West Frankfort council rejects full hiring control
West Frankfort City Council members show little support for790 bringing all hiring to the body. John Simmons accuses Street Commissioner Culley of hiring seven workers without council knowledge after Teamsters wage talks. The measure to keep the water department office open during noon hour also fails. The council approves a firefighters contract with a 7 percent raise and changes to sick leave and future wage reopening.
