Unless I misunderstood, economic development was part of the justification of the water grant--businesses were less likely to locate in an area with inadequate water for fire suppression or not enough water for industrial needs.

I was intoduced to drugs and partying at a very young age. as young as 14 to be exact. Its amazing to me that there is so much underage drug use and drinking in the northwest escambia area and nobody say maybe we should look into thing we can spend money on for our youth. maybe if the town spent money on park inprovments a nd summer programs, maybe even a pool. there would be less drug use and drinking, crime, vandalism, etc. Just Saying I am 26 and grew up in century.

Now take next years budget $3.337 million and take away last year's and just like magic – you find that there is a $575,000 INCREASE! This is an unfathomable increase of 20.8% over last year and not one dime is going to be spent on economic development! You've got to love the way that the town circumvents public disclosure of expenditures as they are nicely tucked away under some non-assuming line item title in the document. How about some specifics under these broad titles so that the public can be informed on just exactly where the money is going.
