Taxation without representation! Town just doubled flat rate on gas with out warning.
Any citizen traveling Pinewood Ave. notice high grass in ditches and trash by road, shameful and disgusting. Notified Mayor about ditch level with road, causing water to over flow and go under my houses.Called Town 4 times over period of 5months to at least weed eat ditch for now.Mayor campaigned on cleaning Town up, not happening.Only other ditches I know they weed eat is in front of Town Maintenance Shop.

I’m a little stumped here….
Their normal antics kept your taxes from being raised 151%.

Where’s the problem ?

Read all of the story, including the photo description at the bottom, and you’ll know what they were doing.

Communities depend on commerce. What businesses are thriving in Century? Seems raising property taxes will just drive homeowners elsewhere, likely to an area with more resources and closer to employment.

Look at the picture. What are they doing conducting business or playing pac man on their phone? Looks like they could have at least attempted to be conducting a real meeting while the photo was being taking.

“Quarm to conduct business is all five? That should be changed. LOL!”

The story says “The tax increase is so great that the state requires a unanimous vote of the body for approval”

An increase TO 151% of the current rate would be $1.51 for every current $1.

An increase BY 151% of the current rate would be the current 100% plus 151% more, or 251% times the current rate, $2.51 for every current $1.
