David Cousino (R), canididate for mayor...
"The average voter may look at Cousino's plans for the city and conclude one of three things: He's unconventional, but brilliant; he's a little wacky; or he's hopelessly quixotic.
Cousino's grand plan for Macon involves working with the Muscogee Creek Nation to return land in the city and Bibb County that previously belonged to the tribe when white settlers moved here nearly 200 years ago.
"Everything that was traditionally their property - they want what's rightfully theirs," said Cousino, who said he has no Creek ancestry in his family. "They have so many qualities they would bring to this area. They have open boundaries. It would bring togetherness. People would want to see what's going on with Indian culture in this area. It would be phenomenal."
Cousino wants to dissolve the city charter so his strategy can work."
