Former State Representative Dies

Funeral services are being held in Macon for former State Representative, Wayne Elliott. The Florida native and Republican served two terms in the Legislature from 1990-1994. According to the Telegraph Elliott created controversy after he introduced a bill designed to protect medical waste incinerators, which another lawmaker was trying to ban. A business Elliott owned produced medical waste incinerators. The ban passed, but Elliott was able to receive an exemption for the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon. He is survived by a wife and daughter.
