All of that just goes to the whole “think before you type” motto!

Century town counsel should make national headlines as the biggest joke in the south. There ain’t one of you that can make a decision to save your life. And here is another fine example. Why don’t you use the $ to send a letter to all the residents asking what they want to see happen in the upcoming year and what you as a counsel can do for the community.
Or you can send yourselves a TRADITIONAL pig (coincidence) for your holiday. Or how about a pig and a raise because you’all deserve it.

Tina, After cutting the benefits of the council you would complain that they get a simple ham???? Talk about greedy! You are mad they didn’t come to your house. How is the town going pick and choose who they give to “out in the town”? That’s a lose/win situation. At least a needy family would get something, but 90% of the folks would be mad THEY didn’t get it. Everyone thinks they are more needy than the other.

Trish, Are you the only one that sounds like you have a brain! Bless your heart! I am glad that I moved away from the shallow thinking of the Century minds.

Me-me—I do not think this spending (under $1000) would have saved the schools, heck that would not even pay 1/2 a month for 1 single teacher. Please think before you type!

Peter– you are so right about the hams! They are welcomed for the hard working workers and for the council which seems to get NO SUPPORT from the towns people., and are looked upon as scum. It is sad!

I live in a town about the size of Brewton in another state. We have a council that makes $1000 a month (whereas you only pay your poor council members a mere $200 or a little over, don’t forget NO INSURANCE) and you treat them like they do nothing and that they are scum of the earth. I feel sorry for the hard working council, I have served one term in our town, BUT stepped down because I was tired of being under the microscope every time I blowed my nose. And here at least we APPRECIATE the council, even when they make decisions that we may not fully agree with. All these complainers here are always out for blood–no matter which decision is made. This poor council (past, present and I am sure future) seems to be doomed to only lose/lose decisions. Is it because so many do not know what goes on in city government? How many have attended more than one meeting? I called my local paper here in town and to run an ad during the holidays (half page) was $850. And yes, Our water, electric, and gas was running and ad. 1/2 pages except our water which ran a full page. I asked our newspaper how they could justify the cost and was told “They have an advertising budget and the money has to be spent by the new year”

You wonder why it is the ones that have money that serve as doormats (I mean city council reps)….Because those that need a job for money would not work this high stress-no pay job! Quit acting like teen age kids bickering and learn more how towns are run!
