The people Complaining about the public are Wrong. It is not Required to be at every meeting. ( Meaning not Law) Put it is Required by the Local officers to Make public about a Vote. I never heard a meeting on a Saturday……….much less a Unannounced meeting. What happened to the Sunshine Law or putting this to a Vote the Citizens of Century on the Pallet. Cause they knew it wouldn’t Pass. I thank Everyday I am a County Resident.

I live in Century, almost 3 years now. What a circus this has been. First of all, it is disheartening to see the comments of a lot of these posts, I am hoping that if you hate a town so much, you do not live in Century. I love this town and I choose to believe it can overcome past problems, but we need forward thinking people to step up. What I see, is the same people, same thinking, same mistakes. The board needs to start over, let new people, new ideas, and a new way of doing things come into play. Please people, instead of being so quick to criticize and downgrade the town, try to think of ways to make it a better town. We need change for sure! I may be somewhat naïve as I am fairly new here, but I want to see change here, I want to see positivity.

Advertising days and times seem to never be published correctly. Why does this keep happening.

@Lordy Lord I really don’t believe we have 360 million people in the county and Century. That certainly would explain so many idiot drivers. Check your numbers.

Do any of you that are so upset about this approved 151% Property Tax Increase attend any of the town meeting. That’s the main problem if you don’t. I have seen pictures on here showing a town meeting and was just wondering where is all the people of Century at. You have got to show up and voice your opinion on town problems and if you have a better solution or just want to add suggestions you can speak up. After it is said and done it is to late. Go to meeting keep up with what’s going on in your town so you can have the right to fuss about it when the town does things like this.Don’t come up with all kind of excuses for reasons you can’t go to the meetings because you get what you weren’t at town meeting to stop from happening or to help push through.

There has to be a cap on the rates they can increase. People need to complain. This isn’t going to affect many generations to come. This is why Century hasn’t changed in Centuries, generations have suffered from the planning or lack of and squandering of finances since I was a child and that’s been almost 50 years!

I just want them to remember who they work for. My father did not work the coal mines for me to not enjoy my life in my 90’s and still ticking and kicking. I married up so they say. We have had a good life, but how is my grandchildren going to get any inheritence ?? I should run for your job, I would show you whippersnappers a thing or to.

How does the local officials in Century keep getting away with this stuff? Why has Escambia County not stepped in and say enough is enough and take over.
