Some things are best observed from a remote distance, as opposed to looking from the inside out.

I’m so embarrassed for Century and I don’t even live there.
If a well meaning group of volunteers were to offer assistance to straighten things out they wouldn’t accept the help. That’s been tried before.

I’ve made many comments in the past about dissolving the town and letting it come under Escambia County, because Century government has done some really dumb stuff in the past, but I actually feel sorry for the Century Council with stuff like this. I’m not sure of the background of all the candidates but if you have no governmental or political background and are just an everyday person off the street coming in and basically flying by the seat of your pants, it’s difficult. All the huge amount of rules and regulations and other legalities, I’m sure is completely overwhelming along with people (who probably couldn’t do any better) putting down every move you make. I’m not going to down them personally because I’d probably be in the same boat and I feel like they are at least trying. Century residents can sit back and keyboard quarterback all they want but until you are in their position, I wouldn’t judge too harshly. Century needs some experienced leadership to guide them until they can get it together or else they may need to consider dissolution.

It is a property tax increase. To see how it is noticed in the City of Pensacola, go to the West Florida Public Library website and look up old copies of the Pensacola News Journal. See the September 9, 2022 edition and the lower half of page 6A. In bold upper case type it reads – NOTICE OF PROPOSED TAX INCREASE. Great explanation above about how they do things in Century. I’ve been to several meetings and each time I was shocked by what I saw and heard. Given all of the screw-ups described above, who will be held accountable? Because its Century, likely no one.

Glad this much needed tax increase passed. Now we can afford to pay for the services the public demands.

Century is a joke. This council is a joke.
Either the state needs to step in or dissolve it
Or something. Good grief
