Pick of the day: Farewell to a finance officer


The city of Henderson holds its second official farewell ceremony of the month this afternoon in honor of Finance Director Traig Neal. The open house in the council chambers at the Municipal Building is scheduled to run from 3 to 4:30 p.m. — strangely, a half-hour less than the city scheduled to say goodbye to Planning Director Grace Smith last week. Neal’s last day on the job is next Wednesday, and he has to survive at least one more Finance and Intergovernmental Relations Committee meeting Thursday night before moving on to the Oxford accounting firm of Winston Williams and Creech.
