Lenox is Springer-like ringmaster

Lenox

is Springer-like ringmaster

I couldn't help but

laugh when I read Mayor Bob Lenox's recent letter to The

Citizen, setting forth ground rules in the publishing of

his coming installments of letters.

The Clintonesque attitude

that Mayor Lenox has taken is yet another round of what

seems to be the local version of the "Jerry Springer

Show" where Mayor Lenox attempts to portray the

image of the only bit of sanity in a circus of characters

that must be reigned in. Thankfully, we have Ringmaster

Lenox to "give us the facts," just as Springer

gives us his "final thought." Knowing the

messenger taints the message.

I believe it's safe to say

that the actions of many of our local politicians mirror

what we see in society: rather than "public

servants," what we are seeing is public office being

used to further one's own agenda, if not perhaps their

own ego. Citizens organize and present their united

opinion on issues, only to be ignored in the final

result.

I applaud Dan Tennant's

stand in getting the service back into

"public service." Apparently you hit a nerve

with the mayor, Mr. Tennant, in standing up for what's

right. This makes you, in his own words, "self

righteous, pompously indignant and woefully

inept..." Well if that's what you are, Mr. Tennant,

we need to see more of it!

While I don't reside in

Peachtree City, I hope my neighbors there will watch

closely, and remember, the antics of their mayor, and

send a strong signal via the voting booth next year.

Let's expect more from those who claim to represent our

best interests, from the president to mayor and his posse

of town council members.
