Consolidation of the Macon and Bibb County governments is going to be on the table again, probably as soon as this summer. State Rep. Allen Peake, true to his word when he rejected Mayor Robert Reichert's annexation plan, said he's getting that ball rolling again.
It occurs to me, when you consider that we've also got elections this summer and fall, Reichert's annexation vote planned in July, the likelihood that the city and county will renegotiate the penny local option sales tax and the service delivery strategy and the possibility that discussions will begin this year on a new a new special purpose local option sales tax, might this be the busiest, most political summer Macon and Bibb County have seen in quite some time?

Vic, it's not even close to that bad and you know it. Hyperbole hurts your cause more than it can ever help it.

I once worked at a paper in North Carolina. We got a letter to the editor where the local chief of police was compared to Hitler. And someone else wrote in to say that, until the chief starts lining people up on the river bank and putting bullets in their heads, let's try to keep a little perspective.
But, you know, whatever.
