This is a huge grocery list of things to do. Maybe someone should go through each item on the report and get those things done. Highlighting issues is not a bad thing if the goal is on improving. My wife landed a job recently doing similar type of work and auditing, and she tells me the first thing folks do when she points issues out is get defensive instead of just fixing the issues. Just fix it. Also too many folks are in roles without real qualifications. They either got there on luck, learned how to mimic someone really qualified, or are preferred for some reason other than having experience. Eventually it catches up. It works until it doesn’t.

The company I work for recently allowed me to keep my role while moving back to the Century area after a five year tour. In those five years I had a large role in managing the successful commissioning and operation of a $300 million facility. I’ve spent the last few years developing/writing technical procedures and training folks. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Business Administration.

I don’t say that to brag but to say this article really struck home with me. It’s a shame this place seems worse off than what I remember. Especially in the current economy. I put my job on the line by requesting to move back to here. I did it because my wife and I love the area. I would hate to see part of it go down the tube.

I’m loyal to my current employer so I couldn’t do it as my full-time job but I wouldn’t mind lending a hand in my off time to help get this place on track. If Century doesn’t have the money to spend then it might take looking at local resources to donate time and effort. I’m sure there are others locally with equal or greater experiences who would love the challenge and reward of making Century better. Speaking just for myself all it would take is someone asking.

If they stick their fingers in their ears and pray maybe this will all disappear.

The mayor disagrees with the grand jury report and the league of cities report and basically anyone…

“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him.”

To many coons in the garbage cans if we recycle things in office they would eventually starve themselves out

the town is not being run properly. the mayor may mean well, but he doesn’t have a clue. i just hope the state moves in and helps us out of this mess.
