Deputy Mayor Shelley Rinehart isn’t against stopping to smell the flowers–this after she got a little heat from local florists for suggesting the city make memorial donations instead.
Rinehart says she’s definitely not anti-flowers–rather, she just doesn’t want to see city staff waste time on unnecessary frills when a donation can be done instantly.
Rinehart points out not only are donations more lasting than flowers, but they can also be managed in an instant.
