May 8–Macon City Councilwoman Filomena Mullis said Monday she will not seek
re-election to her at-large Ward V seat.
Come December, the ward’s residents will be represented by a slate of council
members entirely different from those elected in 2003.
Councilman Cole Thomason said last week he will give up his Post 3 seat in the
ward when his term expires. And while Councilwoman Nancy White will return if
she wins re-election, she has been on the council less than a year. White won a
special election last summer.
