- <p> MERRY CHRISTMAS, ZELL. In an expansive holiday mood,
- outgoing Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young sent some truly memorable
- Christmas cards to his constituents this year--at the expense
- of the taxpayers. The place-mat-size cards (9 1/2 in. by 14
- in.) featured a cluttered montage of Atlanta scenes and a
- handsome portrait of Young with the caption "Municipal Leader
- of the Year, 1989," an honor bestowed upon him last year by
- American City & County magazine. Among the 1,500 Christmas card
- recipients: Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller, an opponent of
- Young's in this year's Democratic Party gubernatorial primary.
- Citing the $2,500 cost of the mailing, Miller thundered, "If
- this man is elected Governor, what will he send out in 1991?
- A billboard?"
