By Colin Crews

Joyce Franklin, the Executive Director of the Greater Irondale Chamber of Commerce has resigned her position effective September 30th.  In an email sent to Chamber of Commerce and city officials, Franklin said that her resignation was due to a change in “hours and pay” and that at the present time “the Chamber has never been in better financial shape since I assumed this position.”

The email further stated that Franklin feels that “the authority of the director’s position is slowly but surely taken from me.”

Chamber member and Irondale City Councilman, Christopher Crews, said that he is “surprised and saddened” by the news. “I haven’t spoken to Ms. Franklin yet but she has done an outstanding job holding the Chamber together during very hard economic times,” Crews said.

Franklin has served as the Irondale Chamber of Commerce Executive Director since 2008.

Editor's Note: Councilman Christopher Crews is the brother of IrondaleToday's

A proposed ordinance to ban the the use of cell phones while driving in Irondale will be shelved at tomorrow’s city council meeting. The would-be ordinance would have banned texting and all but hands-free devices while driving in the Irondale city limits. Other area municipalities have recently passed similar ordinances but opposition to the proposal in Irondale was particularly voracious causing the issue to be put aside indefinitely.

The Alabama state legislature is currently looking into passing a ban on texting and non-hands free cell phone usage while driving statewide.
