MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb County Commissioners passed a boost in pay Tuesday night for fully vaccinated employees.
“We believe that we’re about saving lives, and we want to lead by example,” Mayor Lester Miller said during a commission meeting. “We’re not asking to mandate. We certainly could do that, the mandate, as well. Other companies have done that. We haven’t even done the mask mandate. We’re trying to incentivize instead of penalize.”
