Now is the time to abolish Century.
A perfect opportunity for new young leaders. Supplemental salary, not a career. Gain experience in administration and public services. Hopefully new ideas and definitely a new vision for economic, aesthetic, services, cooperative and positive joint relations with the county, state, and federal government, and sustainable practices.
I would hope that people age 35 and under would run, win, and succeed.
Now is the time for someone to step up to the plate. Those who complain about the mayor and council this is your opportunity to fix this circus. Remember you get the leadership you vote for. Good Luck
This is when you clean house from all of the corruption!!!
The mayor’s salary isn’t nearly worth the hassle of dealing with this train wreck of a town. Then again, perhaps this explains why the current mayor pushes these south Florida contracts where one can potentially pocket a finder’s fee to supplement one’s salary.
