>>>i’ve noticed the ledger doesn’t cover nhs much, then i’ve also noticed esc.com doesn’t cover flomaton high. the last time i posted about that, my post was removed. hmmm?

There is a another post below from your email address that was approved four days ago about “I’m against it…..just trying to buy votes with tax payer money”.

The Tri-City Ledger is Flomaton, Century and Jay, obviously including Northview since they sold the ad.

NorthEscambia.com coverage area is just that — North Escambia in northern Escambia County, Florida — Cantonment north to the Alabama line. We certainly appreciate and love our readers in Flomaton, and we do cover some Flomaton stories. As far as football goes, we run a Flomaton score and summary after every game and sometimes photos. But they are not in our primary coverage area. (We still love the ‘Canes, just to be clear.)

We like to think we cover our coverage area well, and we appreciate each one of the millions of page views we get each week.

(And we are always open to anyone submitting stories and photos, just FYI, from our neighboring areas.)

Yes the Tri City Ledger don’t publish much about NHS but I appreciate the thought of the council recognizing our children and school. People need to look at the positive and not the negative and be thankful for the gesture. I also would like to thank William for his support of or area and schools. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!

I’d venture to say that this Website has a greater readership that the Tri-City Blunder, opps, I mean Ledger. For that matter, I think I’ll go out and see if I can find a copy of the “paper” to see if it even publishes its circulation numbers, which I would guess to be in the low thousands weekly like maybe 1,000 or 2,000 copies. Besides, the local mullet wrapper doesn’t even cover the tip of the iceberg of events that take place at the Northview. So the advertisement money would have better been spent at NorthEscambia.com, which by the way covers every event at NHS and the information current and not stale from a week of dust accumulation! But then again, William isn’t in Century’s Good ‘Ol Boy network like Joe Thomas and company.

Glad I don’t live in Century!! Seems like the money would’ve been better spent, giving all the Northview sports, say $50 and forgetting the one time full page ad in the Tri-City Ledger. All I can say to the Century residents is to remember this irresponsible move at the next election.

Council member Ann Brooks wrote “The purpose of this ad is two fold – it advertises the Town’s natural gas and recognizes the NHS football team.”

Recognizes the football team? What about the track team? The basketball team? The math team? The ROTC? The band? The cheerleaders? The list goes on and on. Will Century “recognize” them with $450 to Joe Thomas at the weekly newspaper?

Looks to me like it’s time to run for office and $450 keeps the weekly newspaper happy with you.

While I’m struggling to pay my gas bill, I remember the $450 you overcharged the citizens of Century to buy your ad in a newspaper that no one reads anymore. Thanks for wasting my money.
