I am

writing to suggest that there is no "dilemma,"

and there is no question about what should be done with

the taxpayer's money. The council should vote to reduce

the millage rate accordingly, thereby lowering the city's

taxation of homeowners in Peachtree City.

The

property owners of Peachtree City already bear the lion's

share of the tax burden. We are paying for many amenities

and benefits enjoyed by all of the (non-homeowner)

residents, businesses and their (non-resident) employees,

and visitors to the city. We also shoulder the costs of

essential infrastructure and public safety services.

As our

elected representatives, you are positioned to act

courageously on the taxpayer's behalf in this moment of

rare opportunity. We are already quite well taxed by the

federal government, the state of Georgia and Fayette

County.

The time

has come for tax relief to begin; the place for that

beginning is right here in Peachtree City. Please vote to

lower our tax burden for the coming year.

Remember:

We the people are watching you!
