Yep
Hard lessons. Waiting for the audit.
But from within the boundaries ones
that want running water and toilet flushes, think about property taxes, MSBU to keep the lites lit
If TOC can pull it off. More power to them!
Hope the employees at the Pig can wash their hands and cut the meat..
All you complainers ..darn ..you sound about as stupid as the rest of them

All you ..county people..guess what.. we will cost YOU more If unincorporated.

Chose your poison.

These comments are great. Guess what. Some have thought long and hard about this.?

Its been a great civics lesson. All we can hope is that that the ones who stepped up, were elected or hired will pleasantly surprise us all.

Life is a Journey.

If you fire someone..just think its sets them free..may keep them from going to jail even.. Smile and tell Hudson the accountant. BYE. Don’t let the door hit you in the butt.

NEXT?????

Seriously..

Stay dumb or go.. Hawkins you have a meme circulating about you . Your public Joker post on fb is seen more than you may think. Everybody is not your friend.

To be honest, the citizens of Century and town council are just too stupid to run a town. When Starter Corporation opened up their manufacturing plant, within a couple of years they had to close because they could not find employees who would not steal from their job providers. Fast food joints have had to close because they could not find enough employees who cared enough to provide proper service to the public. The Century public would be best served to dissolve their town and turn the council and mayoral responsibilities over to Escambia County which seems to be run more honestly.

@Reality check; A referendum is a fine idea, except for one thing; according to State Law, the only way to get a referendum on the ballot is for this sitting Town Council to vote to put it there. What are the chances of that happening? The only other way to revoke a town charter is for both houses of the Fl. Legislature to do it. I don’t think the legislature would act until after the Governor had to step in and remove some of these people from office and replace them. So in the mean time, the King and His court maintain their rule.

I can remember a time when the gas department was considered a money maker helping the budget.
Sending bills to everyone receiving gas would be a good start.

I think that there is only a single direction that can be taken. I think only 3 people are qualified for Mayor. My first choice for Mayor of Century would be the current Mayor at Bluff Springs. Earl Wise. This guy saved Bluff Springs from the exact same situation. Now there is no crime in the area. He brought job growth to the area. And the community is reaping the benefits. Recycled Aluminium cans have not only put many to work. But he knows business. BJ is second choice. Then D Morgan. The best meter reader Century ever had. 3 real leaders.

@IMHO…….no nobody said it was Hudson’s fault as far as the accounting goes….it’s only that since Hudson only comes in when council calls and is only contracted more or less as a bookkeeper, he’s not aware of what goes on at the town hall on a daily basis to even advise them fully.

The city manager will be there full time to instruct, advise, and put procedures in place where Hudson couldn’t. Someone knowledgeable needs to be there full time since most of the employees are entry level and all of them lack financial know how.

So now it Robert Hudson’s fault?? Sorry, but there’s a certified CPA on the Council. If Robert was wrong in his advisements then I’d think she would have spoken up. Well, on second thought her business got a “loan” too. None of them should be pointing fingers. Nice shirt Mayor, glad your so proud. I’m ashamed for all of you.

We have thought long and hard about all this and considered the options.

It truly now depends upon the ones elected and the ones hired if they will heed the feedback and make a go of this.

Time will tell.
