    I am a Macon native and have voted for every SPLOST and voted “Yes” on every consolidation measure, but I will not vote for the T-SPLOST. Proponents will say Georgia has the lowest motor fuel tax in the Southeast. They conveniently fail to mention that we are the only state in the ...

    It seems that absolutely nothing is getting done in Macon City Council meetings since they converted to the King James version, though Queen Elaine seems quite content to see it this way. Me thinks that squire Reichert does possess the patience of Job, bless his heart. Make 2012 the year of consolidation...

    I’m saddened to read of Danny Glover’s resignation as chair of the Bibb County Democratic Party. As an independent voter, I was encouraged by Glover’s leadership. He brought youth, enthusiasm, intelligence and independent judgment to the office. If it’s true that his ...

    On May 5, Susan and Gene Dunwody invited Shirley and I join them at the Grand Opera House for the Macon Symphony Orchestra presentation of “Bond and Beyond.” It featured music from James Bond, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “The Mission,” “Phantom of ...

    “Three words, eight minutes,” said R. Kirby Godsey, in the opening comments of his commencement speech to some 800 Macon State College grads this past Friday. As he promised that, given those eight minutes, he would provide a foundation for life. As investments go, those eight minutes...
