These are all very small municipalities. (Mexico Beach was also all but obliterated by Hurricane Michael.) Sounds like the Florida Auditor General needs to reach out to see what can be done to get these small northwest Florida local governments into compliance with the auditing statutes.

Maybe it does need to lose its charter but the idea of turning it over to the county to solve its problems may not be the best idea. Should the folks that don't live in Century or caused their problem be saddled with coming out of their pockets to bail them out? I don't think so. Reminds me of the great Biden idea of forgiving the student loan program. Senator Broxson says he has known of this Century problem for 14 years yet all he has done is throw our state tax money at it and hope for the best. Glad he is on the way out but not before he tries to throw the good folks in North Santa Rosa county by forming a utilities authority that they don't want or need. More on this later.

They should do that and let the county take over. Didn’t Salzman and Broxson mention ending their city charter? They should do that and let the county take over.

Obviously the County and the State don’t care since nothing is ever done about it. Senator Broxton said he’s been following this mess for 14 years. There was a Grand Jury report and nothing was done. Sunshine Laws ignored, public water supply not tested, lost or missing and on and on. No fines, no reprimands, no accountability. Why change now?? And what’s new??

Anyone who has followed the City of Century through NorthEscambia.com's articles for any length of time knows things are not right, not sustainable, and in all likelihood the charter needs to be rescinded.
