Re: Bottom Feeders 2017-18
Under condition of anonymity, the following information was gleaned from an inquiry to the office of Elba mayor Mickey Murdock.
The reported attendance of 2 for the BFB South Regional was reported erroneously. The official now reveals that the two people in question were in fact the ones from the disabled vehicle outside the rink, but they did not pay any admission fee to the event or for that matter venture into the facility.
The timeline now reveals the following information:
As the UAA-RIT game was starting, the two people in question approached the rink to ask how to contact the roadside service vehicle. After pointing out the pay phone in the rink had been disabled (a call to telecom provider BellSouth confirmed this), the couple were directed to the Family Dollar store just around the corner from the rink off Claxton Avenue. In gratitude for the recommendation, the couple left some money as a thank you tip for the attendant. Realizing he could not pocket the gift without claiming it as income on his tax return, the attendant concocted the story that it had paid for two tickets to the event, absolving him of the income but forcing the rink to report it to City Hall as part of their hosting agreement. The money was delivered to the city clerk's office, which has been vacant since the resignation of Jack Mullinax in 2017. Since the city council has yet to accept his resignation, the post has yet to be officially filled. The money in question still sits in a tattered manila envelope on a desk inside.
