City Debates Filling Vacant Jobs

There's been some controversy around the council horseshoe over whether to fill 3 positions in the finance department at city hall that have been left vacant by retirements.

Common Councillor Bill Farren says there's no way city hall can think about filling those positions given the city's dire financial situation.

Commissioner of finance Greg Yeomans, on the other hand, says he's already working with a skeleton crew and the jobs are vital tothe continued smooth operation of the city.
