Eric Imker

[Don Haddix]

It is pretty obvious Imker is working toward another run for office.

He is desperately trying to reinvent himself and escape his history. That cannot be allowed.

On the recent issues of council wanting to move from village concept to a downtown, Imker was silent. That is because he opposes the village concept.

Mayor Haddix: ‘Which is the real Eric Imker?’ - The Citizen

“’You ran on the premise of no tax increases,’ Posey said of Imker, ‘… And I think this is the time to rein in the belt, not spend, spend, spend.’” “Imker later noted that he devised more than $2 million in budget cuts last year that were defeated on separate council votes. And because the …

Looking for something else I stumbled across this.

Please indulge me for a point of personal privilege to respond to those few council supporters who attacked me with incomplete claims.

This shows the efforts to suppress First Amendment rights of elected officials and citizens is not new in Peachtree City.

Beware of those who love to label those who disagree with them as being negative.

Brown: PTC Council’s censure of Haddix’s free speech is troubling - The Citizen

You have, no doubt, heard the expression, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” Another reality alongside that statement is it disappears so slowly you do not realize you are losing it. Freedom of expression is part of the bedrock of our country. Our country works because our people...

PTC revamps ethics rules, ditches citizen involvement - The Citizen

By unanimous vote, the Peachtree City Council approved sweeping changes to its ethics ordinance Feb. 20, including the replacement of a citizen ethics board with an attorney from outside the city who would sit in judgment of specific complaints as a “hearing officer.” Under the new ordinance...

This is for Mike LaTella who keeps trying to reinvent history.

He was the chairman of the old ethics committee and found me guilty before any meeting had taken place and never took place.

For those who were not aware, the councilmembers had to retract, in writing, all their actions and claims.

Simple fact is they broke the law and lied based on Imker's claim I did not have the resources to do anything about it.

Well, I do and did and they lost.

PTC Councilman Imker draws jeers for budget stands - The Citizen

I voted for Don Haddix because of his campaign promises and how he handled his agenda when he was a council member. The other council members, Fleisch, Learnard and Imker, also made and projected similar agendas during their campaigns and so being somewhat like-minded, I thought, I also voted...

Look at the 2014 budget on the city website. You see that the mayor and council salaries doubled from 2013.

Put it simply, Imker lied about the salary in 2009.

With the publication of the GIRMA letter online and in this week’s print edition, the last quasi-legal pretense of the Peachtree City Council majority has been thoroughly discredited. According to City Councilman Eric Imker, Mayor Don Haddix “stole” nearly $10,000 from the city to pay for...

Imker rewriting history.

Remember – Nobody cares - The Citizen

This is a good news/bad news letter, mostly to point out why we need Peachtree City Council members who should be taking better care of our tax money. Did you know we are getting an extra $1 million dollars each year from what was planned from SPLOST (the 1 cent extra sales tax)? This is …

I have the proven experience and know-how on making sure our tax dollars are wisely spent. Nobody can come close to my fiscal acumen and making sure the citizens know how their tax dollars are being spent, i.e., transparency.

Only in Imker's mind.

Last week I filed my “Declaration of Intention to Accept Campaign Contributions” for mayor of Peachtree City. The election is in 2021 but it’s never too early. This is the first step towards that goal. My top three issues are fiscal responsibility with our tax dollars, traffic solutions and land...

And once again Imker gets it wrong.

Mike King proposed even years, not Imker. Nor did the proposal get three votes to pass it on to the legislature.

As well, the process is Council passes and then submits to the state legislature. If they approve it has to go on a voter referendum.

It has been submitted in the past but the legislature always says no.
Additionally, to make it work terms have to be shortened, they cannot be lengthened, to change the rotation.
The legislature prefers a 5 vote, but does not require it.

Councilman King urges shift of PTC city election cycle to even years - The Citizen

Peachtree City Councilman Mike King wants to shift city elections to even-numbered years, and is asking the council to lobby the Georgia General Assembly to change the law. King also wants the council to make the choice between lengthening or shortening the terms of those to be affected by the...
