Together, we can make sure that when future generations reflect on this time in our history, they will see our resolve and our results and be inspired to meet whatever challenges they may confront," Mayor Lester M. Miller told a socially distanced crowd at his and the Commissioners' Inauguration on December 30, 2020 at the Historic Macon City Auditorium.
