Words of advice to the Town of Century “Don’t let one individual deceive so many people.” “True colors are hard to see when you are blinded by someone’s outward persona.” And lastly, the recent hiring of this individual just added more “fuel to the fire” of how you were perceived by some of the public to begin with. I’m sure you are beginning to realize that by now. I can assure you this letter is just the beginning of the unknown. So good luck to everyone! Hoping for a brighter future for the Town of Century in moving forward!

At next meeting should have ALL the records spread on the table out in the Sunshine Looking at the BILLING–all of them– or they all deserve to be investigated.

This needs to be turned in to the auditor.

Full report.

Obviously you do not know Miss Amerson very well. I worked with her for many years. She is kind hearted, generous, silly and 100% herself no matter who she is around. More importantly she’s intelligent and very strong-willed.
I was told by a TOC employee that Miss Amerson had several attorneys call her at City Hall on day the story was printed in North Escambia.com. I can assure you that her attorney was already all over this before she ever read the article.
My opinion they did Ms. Amerson very wrong. She deserves an apology from both the mayor and Godwin. They should apologize publicly at the next Town council meeting. JS

Bully:Someone who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those perceived as vulnerable.

Hawkins is a bully. He believes those around him are weak and/or not intelligent enough to stand up to him. We need to rally together and remind him that this is not just HIS town. It’s OUR town!

I still can’t believe this man got elected. It really concerns me that a man who was so adamantly against anything good for the town during his tenure on the council got placed in this role. Let me just say this, a good leader doesn’t have to tell anyone that he/she is a leader. His/her actions show it. All I hear from Hawkins is how he is the “leader” and “head of the town”. He may have the monogrammed shirt, but that’s about all he has. He is NOT a leader at all. He wants to be a dictator and you know what all dictators are??? BULLIES!

People talking about Hawkins saying ” he can’t do that” in regards to denying records requests. He certainly can. Just like any government official from cop to judge. They can do whatever they “want” to do. It’s up to you to correct it. Unfortunately, in most cases, they do it to the ones who either don’t know any better, aren’t informed enough to complain, or don’t have the financial resources to fight. It’s sad. I wish we had a reset button for the entire world.

Godwin has told me and others that her not signing the document was not an oversight. Neither she nor Ms. Amerson agreed with what the Mayor was forcing them to do! Therefore , it’s not notarized by law , so it isn’t binding. Maybe they were just trying to keep their jobs. Hawkins will have his day of judgment. Hopefully very soon .

@teebug……I never met nor do I personally know Charles Manson either. A persons actions speak volumes about who they are.

Stealing utilities can be a felony. And you can’t plea ignorant about knowing you aren’t supposed to be paying for gas, water, sewer, electric, WiFi and TV these days. It is actually stealing from your neighbors, because YOU make the rates go higher, the less paid for has to be made up somewhere. So neighbors, if you know this and are tired of paying for others bills, speak out, no matter what utility service it is! JustSaying!

Drama aside. The elected officials need all the cards on the table and to run the town via FLStatutes. If they don’t have the talent and run off Mrs Nickles again and are not following professional advice then they will fail. These stories should be about what they are doing to remedy and solve problems like a professional government.

As long as it appears its a power struggle the ignorance is apparent.

To the one who claims Hawkins heart is in the right place, well that’s nice.

Hopefully he can match that with his head and knowledge. Time is running out.
