Betterton Wants New City Seal

 

Breaking news:

When the City of Florence attempted to brand the town with an advertising logo, many misunderstood its purpose. A logo isn't a seal, and Florence still doesn't have a logo (whew!). Anyone out there lying awake at night worrying over it?

Pictured above is the city seal, which many in Florence government assured the public wouldn't be changed. Now Mayor Andy Betterton is seeking to upgrade/change the seal.

We've been unable to ascertain if Tatum Design (the culprit in the logo boondoggle) is the designer, but we believe it is. Here's the new seal which Betterton has been using. 

How do we feel? We like the newer version better, but... 

Citizens are not being given a chance to have any input. Plus, and this is a big plus, how much money is going to be spent in implementing this new seal?

It's scheduled to hit the fan on Monday, due to last Tuesday's meeting being cancelled for July 4th. No warning, no vote!

Here's a dog looking for a new home. No, he thankfully isn't at the shelter to scare the other animals. We'll have more info tomorrow.
