Comments on: Century Corrects Housing Grant Estimates To Upgrade, Rebuild Homes http://www.northescambia.com/2011/09/750000-going-to-upgrade-or-rebuild-private-homes-in-century Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:38:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: 429SCJ http://www.northescambia.com/2011/09/750000-going-to-upgrade-or-rebuild-private-homes-in-century/comment-page-1#comment-101137 429SCJ Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:06:14 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=67915#comment-101137 With all these negative comments about this federal grant, perhaps Mayor McCall should just send the money back to Washington, and refuse future funds as well. I knew the citizens of Century were proud but I had no idea how deep that pride went. Im sure there is someplace in the world, that can accept these monies, without becoming offended by charity. PRIDE, I alway though the devil was a tough old bird for refusing the Grace of God. I always thought him a fool as well.

Somebody, somewhere is paying the bills. Why should anyone work and save their money for home repairs when you can sit down, do nothing and get your home fixed for nothing. The government is broke---yet we are giving folks 28 thousand dollars to "repair" a trailer. This is absolutely disgusting. Sorry ---but I was raised in a small house that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. We heated with wood my daddy chopped with an axe after plowing a mule all day. Thank God! It gave me drive and ambition which our country is fast losing. There is no such thing as “free money” . Somebody, somewhere is paying the bills.

The people that recieved these grants, were identified by someone, as needing help. There is no shame in asking for help. You sound just like so very many of us, who are being overrun by inflation. Your efforts are 105%, but it is still not enough. I do not know you, but I recomend shouting out. Let us not be angry when we see those who need help recieve it. If we ourselves need help, let us pray to the Lord that we have a turn as well. Some of these estimates may need to be reviewed again. Thats my opinion.

I did a search and there are so many grants that mayors can get to revitalize their towns. However, Bondurant won't do it becuase he pose a risk of attracting industries to the town. He doesn't need any competition for his lumber business. He works the people hard and pay them peanuts, then he's prejudice on top of that, take inventory of who he lays off during layoff time after the same employees have worked for him for twenty or so years. Therefore, anyone would leave that rat hole for a better job opportunity. That's why he does nothing for Flomaton. Great job Century for helping your residents!!!!!! I agree with Flomaton Resident.
