RecallEllis has joined the past. Per WMAC-AM's newscast Jim Palmer expresses no desire to appeal the ruling that struck down the application for recall petition. Worse, the liberal Macon Telegraph thinks Council and Mayor Ellis should work on "communications".

If we can't deal with Mayor Ellis himself let us try to blunt his sword of incompetency. Those enabling the mayor will be dealt with and those who are trying to stave off his destruction need bookoodles of support.

The remnants of RecallEllis and their friends need to form a PAC of some form to bring in new City Council members with vertebrae, support Joe Allen and other commissioners wanting to wrest some county service from city hands, and conduct a publicity effort to sell the notion that whatever the mayor is trying to pull is a shenanigan.

The PAC won't be just an anti-Ellis effort; it needs to be a pro-Macon/Bibb effort. Why should City Council look at local business leaders as liars as it did this fall as per the hotel? Furthermore, why should they hire a consultant when they should have enough sense to say yes or no to hotel plans?

It is sickening to find myself in Eddie Smith's court on this matter but just because he likes pepperoni pizza doesn't mean I'm going to start eating sausage pizza from now on. All is fair in love and politics I guess.

I don't count on citizens lining up behind the GETBACKCJACKPAC but it gives them a way to not worry about racial labels or going after just one part of the problem. Maybe the idea wiill fly but remember the citizens are partly to blame for our problems. And I still wish I had a U-Haul agency in Macon.
