The Macon County Board of Commissioners selected Emergency Management Director Warren Cabe as the interim County Manager while they interview applicants who are seeking to be the new county manager. Cabe will start at a little over $154,000 a year and previously served the Town of Franklin as Fire Chief and as Town Manager. 

One person was asked to leave the meeting by Chairman Gary Shield after an outburst, then banned from attending further meetings by Chairman Gary Shields as she continued with her outburst and cursed at Commissioner John Shearl on her way out of the boardroom.
