On balance, I doubt the new
administration in Peachtree City has done its taxpayers any favors by
hiring out-of-county lawyers. Nobody might care much that it has not done
local lawyers any favor, but just as nobody tries to bring Atlanta's Bill
Campbell to serve as Peachtree City mayor, perhaps our elected officials
could stop imagining that outsiders have all the answers and the locals
know nothing. When our elected officials need favors or votes, it's the
locals they'll be going to.
If the talent to be mayor of
Peachtree City can be found in Peachtree City, so can the talent to be
city attorney, or solicitor, or municipal court judge.
