I want our local government to be more progressive, more responsive to its citizens, more committed to the quality of life in our unique city.  In this time of challenge for the city and county, I urge everyone to be involved in our local government - Democracy requires hard work on the part of its citizens!

I am very proud to be a native of Macon-Bibb County, GA.

Thank you all,  

- Lindsay

He has already helped to save Liberty Lake, Ingleside Avenue, Ocmulgee Old Fields  and  Brown's Mount - Now He is WANTED to help save Bibb County and its principal city - Macon, Georgia. - Disclaimer: I had a lot of help with those earlier projects, and I will need a lot of help to accomplish the action plans below!   I feel confident that the goals below are popular enough, so that they are doable within 4 years using intelligent, honest and inclusive leadership.

Top  5  Goals:

1- Unification of Macon-Bibb Government

2- Encourage Citizen Participation by improving TV and Internet communications systems and programs.

3-  Restore financial responsibility and independence to Bibb County Board of Education.  

4- Facilitate the Roads Improvement Program by promoting less controversial designs that are more efficient and neighborhood friendly.

5- Recreational Vision - A series of passive neighborhood parks, connected by walking/biking paths to the Riverwalk, connected to the Ocmulgee Monument boosted to National Park Status.

Vision And Action

We are more likely to succeed by bringing more citizens into the process,

expanding participation in democratic decision making,

and forging new, additional ways to communicate

using the Internet and Television.

I am asking  for your vote to serve as your Chair of the Bibb County Board of Commissioners.

If afforded the privilege of serving you, I will bring a level of integrity and innovation to our local government that I believe is essential, but sorely lacking in Bibb County.

My primary goals are Macon-Bibb-Unification, and Preservation and Enhancement of our best assets.  Better planning and responsive and efficient government will stretch our tax dollars.   Quality of life in Bibb County will be improved through preservation of our neighborhoods and improvement of our schools and parks.

Additionally, if elected, I pledge to serve my full term with a focused and effective activism equal to my past reputation.  

I believe the Chairmanship should remain a part-time job.  So,  I am grateful for my "real" job of serving  my dental patients, whom I will continue to serve for 3-4 days a week as I have for over 20 years.  

I would like to thank you for voting on July 20th.  Let's move our community forward together!

Thank-you again,

Lindsay 'Doc' Holliday

“Doc” Holliday believes:

Unification should involve County, City, School Board, Water Authority, Planning and Zoning, Transit System and Industrial Development Authorities.

Unified government must become more efficiently run and more responsive to residents.  

We need to enlarge our "Civic Capacity" - our tolerance for and appreciation of diversity, and the spiritual , physical and economic strength that it brings.   

- We must provide for sustainable and  responsible growth and a quality road system.

- We need to preserve our wonderful neighborhoods and our natural beauty.

- A balanced transportation system is a necessity, including quality public transportation and efficient roads.

- An Atlanta-Macon rail link will someday become critical for economic development, because I-75 will never again flow freely as it did in the past, and it will continue to worsen over time.  

- Sensible renewal and reinvigoration of Downtown Macon should be supported.

- We have to protect and improve the quality of our air and water.

We need to improve our Public Schools by promoting Neighborhood schools while maintaining the benefits of Integration and diversity.  

- Neighborhood schools have been one of Macon's strengths, and deserve to be preserved whenever possible.  

- Public School personnel should be supported in every possible manner.

- We need to support all of our historical and cultural treasures.

- Our historic homes, local Museums and National Monument deserve our active support.

- We should provide for and expand all types of recreation in Bibb County.  Emphasis here on passive recreation because it serves a wider audience for less money.  

- By these means our quality of life will be enhanced, while making Bibb County much more attractive to new businesses and residents, as well as longtime citizens.

Proven Leadership:

- Elected Editor, Central District, the Georgia Dental Association component of the American Dental Association

- Past President of Project Smile

- Member of Museum of Arts and Sciences, Board of Directors

- Member of Macon Kiwanis Club, Past Director

- President of the Ocmulgee National Monument Association

- President of Brown’s Mount Association
