Martha Murphy is retiring from her role as administrator for the City of Florence. Will she also now retire as administrator of the city's Tree Commission?

Mrs. Murphy is responsible for ordering the above items for Memorial Grove Park on East Mobile Street (former location of Ft. Willingham). It will be interesting to see what now happens. As far as we know, neither Jackie Hendrix nor his wife has stepped down from the commission since Hendrix assumed his duties with the city council. 

Florence should change its name to the Nepotism City.

According to a recent public safety commission meeting, Florence's newest fire station will not be built for less than $725,000.00 more than the original estimate. Ouch!
