I voted against the tax exemption

because I do not favor exemptions of our citizens in time of diminishing

revenues, and I certainly do not favor expanding our city government by

the employment of another city manager, call his or her title what you

may. If the new manager be not capable of performing the duties assigned

to him, or if he be unwilling to share his salary with an assistant, I

would recommend that he be replaced.

Certainly, with Peachtree City

in the final phase of build-out, the duties of the city manager could

not compare to the complexities and problems faced and surmounted by his

predecessor.

I see no reason that City Hall

can't cut its expenditures, when it is asking the people for more help.

Surely, it should not expand.
