Letter To The Editor

City workers:
Dear Editor,

To Mayor Andre’ DeBerry:

I am so disappointed in you concerning the city employees. We the people of Holly Springs are in the 7,000 or more population; that is many more than the five on the board.

I see our city workers doing their job for the people and doing a fine job, and it hurts me for you to say they work at the will and the pleasure of the board as if the people of Holly Springs do not matter.

What you do in the board meeting is your business.

But let’s give honor to our city workers doing their job to take care of the people of Holly Springs and not just the five on the board.

Mary Britnell
