Take the money out of salary payroll! It will help them learn to manage the money better!

@chris “but I’m so tired of hearing about it’s all the Mayor and Council’s fault.” so then who is at fault? Don’t the Mayor and the Council kind of run the town? Or am I missing something?”
Yes you are missing something. The people run the town, then it’s the Mayor and Council who are to act on their behalf. So essentially, the people are not doing their part.

“THE TOWN IS DROWNING AND EVERYONE IS JUST STARING” The first rule I learned as a first aid first responder was this: Don’t jeopardize your own safety in order to save somebody else.”
Seriously? Use your head, this is meant figuratively. I’m saying no one is even throwing a rope out there trying to help. This is a town where people can come together. It’s not like I’m saying they should sign over their house as collateral. Have you ever seen a community of ants? It’s not only 5 of them doing all the work for the thousands.

Anyway, like I said the county doesn’t care about the north end. They barely get the grass cut along the road ways out this way a couple of times a year. Be careful what you wish for. The grass isn’t always greener.

@chris ……ummm.. It’s meant figuratively. I’m not talking about people throwing in money or “drowning” themselves. I’m talking about no one is even trying to volunteer a little bit of time or even coming to meetings to assist finding solutions. Have you ever seen ants work together? they don’t let just 5 do all the work. I mean seriously, use your brain. Your comment was just as uneducated as the people you are claiming are unqualified.

And again, the rest of the county can barely get the grass cut down the roadways and you think they are really going to give 2 cents about the people up here? Like I SAID, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

” I understand employees are getting paid to perform a certain job” What is the relevance of this statement? What does that have to do with the town bleeding red ink?
“THE TOWN IS DROWNING AND EVERYONE IS JUST STARING” The first rule I learned as a first aid first responder was this: Don’t jeopardize your own safety in order to save somebody else. What would you expect citizens to do? The leadership of the town is beyond unqualified, and does not appear interested in making Century any better. Dissolve the charter and surrender to the county.

Everyone wants to talk about the good people of Century and how they deserve better than this. I agree the town should know what’s going on and also be accountable but I’m so tired of hearing about it’s all the Mayor and Council’s fault. Hold Citizens accountable too. Everyone likes to get on their soap box and talk the talk behind their keyboards/cell phones but citizens don’t even come to the meetings. I’ve been to several myself and there was never more than 10 citizens there, usually less than that. The community needs to do it’s part too. I understand employees are getting paid to perform a certain job but all that is happening did NOT go wrong in a day and they can not fix it in a day. This has been decades in the making.

THE TOWN IS DROWNING AND EVERYONE IS JUST STARING WHILE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT CAN’T SWIM, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HELP SAVE IT!

Do you all really think the county is going to care about the North End? Why would they when it doesn’t bring any money? They are going to focus on areas that do. That is already proven in other areas of the county. Careful what you wish for. Right now, you have a voice for the north end. Don’t lose it. It CAN get better, but it needs everyone to work together.
