'Elitist'

argument a usual Hillary tactic

It is my opinion

that [Donna Lee] Lakly and Hillary Clinton use the same

tactics. If someone disagrees with you then you attack

them personally and call them "elitist."

[Bob] Craft and I share a

very similar view concerning the absurd growth rate in

this county. If it were not for the foolish approval of

higher density almost every time rezoning was requested,

the school board would not be using scare tactics to

force us to approve SPLOST.

I admit that growth is

inevitable. But when the city of Fayetteville has grown

58 percent from 1990-98, Peachtree City has grown 61

percent in the same time span and the county has also

grown at a ridiculously high rate, then those public

officials who are at fault deserve the criticism.

Mrs. Lakly said that we

"should be thanking those who did serve and were

able to compromise and work within the long-range

plan..." Excuse me, but these politicians in

question would look at the land-use plan, which is a

20-year plan, and rezone immediately without considering

the repercussions.

Why can we not have

controlled growth instead of explosive growth? Thanks to

those whom Mrs. Lakly is so viciously defending, traffic

is horrible, the schools overcrowded and the crime rate

soaring. Has anyone noticed the problem with the jail?

Mr. Craft should be thanked

for his participation in the political process, not

condemned because you disagree with his politics. He is

in the kitchen, creating the heat, and I for one like

what he is cooking.
