I surely don't remember all the trouble we are having now going on back then. Oh yeah , some of you that run your mouth was running it back then...like you always do. If people would not run their mouths about what someone else said things would be a lot better. Beau and I love Mrs. Hammond and think she is a truthful, and honest person. She was a great mayor that cared about the town workers. We would be blessed to have someone like her again. Mrs. Evelyn was a good mayor, and all the employees loved her.

Is there some grand benefit or service I missing? Looking at property tax records, the millage rate for Century is 0.9204, which would go away if they unincorporated. This would be replaced with a millage rate of 0.6850 for the Sheriff’s department, which the City has to pay for already as it has not had a police department for decades. This still leaves residents 0.2354 ahead, plus gets rid of all the corruption and mismanagement. The citizens of Century first need to decide is they even want to remain an incorporated city.

Let me ask you why you want to run that mouth about things that I’m sure you don’t even know a dang thing about. You are just like the rest of that bunch can only pass on information that you heard spoken from someone else’s mouth. Well let me speak from my mouth, one that knows for a fact that Evelyn Hammond is one of the most honest people you could ever meet. It’s low down people in that town that like to drag people through the mud to get what they want. Evelyn Hammond could not be pushed around by that bunch that wanted to run the town so they had to go make up lies, try to tear someone down so they could put someone in there that they could control, that’s was just what happen. There is one man that lives in that town that always wanted control, he thought if Evelyn Hammond became mayor he would be able to still control the town through her, boy was he ever wrong. So now Askwhy, let’s talk about this loan that you don’t have a freaking clue about. That loan was taken out to start a family run ex business, that took place long before Evelyn Hammond became mayor. Every dime was paid back plus all the interest. So, before you get out here making statements, that I’m sure you heard from someone else, get your facts straight or keep your mouth shut. Trying to hurt honest people will come back on you. My God bless you, sounds like you may need a blessing. The truth ain’t in you on this matter. Askwhy?

You need to get your facts straight before you run your mouth!!....Evelyn Hammond is my mother and she is one of the most honest people in this town...but there were people when she was mayor that thrived on causing trouble...and im sure the same people is still causing trouble today...why is it that people dont want good honest people running this town...and my brother Eddie Hammond never got free gas... He paid for every ounce of gas he got...as far as the loan (if its any of your business)...she paid back every penny plus interest...so until you can prove other wise you need to keep ypur mouth shut!!

Makes about as much sense as everything else that's been happening. Violators will be prosecuted….or not….and instead placed on a committee to oversee the very thing being violated.

Note how many come on board and ignore the nay sayers. The truth is right in front of everybody. Sell the gas franchise yesterday. The charter is on the web page. Hopefully some of the voters and the people they elected are starting to read it, and not just to increase the amount of money some one can use to benefit them self. It is the dawn of a new Century. either sink or swim.
