Do you
intend to publish the voting record of all city elected
officials and city employees?
Are
employees of Peachtree City hired, promoted, or fired
based on their voter record?
All
military personnel, and most civil servants and elected
officials, swear an oath to "defend and protect the
Constitution of the United States" - not Bob
Lenox, not Peachtree City, not Georgia and not the United
States - but the "Constitution against all
enemies, foreign and domestic."
We have a
right to expect our elected officials to be visionaries
for our future - to see where we want our city to be
in five, 10, 20 years. We expect them to anticipate and
solve problems concerning our growth, our schools,
protecting the covenants of our neighborhoods, enforcing
the upkeep of rental properties, limiting the loss of
green space to commercial development, and preventing
timely and efficient solutions to our traffic problems.
We have the
right to vote. It's our individual civic responsibility
to do so, or not, without threat of intimidation from our
elected officials.
I believe
this new policy announced by Mayor Bob Lenox and the city
council, and refusal to address it to the public forum in
which it was announced will do more to damage the image
of Peachtree City than the failure of any individual to
vote.
