**Note** I will not be able to process the audio or video of this meeting until Thursday because I made the mistake of recording the Town Board of Aldermen meeting in HD and forgot how very long that resolution of video takes to process. I apologize for the mistake. It will also preclude my tweeting of this meeting on my @wpig account. I will be using @ThunderPig tonight.
The Macon County Commissioners will be meeting tonight at 6.00pm in the Commissioners Board Room. I will be there to tweet the meeting and record video, but will not be providing live video. You may follow my tweets at #MaconGov, using your favorite twitter client, or on the widget below. Once the meeting is over, I will replace the widget with a record of my tweets from the meeting, and I will upload video and audio from the meeting as soon as I am able to process it. Meanwhile, you can watch the last meeting.
