As far as Mr. Quigley's

comments, what did you expect his answer to be? If you

want to find out check the statistics on crime committed

at MARTA stations and on the trains.

I am not worried about

26-inch televisions; I am worried about the criminals

coming to our town and breaking in homes, stealing money,

jewels, committing rape, robbing banks, you name it. If

they want a 26-inch television, they can pay the MARTA

one-way ticket, steal a car here, and put the television,

stereo, guns in the trunk and go home.

Peachtree City is already

paying the price for over development because the

politicians keep on letting the developers add more and

more housing. The master plan to stop at 25,000 residents

is gone, and now we are talking about 38,000. But, there

is also a plan to annex another 1,000 acres - just

what we needed!

As far as automobiles being

blamed for pollution, why is it that we have to get our

cars inspected while gravel and cement trucks as well as

big trucks can put out big clouds of heavy black diesel

fumes with no penalty? As I understand it, big trucks are

not subject to pollution inspections.

The new commission formed

every year plus force the 13 metro Atlanta counties to

use more expensive gasoline. Some environmental groups

are demanding the implementation of stricter standards

for SUVs, minivans, and light trucks. How would the

owners of the above mentioned vehicles like that?

I have worked in Peachtree

City for 33 years and lived here for 13. I remember the

peaceful town we once had. I thought the idea of living

here was to enjoy the peaceful, uncluttered city we all

love. Back then we understood that when you lived in

Peachtree City it was for low crime, great surroundings,

peace and quiet. We also knew that the price for enjoying

our city was that it would be necessary to have to travel

a bit to get some items.
