Now Mr. Hawkins has a slim to no chance of getting elected again. If there was an issue or problem he should have stuck to his guns and not given up so easily. He obviously knew he didn't have an argument to begin with. Agree with Joe Wright. Now Mr. Hawkins has a slim to no chance of getting elected again.

Has he brung in any new jobs? Did he fight to keep the school open? Most mayors in these small towns cater to protect special interest more so than economic growth. Being Mayor is not just another notch in your belt, it's about bringing about change for the greater good of everyone. Mr. Hawkins seems to get it because he wants some things to change. Just because you speak out against injustice and wrong doing you are labeled a troublemaker but that is not true. What kind of man will allow wrondoing to go own and not say anything a coward. Century made a big mistake on this one and they will began to realize it in the near future when no jobs are being created. Most of the people in Century are on some form of Government assistance black and white so they need jobs or new industries. We tend to see things in black and white and this criples us as a people. It's not about skin color it's about getting the right person for the job and Mr. Hawkins was that person. I think the biggest question is “What has Freddie McCall done for the town of Century?

He has decided to accept the loss graciously and move on with his life. Sometimes we all get so caught up in finding a reason for something, that we lose sight of what has actually happened. If I'm wrong about this, so be it. For now though, I'm accepting it and moving on..... Instead of judging him (which none of us are qualified to do anyway), why not accept this at face value?

Hawkins felt there was wrong doing he should have followed through with the complaint. If there really is a problem it needs to be fixed and corrected. The process only works if we all do our parts. If I lived in century I would be asking questions..... If mr. Hawkins felt there was wrong doing he should have followed through with the complaint.
