Macon-Bibb Mayor Lester Miller proposing restriction of pawn and liquor licenses

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Mayor Lester Miller is proposing an indefinite plan to ban liquor and pawn shop licenses.

He says that after drawing a map around areas where crime happens, his top concern is Public Safety.

He’s hoping to diminish crime after Macon-Bibb had more than 50 homicides in 2020.

Miller says this is only a piece of the puzzle to help and stop what’s happening.

The commission will talk about the plan on Tuesday, January 5 and vote on it the following Tuesday.
