But for some students, they have to sacrifice the summer and the fun that comes with it if they want money. Many students are forced to work summer jobs instead of enjoying the summer in order to earn money.

The Williamston City Council has approved the hiring of a full-time Department of Public Works employee. Approval was needed because the new employee will start before the old employee retires. Retiring employee JK, Richardson “was the most experienced. He led when going out to plow roads” said Scott De Vries, DPW director. Richardson has worked with the city for more than 20 years.
