Rep. Peake Says Macon-Bibb Co. Consolidation is Road to Growth

The main question for local leaders is would consolidation of the city and county’s governments benefit the area?

Now the voters could have their say in the matter, if Representative Allen Peake’s bill passes through the house on Monday and then the senate in the weeks to come.

The bill could have a hard time getting through the senate, but if it does voters will answer the question for themselves in November.

“It’s time that we take a new look at how we govern ourselves and I believe this bill will provide us significantly smaller and efficient government,” said Peake.
