MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb Commissioner Al Tillman has announced his resignation from the Macon-Bibb County Commission for District 9, effective immediately.

Macon-Bibb says he made the announcement during the Committee of the Whole Meeting on Tuesday, January 9.

Tillman cited the need to concentrate on his family and his business, Teeger Entertainment, as the reasons for his departure.

In a letter addressed to District 9 citizens, fellow commissioners and supporters, Tillman wrote about his nearly 10-year journey with the Macon-Bibb County government, thanking his neighbors for entrusting him and highlighting achievements, including the elimination of double taxation and improvements in governmental efficiency.

“In District 9, together, we’ve been able to expand Log Cabin to include a sidewalk and increase pedestrian safety; create Filmore Thomas Park, which provides a safe place for children, families, and the community to gather for fun; and set the foundation for reigniting the economic flame for Eisenhower corridor by establishing the Eisenhower Improvement District,” he wrote.
