The Needs of the Many

Peachtree City recently cut jobs in response to the current economic crisis. In an novel effort, the city counsel put out a survey to decide if all employees were willing to take a 25 percent pay cut. A resounding 90 percent of workers decided "NO". Peachtree City will release 23 employees and outsource project to save over 800,000 dollars.

I have a personal stake in the decision to eliminate the 23 employees. My mother currently works for Peachtree City and supports my collegiate education. In addition, Peachtree City covers my medical expenses. The current situation cannot be remedied through budget cuts. Peachtree City must, however unpopular, increase millage rates.
