Monroe Gray has retired.

It seems that the word is that Gray has retired from the fire department before the new Mayor had a chance to do away with his position. This may have been a good move on Monroe’s part because it would just be another embarrassment for him not to mention the embarrassment to the city and former administration. I understand his position will not be filled. A $80,000 savings to the taxpayers. It seems that a ten percent cut in the budget will not be that hard to do with cuts as of this nature.
