The town of Florence has released a statment on the move earlier this week that the council took in firing Russ Martin as town manager.
The firing, by a 6-1 vote, came just after Martin has been on the job for six months.
“The decision to dismiss the Town Manager was not made lightly, but after careful consideration, myself and a majority of Town Council believe it is in the best interest of our community to move in a new direction with a fresh perspective and leadership," Mayor Tara Walter said in a statment following the meeting.
