Florence Electric Department vote of no confidence

Last week, we reported on the Florence Electric Departments' vote of no confidence. We feel this was poorly planned. We contacted several people on the list of signatures. None would speak. We even promised anonymity. This, we felt was very surprising. This proved one of two things. Either Richard Morrisey is so tyrannical and intimidating that all feared retaliation or most felt they had made some mistake. It was quite weird to be honest with you.

It is public knowledge there is an on-going sexual harassment lawsuit against FED. It is evident there are problems at FED that need to be addressed. But, until someone files a grievance, they gave the appearance, at least to the Times Daily of "disgruntled employees", to use their words. It is difficult to write this whole thing off as a few angry workers when around fifty people signed this document. Surely they were not all driving city cars.
