Summary:The discussion continues about "saggy pants" in Atlanta ["Atlanta officials buckle not in saggy pants war," AJC News, Aug. 29].

[Perdue]'s PR efforts attempted to ameliorate a voting public that has every right to be aggravated with the foreseeable consequences of cutting the education budget --- in a state that already ranks low. We, the voters, need to push for accountability and ideas that address our state's education woes, rather than peppy PR blurbs that make us want to "go fish."
