MACON, Ga. — For the first time in 13 years, a transition of power is underway inside the Macon-Bibb County Government Center. Mayor Robert Reichert is preparing to step down, and Mayor-Elect Lester Miller will take over.
You can tell how busy it is when you walk into the Government Center -- from the ongoing renovations to Reichert and Miller getting ready for the big transition at the beginning of the year.
The mayor's office is being renovated for the first time in at least 13 years. It's getting a fresh coat of paint and new carpet. In the hall, portraits are waiting to be hung of the new mayor and commission.
