Funding? We had asked for a tree to be cut, it is in a power line to our house, this was about 3 years ago? Finally I believe it was last year they came out and red flagged the tree for cutting, never saw them again. The marsh was going to have a crew come out and clean out the other end to drain it better, it is mosquito haven, no one ever came out. So is there not funding for the community needing help? I am curious, been here almost 4 years myself, so needing answers or where do I turn to? Who in the community is taking care of our issues while money is being spent and/or missing? If we need the law for problems, where are they? Wow, after reading this, well we wondered why we could not get anything done? Funding?

Keep a few admin people to help with paperwork and the county should take over. These country bumpkins do not have the first clue on how to operate a town budget. Good grief people. Can you really be this naïve? Remove every one of these people from the offices they hold. Keep a few admin people to help with paperwork and the county should take over.

That's a lie they like to tell. Juries acquit people all the time for being too stupid to know what they were doing was wrong. It doesn't usually apply at government levels, but Century is exceptional, so who knows? David for pity REGARDING:

Now look...the man has NO IDEA how to run this town! He doesn't listen to the town citizens, all he cares about is himself. I say we get him out of town hall and put somebody in that KNOWS what they're doing and can try to fix all this mess he's created. And the council...the council needs to be relieved of their duties and a whole new council chosen. NOBODY ON THE BOARD really cares about the town. But as a citizen of century, I think I speak for us all when I say, WE DESERVE ANSWERS. More than just this post on northescambia. We need answers so we can know and understand where the town of century is headed...what's in store for the future of OUR town? You know…the majority of the town voted for Henry Hawkins.

Who makes the decision and who sells the utilities to who? Will the state send in a transition team. They have to keep the water running in and sewer out and trash picked up. The residents need to know what is happening there are no people qualified to take over. The incorporation needs to disappear. The ones there are incapable of even doing what the grand jury recommended. Don't drag this out. Contact the governor. This has been apparent and allowed to go on too long. So what next?
