These officials should not be in this position in the first place. They are performing to the best of their abilities and have obviously reached the ceiling of their limitations. You must not have attended a public school John Q. @John Q Public.

I would also be interested in how this "loan process' originated.

A near 50 % loss that has been swept under the rug over the years by moving money around is beyond malfeasance and illegal in my opinion. If the people above this municipality in the State such as Mike Hill, the States attorney and the county commissioners and governor of Florida don't wake up and call this what it is then they are all culpable. This is not a billing error. This is crumbling infrastructure ignored and a public safety issue and environmental disaster. I'm calling it.

Funny, especially when you fine Century folks will probably be saved by another grant (socialism) or handout (socialism). Wish you all could get your stuff together so my taxes don't have to bail you out again. “I do suppose in some ways that failure through incompetence, is less egregious than failure by socialism.”

This may be indicative of a real public nuisance for public safety and the environment. How long have those pipes been underground. Gas can leak underground and be oxidized. A 50% loss should get the attention of people responsible. Century should put in a notice and turn it OFF. Government is not in place to take care of people. Why would anyone continue to let this go on after the no true bill grand jury of March 2019./ They made it clear. The archaic distribution lines are suspect.

I wonder if the gas supplier proves the meter and if anyone from the city witnesses this proving. You also have the right to have a 3rd party test it to see if it is accurate or not then go from house to house making sure all outlets have 1resident 1 meter.

The Florida Public service commission does NOT regulate a municipality utility. The States attorney did assemble a grand jury and reported on this how ever the Florida auditor general does not enforce things. It's been brought to the attention of the Governor yet the people living there still have a committee looking to change the charter. Meanwhile Buzz comes in and finds a way to get some money himself. So what do you do? I wonder if the LOGT, although it was a gasoline tax has been used over time to prop this up. And the accountant allowed the cooking of the books because each is drawing a paycheck off the town perhaps. Although the new auditor has reflected this now as misappropriation of funds. It is just crazy when you look at the whole picture. However it's similar to the county government and change orders -- look at the road pavement on 99 and the bridge in district 2.. They will be a town hall and mealy mouth excuses. Look at national government and the democratic contenders. It's like money is not real, just an imaginary concept. I would just send a notice if I was in charge -- I'm shutting down the natural gas and people figure out their own problem individually. https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2016/08/vt/icf-lauf-report.pdf There is a term for this: Lost and Unaccounted for Gas– LAUG.
