It is not important what was

said; the divorce is now over and both parties are getting on with their

lives. Suffice it to say I was not determined to damage Mr. Tennant and

never intended the statement to go beyond his divorce proceedings.

Upon reflection of how events

unfolded, I can certainly understand why Mr. Tennant was upset with my

involvement in this matter. I realize divorce is difficult and personal,

especially for a public official, and I apologize to Mr. Tennant for my

involvement in his.

In the same light, I, Dan Tennant,

have come to understand that Susan Brown was likely not involved in a

deliberate attempt to damage me personally, professionally, or politically.

The statement Ms. Brown purports to have repeated was apparently not told

to her in confidence and was evidently told to several individuals by

Ms. Faulkner. It is a disgrace that I felt compelled to have to defend

myself, but I had little reason to believe any different from what appeared

quite clear on its face. I now accept that I may have been incorrect in

my beliefs.

Because I wish no personal

or professional harm to come to Ms. Brown, her family, or Nancy Faulkner,

and in order to promote a more harmonious spirit in Peachtree City politics,

I have therefore decided not to pursue any complaint with the State Bar

of Georgia against Ms. Brown or [Peachtree City Attorney Rick] Lindsey

regarding this matter.

After having discussed the

matter in detail, both of us can see where the other side was coming from

and how we came to the conclusions that were made.

We have decided to put this

matter behind us and move forward in a positive light, and hope everyone

else involved will follow suit. As of today, we both consider this matter

over.
