Steve Stanley Puts Sheffield on a Budget

 

Sheffield mayor Steve Stanley has, rather belatedly, attempted to cut back on expenses for the City on the Bluff (or is it the Center of the Shoals?). There may have been a financial reason for his seeking to redo contracts with the city judge, attorney, and prosecutor.

While no new contract has as yet been negotiated with the municipal judge, agreements have been reached with the City attorney and prosecutor. We understand that these contracts which begin January 1st are much less lucrative than previous agreements. 

As for the five or six lawsuits against the City, we can't help but speculate if Ben Gardner Jr. will require additional assistance in his defense of the town and its police department. Perhaps Mayor Stanley can initiate a GoFundMe page?
