I'm so sick of these imposter wannabe politicians screwing with people lives especially council members who are not worthy to be voted or given these positions. IMPEACH EVERY SINGLE ONE IF THEM. And please it's not hard to figure who I am so do not reply if your cowardly hiding behind a spiffy computer name.

This place is filled with people that dont want anything, sit around all day watching tv, and crackheads. Yet the people are always quick to jump on the employees mistakes. As for the admin not being able to bring in new jobs (chris) century doesnt have anything for jobs to come for, Century is a place for people to come and spend their final days in peace and quiet. Get off your butts and make a difference besides complaining about it.

Going to?!? I think your there!! How can someone that’s served on the council for so long plead ignorance? I didn’t know, nobody told me. It’s their fault. It’s slways someone else’s fault and someone else’s responsibility. Time to clean house. “or we are going to…result in that future financial emergency that the auditors warned us about,” Brooks said.

These problems didn't just happen with the new administration. This has been an on going problem. The gas dept didn't just start losing money, it's been that way for a while. The council needs to stop playing team sports(shirts vs skins) and work together as one united team. I agree with clueless Bob. These problems didn’t just happen with the new administration.

Does no one else see anything fishy about the timing of all of the sudden issues being raised and coming from the same person. Really Why now? I believe these so called “new” issues are not new at all. They already existed but no one dare wanted to attach them to the former mayors. Well, why would they when they were getting loans, offices built and other free stuff? But with audits showing some flaws, the newcomers get the brunt of what others caused and become the face of the problem. Not fair and it will take real leadership and s team effort to get things back on track. It won’t happen with someone playing politics. Someone else said it in another post and I see a power struggle also and it has to be tension in the room. It would be great if they all got smarter, dropped the tactics and got down to the real business but they would have to stop the nit picky diversions first. Something tells me this will all go in the background again after the upcoming elections are over. I agree with @fred and also say, why now?
