I am sure there are others that would have loved to have it, especially for that price. When will the town ever learn, why do things so underhanded? Should have gone up for bid!

It was only 1.5 acres.. In century. In the town limits. I don't see what the fuss is all about. I would not have give that for it! If anyone wants to buy property, surely u could find better! Century is not the only place where corruption runs rampant. Look at Washington DC!! There are far bigger issues to be fretting over than somebody getting a tiny little worthless piece of land. That they paid county assessment value for.. Nobody wanted it til they find out it was sold for the right price.. Greed and jealousy isn't becoming of a community..

This is/was most certainly favoritism. Neighbor to the mayor, friend to the city clerk, former city employee who resigned (probably for shady deals such as this one). When are we going to stop complaining, stop voting for the corrupt and do what’s right for our community and take action? Heck, when are we going to start going to the city meetings??
