"Nobody's Butt Is Worth $1,200.00"

 

If you're out of the loop, raw sewage has been running down North Wood Avenue at Seven-Points. Yes, as you wait in line for your order at Mickey D's, you're treated to a stench straight from Mumbai on an August afternoon. 

The problem is the broken line is private. The latest take is that it's a line used by several businesses - not the City. The projected cost of digging up the street (and that's not including fixing the pipe) is 48K. 

There's been a back and forth between the City, a few businesses, Rep. Bill Griffin, and Rep. Kaytrina Simmons on just what needs to be done. Meanwhile, used toilet paper is creating its own version of snow on the asphalt in March.

Now you may think this is the story, but as they say: Wait, there's more! One local store owner wants to know why Florence says it can't invest the 48K, an amount reportedly not in its budget. This same woman has found something odd that is in the City's budget.

Yes, the City of Florence has purchased one office chair for $1,200.00. She doesn't care who got it, she say's no one's butt is worth that much. We agree.

We didn't pay half that much for our recliner that doubles as an office. Someone, in fact several individuals, needs to ask about this during the next council meeting. Because if it's Andy's ample glutes that are enshrined in the chair, he needs to just head on home right then.
