Mayor's 'Don't vote, don't ask' policy: If you don't vote, will fire department answer call?

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.

Ronald

S. Fong

Peachtree City
