When I saw the title of the article in the paper last weekend, “PTC hikes Kedron pool fees, team fees untouched,” I knew the swim teams would probably once again be thrashed in the Free Speech section of the newspaper. We would probably be portrayed as people who are getting away with murder on what we pay to play.

I felt compelled to respond to some of the comments I read in a letter included in the May 27 issue complaining about The Citizen’s cartoons bashing Obama.

In reply to the letter from Pat Cochran in the Wednesday, May 27, 2009 edition:

Keeping the question as to whether President Obama’s leadership is “outstanding” for another time, I find it amusing and frightening that Ms. Cochran wants editorial cartoons of President Obama stopped because she doesn’t like them.

Fayette County has a zero-tolerance drug policy for anyone that works for the county. Why does this not apply to our esteemed Board of Commissioners? Are they above the law?

Mr. Horgan, I was shocked and alarmed to see an article in the paper this morning regarding your possession of marijuana. I grew up in Fayette County and take great pride in calling Fayetteville home, as my parents still do.

Is it just me? Some things seem so obvious, yet .... Once again I am witness to public officials thinking they are rock stars, behaving with total disregard for the law, expecting the consequences to disappear like smoke, then asking pardon for what they propose to be a mistake.

Share the road works both ways. Why are adult bicyclists so arrogant?

“I’m sorry, officer. I know my tag has expired, but I’ve been so busy lately being responsible to the voters of Fayette County, I haven’t had a chance to get it renewed. I was going to get a new registration last week, but I met this businessman on the street corner and spent the money on a bag of his wares. What? Driving under the influence? I thought I was parked. Please don’t search my truck. You’re not going to give me a ticket, are you? I’m a Fayette County commissioner. I thought county commissioners were above the law. What the heck. I’ll still get re-elected. My slogan for the next election will be, “If you take a toke, give me your vote.”
