So is this what all the talk has been about “opening a charter school in Century?” Boy have I been mislead along with many other people in Century. I am now really beginning to wonder what is going on. We need to savig our own town not someone elses. Good Grief CTC.

Underwrite a charter school in Miami, highrise apartments, put money in a drainage ditch, and the people in the Backwoods can’t get decent drinking water!! It seem like someone is suffering a anal cranium inversion. Does anyone ever do any research on their own before signing on to these projects, or do they just go along?

Looks like our ruling class is at it again.

What intelligent people we have in government.

Is anyone tired of this crap, yet?

Who will the apartment complex house? How long before it is run down and considered unlivable and condemned?
Who thinks of this stuff?
Ridiculous. I would expect nothing less from the “government”.

so the government has set up a tax and loan structure which makes it worth people’s while to borrow under the umbrella of towns.

I imagine the legislation was written with some other purpose in mind and people figured out how to bypass either a regulation or an expense through creative accounting.

I noticed Congress gave tax credits to business using renewal energy sources with the intent to help folks in Alaska who burned fish oil as a power source and then the paper industry realized they had been doing it for decades using black liquor from the lignin cooked out of wood in the paper making process.

Then Congress tried to undo that loop-hole (which was only supposed to benefit the fishing industry) by an amendment to the health care bill.

It takes special people to function in Congress.

These are Section 8 based projects…..limited income with unlimited expenses. Did anyone Google the name T M Alexander or Capital Trust? I did.
Miami has lots of South American investors with lots of money…why come to the Panhandle? If Century needs to spend our money, I could use a little!

I think century should worry about fixing up century prior to spend, working, whatever you call it on another community. sure schools and appartments are great, if they are in century! And they will benifit the people of century. I would agree someone in the process is making big money on this because it sure is not the town of century.

That seem to very little return on that amount of financing…I am sure somebody is making a lot more than the Town of Century on these deals…
