Isn’t Century already in debt all the dopeheads out there none hardly work, so our taxes is goin to a guy that looks like he is smiling so nicely like the guy on that nutrigenex commercial about men over 40 and your ladies will like it too. Well I don’t agree too this how is this guy going to know what’s best but who knows he might come in amd see all the money exhortations of the other’s who knows but I guarantee he won’t give a crap about nothing but making his company money.

When Donald Trump was President, he accepted no salary. f Gomez is Mayor and wants to hire a firm to do his job @ $7500.00 a month then he should accept no salary or take it out of his income.

I’m not exactly certain of the town’s population but I saw it to be at, or near 1,700 folks,
give, or take. I’m wondering if each resident donated 20 hours a month towards making improvements for their town if it would yield a positive beneficial result? I’m fairly confident that at a minimum it would create a genuine sense of ownership and foster a delightful esprit de corps rather than what seems to be endless criticism and snarky jabs at all of those previous unsuccessful experiences. If my math is mathin correctly that would equal 400,000 volunteer hours per year if it were 100% participation rates. 34,000 hours per month I think. My profession is large loss high end commercial disaster restoration construction project management. So I’m responsible for significant sums of money in property, equipment, personnel, labor, and safety and generally the overall financial health and well-being of whatever project is assigned to me. If I had those labor hours available to me I’d could get you all to the moon in a year if that was the objective. I’m not poking at the residents of the town, just offering some encouragement and perspective on what can be accomplished with the proper approach, attitude, motivation, determination and a willingness to make whatever changes that are necessary to achieve something to be proud of, a legacy to leave for your posterity and an undeniable testimony to your commitment to your town and to each other and the life you truly want there. It’s much easier to sit on the fence and hurl insults and offer words of condemnation, but in my experience that sort of thing yields zero positive impact or results. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Good luck Centurions.

Meanwhile, Florida legislators are preparing proclamations to name roadway segments after semi-famous people and declare that today is “such and such day” instead of investigating fraud, waste, and abuse of public funds by entities like this.

Is this legal? You just sabotaged the election process? The people of Century voted for the mayor and now the mayor is being “replaced” by the consultant.

Why have an election? Just appoint a consultant.

The mayor’s salary, or at least half of it, should go towards the contract. Only fair because the consultant is going to carry the burden of the city.
