It will be interesting to see how this plays out with Senator Broxson being in his final term. He opened up the suggestion of the Legislature dissolving Century, and meanwhile the Council hasn’t flinched.

If he must state that, it's probably not above board. Someone is getting a piece of the action somewhere and what he's proposing is probably not legal, this council has been known to break state laws and Gomez has proven his incompetence time and time again. “Everything is above board with the attorney involved,” Gomez said.

The value of property seems to rise when several people show interest. The secrecy is needed to keep others bodering the property from making a bid.

They pick what looks right and then don’t understand why it keeps failing. Smh. They deserve this outcome imo.

They have been doing the same kind of stuff and worse as far back as I can remember, and nobody has held them accountable. The legislature and the Governor don't seem to care, and the state attorney seems to ignore it. The voters in Century must like it because they keep electing the same caliber of leaders. The best thing any of us could probably do is come up with some kind of scheme to get our hands in the till and enjoy it too.
