IAFF Local 347 president Jim Ferguson and officers stress no walkout was ever considered and any action remains an internal city matter to be resolved between firefighters, Chief Poe, and City Manager Burton.

Decision on library money due from Mercer County
Mercer County Commission plans a forthcoming decision within two weeks on how county funds will be allocated to local libraries. The dispute centers on fairness to Princeton Library versus Craft Memorial Library in Bluefield, with no fixed formula and ongoing questions from Friends of the Princeton Public Library. The panel also approved jail lodging rate changes, sewer pipe cost reimbursements, and several local appointments and financial deposits.
