MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)- Macon-Bibb County residents will go back to paying their garbage fees every quarter.

The Macon-Bibb County commission overrode Mayor Robert Reichert’s veto with 8 votes, Tuesday night.

Last Thursday, Mayor Robert Reichert sent a letter to county clerk stating he was vetoing the commission’s decision.
