Title: Time For Council to Relax Open Container Laws Downtown
Abstract: Macon, GA — The Macon City Council’s Public Safety Committee has decided to allow open containers downtown during next month’s Bragg Jam, according to Charles Richardson on the Macon Telegraph’s editorial page. He claims this decision "opens the door" to a more vibrant, liberal downtown district. Organizers of the Bragg Jam sought permission to allow people to carry alcoholic beverages as long as they used a designated cup and wear a wristband. Richardson sees the move as an opportunity to reengage regional debates over permanent open-container laws.
