Local Meetings
Macon Media streamed two local meetings to YouTube yesterday. Copies are embedded below. The video of the library board meeting is a partial one because Macon Media had to leave that meeting in order to cover the county commissioner meeting.
Edited versions will be published later this week. Some segments of the county commissioner's meeting will have additional documentation published with them in the public interest.
