They are going to need more than that. Law enforcement needs to prove this town… Let hope for the best and just pray.

REGARDING:
“negative comments from people who are unconcerned with making things better, just pointing out what they think is wrong. ”

You can’t make things better until you have identified what might be wrong. If I thought I were perfect, I wouldn’t know better without friends and enemies pointing out the truth to me.

Thus, pointing out flaws (if any), is a reasonable action, no matter what their reason.

David for better

You don’t have to go to a meeting to offer suggestions.

Noted on the petition.. And I also do not think the present council nor king henry would act to disincorporate. As far as Governor and both member representives, they are not over stepping their authority. It truly is in the hands of the ones presently elected. It is their duty and responsibility to straighten this out. We’ve been watching and considering the options. There were some more qualified people than ran but were not elected. Things have apparently been dysfunctional awhile. The Warren Everitt audit hopefully will address the lack of them collecting money properly. Honestly, we don’t want to be a part because it seems it is getting even more out of hand. If the mayor will not turn over info to the council something will have to give. The states ATTN can not continue to be complicit. We wonder if there is anyone left in the town who can and will be able to govern. Looks bleak.

You know , there are always so many negative comments from people who are unconcerned with making things better, just pointing out what they think is wrong. Again do you attend meetings, offer suggestions or just talk and write about what you think is wrong?

>>> Why is Thursday the deadline? Should you allow more time for people to apply?

“by 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 25.”

Could the Charter Review Committee action just be scheme to take heat off the TOC? Why is Thursday the deadline? Should you allow more time for people to apply? Have they already decided in advance who will get the position(s)? TOC has an integrity problem among many other issues.

Maybe they should hire someone to fix the splash pads?

I’d love to know who will be doing the picking for the charter committee? I would certainly hope it’s not the king

@Resident; Just FYI, a petition drive would be a waste of time because under Fl. Law, there are only two ways to revoke the charter of a city or town. The first being the governing body (town council) would have to vote to put a referendum on the ballot. Under the sitting Town Council, I see little or no chance of that happening. The second way is for both houses of the legislature to approve rescinding the charter. I doubt that the legislature would step in until things get way worse in Century. If the audit, or any of the investigations prove any wrong doing, Gov. De Santis could step in and replace any of the bad actors, then something could possibly be done. In the mean time, King Henry is trying to fly that plane into the ground.
