No Consolidation Vote This Year

I will be on News/Talk 940 WMAC 6-9am again this morning.  You can also listen online at www.wmac-am.com.  The phone number is (478) 742-0940.

 

The Georgia State Fair starts today in Central City Park.

 

State Senator Robert Brown has killed the idea of a consolidation vote happening this year, and he doesn't care what the public thinks about it.  He wants to see a restructuring plan that would be designed for racial tension.

 

Mayor Robert Reichert has included a pay scale for city employees in his fiscal year 2011 budget.  This is a step in the right direction for fighting the crime problem.

 

The woman arrested last month for giving oral sex to a Macon police officer before he arrested her is planning to sue the city over the incident.  It doesn't help that the police officer is still at work.

 

A man was stabbed in a fight Sunday night after going to a bootleg house to buy beer.  That's another criminal act that could have been avoided without prohibition.

 

A man was robbed and carjacked at gunpoint Monday night and yet again 13 WMAZ refused to give a description of the thugs who did it.  There were also two armed robberies Tuesday evening at the Eisenhower Crossing shopping center, but no description of those suspects either.

 

Macon is getting a pilot program meant to stop criminals from turning back to crime after getting out of prison.

 

Bibb County Sheriff's Deputies have issued a warrant for the arrest of a woman for leaving her children in a car while she went shopping.

 

The Houston County Board of Education voted to make more budget cuts yesterday, but they couldn't bring themselves to cut retired part-time employees.

 

The state budget is finished.  No word yet on what they have done with regards to funding for the Sports and Music Halls of Fame.

 

The legislature will now allow government schools to accept private donations for field trips.

 

The attempt to ban texting while driving could prove to be a lawyer's best friend.

 

How screwy is this whole debate over carrying guns in a bar?  Pretty screwy considering the attitudes towards alcohol in the General Assembly.

 

Austin Scott may drop out of the race for Governor to challenge Jim Marshall instead.  This would be a very wise move.

 

A third of married women say that their pet listens better than their husband.

 

A woman bit a man for calling her fat.
