When the lottery first came to Florida, the big selling point was that it would help pay for infrastructure and public schools. What happened to all the lottery money that was supposed to help with these things?

@Doug,
Where’s the appropriations bill for that bridge? Or anything? Mike hasn’t filed a single appropriations bill in the two years he’s been elected (this time, to that seat,, we all know he’s become a career politician who aspires to be even more of a politician).
Show me SOMETHING. You always jump in here giving him praise, but he can’t even help the district he represents.

The meeting troll Underhill is referring to about Hill was January 24, 2019 and the priorities had already been vetted and voted on in the sunshine prior to that meeting.Joy Jones herself said the second list was ill conceived and would affect the previous list. Commissioner Barry was gracious but Underhill was trying to convince the lowest common denominator not paying attention. This isn’t about Century bridges anyway.

Resident, sorry, just trying to combat fake news about how the bill got paid with actual FACTS.

I reject blind allegiance to the strategy that gave us this trump nightmare.

” how to pay the estimated $300,000 price tag.” Seems like Century spends a majority of their time figuring out how to pay for things. With little revenue stream coming in, it’s just a matter of time before they go belly up. Just let the County take over the town and kick out the current admin.

Willowbrook, etc and all the comments bashing the county….it’s not the county’s issue. It’s Century bridge and they did not inspect it for years and let it fall apart.

Willowbrook Lake was deeded the county and acts as a retention area to control floodwaters and a sediment filter, keeping downstream waterways cleaner.

NOT a private lake.

Gosh, imagine how much good could have been done with the $2M that was pissed away replacing a resident caused failed private dam on private property for their exclusive use (Willowbrook). $1.2M was L.O.S.T. Seems not that long ago that I was at a Dist. 5 Town Hall meeting and jokingly chided Barry that we were lucky there were no legitimate public projects, in Dist. 5, that the $2M would have been better spent on. But, at least, his buddy got his private lake back…..

Sounds like Century REALLY needs to clean house and get some leaders in place that cares about all these things, and are not “good ole boys”

We need to focus more on our infrastructure before people get seriously hurt and/or die.
