FLORENCE COUNTY COUNCIL TO SPEND $72,630 TO ROOF A LOCAL CHURCH
Ladies and Gentlemen and Members of the Florence County Citizens in Action:
On April 3rd, 2008 at the regularly scheduled Florence County Council meeting, the council members voted unanimously to spend $72,630 dollars of the taxpayers’ money for an expenditure that was not on the agenda. With little discussion or explanation, Mitchell Kirby proposed that each councilman join him with monies from their separate discretionary Infrastructures Funds to finance a new roof for the Boys and Girls Club located in Timmonsville.
