This is wrong for her not to pay, she was told that she would be charged. The county health dept should not have come into any city that has rules on the books and try to over ride them. Maybe the county should pay the bill since they are as much at fault as Ms. Robinson. I do not understand why in the world Ms. Brooks was calling on the town lawyer on the same issues he already discussed with the mayor. Maybe there should be a check and balance on calling the lawyer. If you call and talk to him, you have to let the other know before the call and give a description after the call of what was discussed. That would cut down on the repeat calling and double billing…. And why are WE paying for the TV crews interview?? If they wanted to talk to the lawyer, they should have called on their own dime, or be sent a bill. JMO

Stupid actions like this is exactly why Century and it’ssurrounding communities appear tobe right for the picking. Come on public officials, can’t any of you see why downtown can make such a heart wrenching case that “we need them.” Quit trying to make friends or throw your weight around, and think before you act, quit making these uninformed decisions that make our area look like the “Beverly Hillbillies.” Lead by example, even when the results may not be the most popular or politically correct. You might be surprised at how much public respect and backing you could enjoy if only you would listen to what the people who put you in the position are saying. Didn’t anyone’s parents ever teach them to look five seconds into the future of what the ramifications of their actions would be???? I guess that was the day after you missed the using a calculator class.

Very typical County/ City Administration.”NO” thought went into finding out what it would cost to investigate the issue. Then later their are remind how stupid it was in the first place. Reminds me of the Escambia County School Disrtict…by the way has anyone checked to see if the Preacher at the Old Century High paid any of that $75k he received in free Taxpayer Dollars?????? Bet not. As Ronnie said. It just slipped though the cracks…I bet you if anyother employee lost or mis-used anything costing $75K or $300.00 dollars, it would have cost them their JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! without question, Don’t do as I do….Do as I say.

That’s as dumb as your credit card company spending .42 cents to mail you a .50 bill. Why was Annie Brooks calling the laywer if they mayor had already done that? And why the heck did they not make WKRG pay?

Looks to me the council should make the person (town clerk) that denied services to Mrs. Robinson pay the $478 bill…..
