Ranked #8 In CNN’s top 100 cities to live in, but we don’t act like it!How is it possible that we allow the median in front of two of our most prominent facilities to get in such a sad state? What am I talking about you ask? Have you seen the median on Planterra Way directly in front of our city’s Visitor Center and our Tennis complex? The vegetation has been allowed to grow to depths of more than two feet and it’s not slated to be trimmed until September or October! Those in charge have relegated this area, as well as many others, to mowing but four times a year! We should be outraged; it’s a blight, eyesore, and embarrassment. Should I ever contemplate allowing my personal property to deteriorate to such a sad state the city would surely cite me. Haddix whining!In an effort to learn something about this candidate’s platform, I tried visiting his advertised donhaddix.com site. Unless I’m doing something wrong, this site reflects: “This account has been suspended. ALL SOUTH RobertsonAnyone got a clue what is going on with them?

I wonder if the PTC Mayor and Council members are up to doing this. http:/ Local PoliticsIt amazes me that people are not talking about the local races, oh yeah, I guess those were over in July. What do we have left to decide locally? Fulton County Fire DepartmentWhat does it say to people when a public safety job is cut. How can the fire chief stand in front of a camaera and state "services will not be affected by job cuts". $5600 Well Spent!! MAYOR and Manger JOB WELL DONE!I am tired of people BITCHIN about $5600 that the Mayor and City Manager spent on a trip to China. OHHH the poor seniors have to spend Ten bucks to get in the Taj Mahal to play bridge....I am a firm believer that you have to spend money to make money. If it cost $5600 to send a couple of folks to China to lure tax paying companies into Peachtree City than so be it. WE NEED more trips like this selling Peachtree City to companies who will bring JOBS to our area and support OUR economy. YOU Liberals speak out both sides of your freakin heads and are CONSTANTLY complaining. If they were not doing anything to lure jobs and firm TAX BASE to our city you would be complaining as well. MR. Mayor and City Manager keep up the good work and continue what you are doing. TDKwhat is going on at TDK?

I attended the Republican Party's Candidate ForumLast night the Republican Party hosted a candidate forum for the Sheriff, DA and Probate Judge candidates. It was very well done! I'm Voting for Scott BallardMy name is Holly Peace. Scott Ballard hired me as his legal assistant in August, 2003. I worked for him at Ballard & Ballard helping him defend criminals in Fayette County for a year, until he came to me one day and said he was running for District Attorney. He told me that he had a heart for protecting this circuit, and felt there was a need for someone to step in and do a better job of prosecuting. To do this, Scott gave up a much larger salary, opened his personal life to the public, and worked hard to campaign for the position. Ballard soft on Child Molesters - moreposted earlier in the citizen: His prior “courtroom” experience was spent defending the very same criminals he now claims he will prosecute, including child molesters. ICE Rinks for Peachtree CityOne of the other papers thrown in the drive had a major headline about developers meeting with PTC officials and proposing an Athletic Complex including ice hockey rinks for all the Northwest folks coming from up North to PTC.
