You may be aware that many city, county, and state employees are sharing in the federal pandemic relief money. The problem is that not all government entities are recognizing employees who worked to keep offices functioning during the darkest days of what could certainly be called a plague.
Here's two accounts from readers:
What makes this interesting is that one of the commissioners for Lauderdale County also serves as a Florence police officer who received the $4000.00 bonus. What is upsetting is that surrounding municipalities like Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia were able to give employees money bonuses through the relief and rescue plan.
This has more to do with principle versus money. I would just like answers as to the decisions that were made and why. This could be something where they are voting and haven't come up with an amount yet as well. I just think there needs to be some clarity on the whole issue.
We agree totally. We're sure many would also like to know why the Florence-Lauderdale Animal Services has to beg repeatedly to get the money that is OWED them by the commission. Any thoughts or inside info?
