Florence Councilwoman Michelle Eubanks has recently faced a great deal of criticism from the public concerning the F!rence fiasco. At least some of the critics are greatly confused about Mrs. Eubanks.
We've seen many call the District 4 councilwoman an editor for the TimesDaily. While she did write at one time for our daily rag, she was never an editor, has never worked for the current editor, and has for some years worked as a publicist for the University of North Alabama.
If concerned citizens want to play the blame game, we suggest they start with Melinda Morgan, Handy Dandy Andy's executive assistant. She seems to be the one to hold at least some of the keys to this debacle. Here's a bon mot for those who aren't aware: Melinda's mother-in-law Sandra Morgan held this position until about two years ago. Small world, isn't it?
Have you noticed how quiet Rob Carnegie has been through this whole new logo business? We thought rebranding was his specialty. Perhaps he's having to stump for renewed tourism in person. Now that would seal the city's fate.
Perhaps Rob has been in Canada. I hear they have an 'image' problem.
ReplyDeleteBeing a "reporter" at the Times Daily when it really WAS a local newspaper (if although owned at that time by the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group) is the least of "Let them eat cake" Michele Eubanks sins. At the time she "wrote" for the paper, she mainly covered "human interest" stories that were never really interesting and had a specialty of sitting at her desk and manicuring her nails while waiting on someone to phone her in a byline. She didn't get the spotlight she thought she deserved so she moved on to milk UNA for a paycheck as so many others from the newspaper have done. Going to work at UNA was a great tutorial for playing the shell game with public funds and it appears she was a quick study. She excelled and was ready to put her talent for ripping off the taxpayers to work when she ran for the city council. It has been shown she can grift with the best of them. If nothing else; this logo fiasco is paying off in spades in one way by making the public aware of the scammers and liars they have elected to run the city of Florence. Hopefully, these lessons will not be forgotten during the next citywide election. "Vote em all out" is fine but let's make sure we don't vote more of the same "kind" back in. Character and honesty matters in city government! Let's hopefully have a mayor and council we can trust and be proud of at the "new" 40 million dollar city hall someday!
ReplyDeleteHell has indeed frozen over. Once again, I find myself in agreement with 'theavenger'.
