Brown, Reichert spar over jobs record, TV ad

State Sen. Robert Brown and Macon Mayor Robert Reichert held dueling news conferences Thursday, with Brown charging that Reichert seeks to “bamboozle” voters with an inaccurate campaign commercial, and Reichert refuting Brown’s claims from the site where the commercial was filmed.

Both men seek the Democratic nomination for mayor in the July 19 primary, along with former Mayor Jack Ellis and firefighter Paul Bronson.

Brown, the state Senate minority leader, called a news conference Thursday morning at his campaign headquarters on New Street. He said that four years ago, Reichert promised a “new way,” bringing “high-quality, high-paying jobs” to Macon. But Reichert hasn’t delivered on that and is now running “deceptive campaign ads on television,” Brown said.

Reichert has run two televised campaign ads, one focusing on housing, the other on jobs.

The job-related ad shows him standing in front of an industrial building under construction.

“For the last four years, one of my priorities has been to bring high-quality, high-paying jobs to Macon. That means bringing employers, like this one,” Reichert says in the ad, gesturing to the work site behind him.

According to the Georgia Department of Labor, Macon’s unemployment rate was 7.2 percent when Reichert took office, but had climbed to 12.4 percent by March 2011, Brown said.

“His new way has turned out to be the old way, and that’s the wrong way,” he said.

Brown handed out an “Unemployed Macon Workers Plea” on his campaign letterhead. “Please help me see one of the high quality, high paying jobs Mayor Reichert brought to Macon for me,” it said.

Further, Brown said he’s been unable to find the building in front of which Reichert posed in the commercial and couldn’t identify it through the city’s Inspections and Fees Department. If it’s not within city limits, Reichert hasn’t brought jobs to Macon, Brown said, even suggesting the video may have been “Photoshopped.”

Four hours later, Reichert replied, standing in front of the building in question: the under-construction expansion of First Quality Enterprises, on Avondale Mill Road just across from the Middle Georgia Regional Airport.

The building is not within Macon city limits, but most industrial parks aren’t -- and that’s not relevant to employees’ addresses anyway, Reichert said.
