County Manager Presents Annual Budget Message
Derek Roland delivered his 6th budget message as county manager to the Macon County Board of Commissioners. The verbal delivery lasted just over an hour. Both video and pdf copies of the message have been added to the online article. [LINK]
Outlook
Dry and relatively cool high pressure will move off the southeast coast today. An upper ridge is expected to build across the Deep South late in the week into the weekend that will anchor a Bermuda high. This will lead to warm early summer-like conditions with a chance of mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms each day in the region.
