Selma Mayor James Perkins, Jr. steps into a controversy at a historic cemetery to try an diffuse the situation.
“At the center of this matter is volunteerism,” he said.
Perkins used the press conference Wednesday afternoon to clarify the city’s position concerning volunteerism at Old Live Oak Cemetery and volunteering in general.
“Are citizens allowed to volunteer service on public property? The answer is absolutely yes.”
Perkins called the presser in response to a growing controversy that arose from a confrontation between the city cemetery director and a crew from Snow’s Cleaning Service who were stopped from cutting grass at the cemetery.
