Okay – so next time vote in a Republican or Independent. I lived in this town for 8 years early on in my life. This mayor has been nothing but an embarassment for this wonderful southern town.
| MACON, Ga.�—� Some Macon residents have called for demonstrations and boycotts after the mayor of the central Georgia city formally reached out to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with a declaration of solidarity. |
|
Mayor Jack Ellis said the declaration, sent about two weeks ago by courier, was a message that local leaders can stand together despite disagreements at the highest reaches of government.
|
Former mayoral candidate David Corr said the mayor’s comments were “an
outrage.” “We should condemn Chavez as an enemy of liberty,” Corr said. “In fact, we
should also condemn Ellis as an enemy of liberty.” |
| State Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, said the mayor’s action “taints” the town. “I think it’s a negative for us,” he told The Macon Telegraph. “We need to be doing things in this community that show the tremendous positives of Macon.” |
