It all goes back to the "one county/one city" idea that has been floating around. If Century loses all government offices - thereby making it harder on the citizens - we will gladly accept the NCO (New County Order). Then they can REALLY stiff us! But they want us to think we will get more that way. DON'T GIVE IN NORTH ESCAMBIA! Another chokehold placed on North Escambia.

With the closure of the Century office will the employees at the Molino office be working all hours opened? Or will they also have to take a day off with out pay due to sequestration?

Are you all starting to get it yet? When you start cutting spending (like with the sequester we've all heard about) it isn't just "those people" that are affected. It's everyone. Just like when the Farm Bureau up in the north end of the country closed and now folks have to drive to Molino for those services. Keep believing that "the government is the problem" and trying to kill it rather than trying to make it better, and things like this will continue to happen. Don't say you weren't warned.

I do not live in Century, but I do understand how this narrow-minded decision is detrimental to the folks who need WIC the most -Children! The least the county could do is have a mobile services agent report to Century once a week for enrollments. Then maybe at least one person other than a client would appreciate the drive time and distance.

Why is this happening?! Please reconsider, maybe the Molino office could open up 1 day in Century. A lot of these people do not have their own transportation.

Plus add on 4 cents a gallon for gasoline to get to Molino if you have a car. I think the Health Dept. forgets its a COUNTY service paid for by our tax dollars. Leave it to Lanza to omit the North End of the County for services. He is like the rest of the politicians and believe me he is a politician. Nikki is right.
