I don't see a thing that Mayor McCall did that made Century any better. If we are to rise up and be better we have to pull together and support each other. I think Mr. Hawkins wants Century to be better, but he will soon find out he can't do anything if the people fight against him. To the Jay person that commented we were fools to vote him in, well I voted for him and I certainly am not a fool. I know everything he does is not going to be what we want but when did we ever have a mayor that was perfect? All you residents of Century that come on here with your negative comments need to go to the council meetings and have a chance to voice your opinions.

They did not sign a “multi million dollar note for UWF”. To my knowledge they have a few hundred thousand in revenue bonds for a gas replacement project.

Not a free ride, just a helping hand! I would think that is a good place to start in meeting your town's people's concerns, as something is much better than nothing!

Everyone wants to make a big splash!!! Make it in FAVOR of the people. Our community is elderly and POOR. Perhaps the new mayor needs to be in touch with those who voted him into office. Somehow, most of us think we are smarter than anyone else. Get real.....check the facts of those who actually live here.....!!!
