Mayor 'Annex' is stacking the deck in favor of density

Supersoakers at the

July 4th parade are a tradition. Fortunately, Ms.

Herman's letter seeking "common sense" did not

suggest that no one should get wet. Because the people's

wishes are ignored, it is the only opportunity to show

politicians our dissatisfaction.

Hitting

Mayor "Annex" in the back was symbolic of how

he is stabbing Peachtree City residents in the back with

his unwanted annexation project. No amount of negative

feedback, apparently, is going to slow him down.

He is again

using the old "committee" strategy, just like

he did when the residents clamored for a smoking

ordinance. Back then he stacked a committee with business

owners and smokers (like himself) who did not want to ban

smoking. Surprise! The committee recommended a worthless

sign ordinance.

Is there

anyone out there who does not think this new

"committee" will recommend annexation that will

allow developers to double the population for that area

than the county zoning would have allowed?

Any council

member considering a vote for annexation should be

required to spend one week driving continuously on Ga.

Highway 54 from Peachtree Parkway to Ga. Highway 34 and

back, during the commuting hours of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to

7 p.m. That alone should eliminate any positive votes.

Council

members should also realize that helping their developer

buddies with annexation would be political suicide.

Anyone voting to annex would have difficulty being

elected dog catcher. Citizens always jettison politicians

who do not listen.

Let us not

rush this thing through. Let us put an opinion poll on

the November ballot and see just what the Peachtree City

population wants. Or is Mayor "Annex" unwilling

to hear the wishes of his constituents?
