That's my tax dollars your bumbling city officials are stealing and/or mishandling.

It is time for corruption to be dealt with and anyone that has lived in the area for more then two years knows how corrupt smalls towns are around here. It never fails to amaze me how the locals continue to re elect the very people keeping them in the trash can. Until you vote out these people in Brewton,jay, Centruy,Flomaton all anybody in this area will have is the trash that the old school goody boy systems allows. Either vote this trash out or dont complain about having nothing nice They need to bring in the Attorney General and start locking people up.

If they had to hire somebody to manage the town, why do they need Gomez! Good job, Ms. Salzman! I am still wondering why Gomez ran for Mayor if he did not know how to do the job?!

Century for too long has been operating off of state Grant money. It is time they started operating within their means. Outsourcing responsibility is a poor way to run the town. Why pay someone in South Florida to run the town when you have elected officials that should be running things. This is like getting hired then having your employer give you money to hire someone else to do your job. Mayor and Council, you were elected, hired, to run the town if you cannot do your job you need to be replaced. Live by the grant die by the grant.

Boxsons comments were a message to Saltzman. Do your job D1 House. Ensure stae funds were being spent wisely. Mike Hill certainly didn't. How about this do you job. FL Senate. Broxson. Also if anyone cares, they don't, why don't they track those big spends from the federal government like EPA grant for about 500 K. My oh my.. where did that go? it was not 1 accounted for on past financial statements.

If he can’t figure out where a million dollars in gas went, with no accountability, he needs to be gone. And to hire a firm and paying them $11,000+ a month to do his job is sad. Step down Mr Gomez you and the rest of the board are apparently not capable of running the town of Century. Thank you Michelle for stopping this waste of money.

Salzman is 100% correct. I know Howard personally for many years and while he is a funny guy, he's also a talker. He's LAZY...looking for the money but forgetting to produce a final product. The mindset is there is a lot of free money out there and that simply isn't true. Rep. Salzman has probably already looked into his background. She is smart like that!!! Thank you, Michelle!! Rep.

They've been there for years and still don't do the financial audits yet pay a consulting group over $11k a month? I'm not sorry but did the mayor literally outsource his job because he doesn't want to learn to do it? Why did he run? Century and the Mayor should do their audits and stop blaming predecessors.

Century is a failed town and its time to just forfeit it to the county and shred the town charter. I find it funny that Gomez doesn't realize he's the one chiefly responsible for this.
