Letter to the Editor: Peachtree City Council Actions Speak Louder Than Words
A childhood phrase, "actions speak louder than words," has proven to be particularly relevant after the Peachtree City council meeting on August 21, 2025, which focused on the city budget.
Using a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, surprising details were uncovered about council members' travel and incidental expenses. Notable expenditures include:
- Laura Johnson: $6,831.48 in memberships and travel
- Suzanne Brown: $1,311.37 in discretionary expenses
- Clint Holland: $15,242.10 over the same period, with a total of $21,988
Actions speak louder than words
These findings contrast with public claims made by Suzanne Brown and Clint Holland, who both stated they are careful stewards of taxpayer dollars.
