ready to step up to the plate on behalf of your candidate and field the questions she dodged at the two forums? I think there are a fair number of regulars on this website that would love to get some straight answers from Ms Plunkett (or one of her surrogates) on the issues.

-- We’d like to know why her campaign materials paint a picture that is inconsistent with her voting record?
-- Why did she try to misrepresent her voting record on the 54 West traffic signal at the first forum?
-- Can the citizens of PTC vote for her on December 1 with any confidence that she will have the integrity to actually do what she said she would do in her campaign materials?

We’re ready if you and Ms Plunkett are willing.

Plunkett and the citizens of Peachtree City. Time after time she has voted a bloc that favored developers and went against what the every- day people of Peachtree wanted and still want. No one is denying she is a nice person--a good quality but certainly does not qualify her to be mayor. It seems you are the one out with the tar brush, trying to tarnish Mr. Haddix by spreading rumors about meetings with Steve Brown. The voters listened and voted--in spite of the fact that Ms. Plunkett was the one with the glossy campaign--with the most money backing her. To me it sounds like you are trying to muddy the waters. Perhaps it is time for Ms. Plunkett to put the qualities you mention to use practicing law. It has been made plain that the people of Peachtree City are ready for a new start---and feel we can have that with Don Haddix as mayor. He has shown the people time after time that he has the welfare of the community at heart. Not always true of CYndi and her votes.
Good try, but no cigar.

Instead of making false accusations against me and false claims Cyndi came to meetings not knowing her vote ahead of time how about dealing with her voting record?

This bait and switch approach has been the norm for two years against the minority. I won't miss it.

Don Haddix
Candidate for Mayor
DonHaddix.com

with Steve Brown or not? Inquiring minds want to know. You accuse the letter writer of false accusations, is this one of them?

It is one of the false accusations.

Since I declared in January one rumor was started immediately I am Steve's surrogate. When that failed then the one I was going to hire him as City Manager. When that one failed now it is we are a team plotting policy and more. Even to the point that I have been seen at his house ever day when, in fact, I have never been to his house.

In my two years in office neither Steve or I have approached the other to try to set up any meetings or tell the other what to do.

I respect Steve but we have really strong differences on a number of issues. He has the welfare of PTC at heart and knows I do. We agree to disagree.

The real issue here is Plunkett will not step up to the plate and actually say something meaningful or even own up to her record. Instead there are these kinds of tactics.

Don Haddix

I'll take you at your word.

Good luck buddy!!

Caution - The Surgeon General has determined that constant blogging is an addiction that can cause a sedentary life style.

stand right next to Don and after he answers if he has been meeting with Steve Brown she can tell us if she has been meeting with developers, builders and Fayette County politicos or any of their representatives. All fair in love,war and politics, evidently. Or what I really should say is fair is fair.

would actually be a benefit for the Mayor. Developers do have a right to develop their property, contingent on zoning criteria, etc being met. Why not work together to come up with the best plan available for all parties. One that actually has the citizens interests at heart.

Mayorial candidate A, City Council Candidate A and B have a meeting with the ACME company. ACME company is considering developing property to the north of PTC. The company wants to emplace high density and mixed use housing. This company is already having secretive meetings with the county commissioners as well. ACME company, during this "meeting" gets an agreement-the company will funnel money to these candidates' campaigns (through a couple filable donations and many more below the filing threshold)and these candidates promise to vote in accordance with the ACME company's positions and goals. How was this meeting any more than a meeting of self-interests-not the citizens' interests?

fit the land use plan that PTC currently has? Some folks just have a hard time not going with the worst possible scenario in any case.

And since when did I imply/say that said meetings should be "secretive"?

You wanna talk about a triumvirate? How about having to sit every other week for years and listen to Harry, Cyndi, and Steve all vote yes on every pro developer request. You obviously mistake concern and genuine dismay on Mr. Haddix's face for anger. He is not an angry man. Although, sitting through countless 3-2 votes would not put a smile on anyone's face.

No one is questioning Cyndi being a nice person. She just doesn't follow the wishes of what the VOTERS want. It's as simple as that. Abuse, bullies, verbally abused, dissenting opinions????? Isn't that the life OF an attorney? She's a big girl, she can take it.

And just get over Steve Brown, will you? He is NOT running for office and is a non-issue in this race. Sounds like a little paranoia here, too. Cyndi's RECORD is the issue, and she knows that when you don't follow what your voters want, you lose the race.

Yes, Kim, there IS a disconnect in the community, and we voters are going to fix that Dec. 1st.

Evidently there is no truth to the fact that friends of Cyndi have not been able to register with TheCitizen. Your Sunday 11/08/09 12:16 am blog was posted (which I am answering) as were several others that have appeared over the past several weeks. It seems that now that it appears that Ms. Plunkett can't win any other way, some are out to spread rumor and inuendo--speak of dirty politics! Let's hope that most of the citizens of our city can see through this as they have seen through Cyndi's latest efforts to spread a smokescreen that would cover what her voting record shows--loud and clear.

We voted for Ms. Plunkett, not so much for her personality or service on the council, but because we didn't want the other candidates!

One can not let a vote or two (west side) make up your mind totally, but one of the candidates has zero experience at anything and is unknowing; the other wants the job too badly!

We need someone of maturity, self-made, and with no agenda., or close friends of town officials.

Too bad Haddix isn't that person, but whatta ya gonna do?

Wonder if Mr. Hudson of the Braves would be interested next time?

If Cal lets me blog here it kinda shows the forum is open to opposing opinions. When I find myself in agreement with him, I have to pause and double check my reasoning.

So... What is your defense of Cyndi?

The folks have spoken loud and clear Cyndi…you ruined your chances of becoming the first female Mayor buy aligning yourself with the other council losers…let us begin healing the damage you and the rest of your “former” council members have done to our city…SUSPEND YOUR CAMPAIGN and let Mr. Haddix begin focusing his attention on undoing the wrongs of the past 4 years.

Logsdon's Statewide Run for Political Rags to Riches mirrors many other mundance local pols who evaded their pasts. Agreed Flip--- lots of wrongdoings but over a longer period than 4 years. Logsdon was just the latest "Feed at the Trough". No one statewide will have a clue how he did stuff like the illegal million dollar good ole boy bailout at the Tennis Center. And, special interest money will spot him a mile a way as an easy mark. If elected he'll be like Tommy Irvin--- broke when he got elected state wide and rich when he leaves.

Your implication is that the Citizen is eliminating or disallowing the registration of Plunkett supportters. what a bunch of unmitigated Barbara Streisand. If there was a robust registration, then Bonkers wouldn't have six logins and different names. Get a clue, vote for your candidate if you want to. Support her on this blog. Don't write fiction and expect to be taken seriously.

I get the "Barbara Streisand" innuendo, I just thought you got your Babbsy's confused.
LOL
HAAAHAAHAAA!

Imagine how Truman felt when he saw the headlines.
This is a pretty immature post and if you are the candidate and not some CHRPR who has hijacked your identity,, I'm switching my vote, to someone who sounds like they might really do the job.

Thanks for input. I'll go with the chick, the one who doesn't whine.

At least it's rational whining

You act like a shrew. I did not have a real dog in the Post 1 fight, i was decently comfortable with whomever was elected. No more. I will do my best to influence people to vote for Imker. I am so tired of your asinine commentary on these races. Good luck Imker, I do not know you, but I will vote for you.
