Macon won’t be a smoke free city at least for now. Tuesday Macon City Council Voted to uphold the mayor’s veto of a smoking ban ordinance.
“I think it would’ve driven a lot of business to the county, especially with bars and clubs,” said Elijah Davis of Macon.
Davis works at Element, a local night club in downtown Macon. He’s glad City Council voted to uphold the mayor’s veto of the smoking ban. Some council members believe the public did not get an opportunity to voice their concerns with the ban.
“I don’t smoke but people who are affected by it should have a right to speak on it and it should not be crammed down folk’s throat,” said Councilman Charles Jones.
