We generate almost half of

the sales in the county so our money will fund the county-wide road projects

and yet not one of the city's projects even make the priority list

of the county.

Why would we pay extra taxes

to pay for everyone else's road improvements? Again, it is only equitable

that we ask that some of our dollars be spent in our city. My opponent

does not agree with me on this matter.

In conclusion the starting

of widening of Ga. Highway 54 West and the escalation of widening Ga.

Highway 74 South of Hwy. 54 are good starts to improving the traffic in

PTC. These projects need local matching funds to complete the improvements.

For 23 years, my job has been

to cut costs, modify government budgets and set the financial priorities

for cities and counties. Searching through spreadsheet after spreadsheet

and line by line budgets extracting savings from each department is something

I do every day.

My experience allows me to

know what a reasonable expense is and what is not. I know how to ensure

that all funds are used efficiently, identify ways to reduce cost with

better management and competitive bidding.

If you have any questions on

the above positions or have other concerns you would like me to comment

on prior to the runoff election feel free to give me a call at 770-632-0846.

Being an elected official in Peachtree City would be a great honor and

I would appreciate your vote on Nov. 25.
