Final Century Town Council Meeting For Two Members

December 7, 2010

Monday night was the final meeting for two Century Town Council members. Sharon Scott did not seek re-election and will be replaced in January by Sandra McMurray Jackson. Henry Hawkins was defeated in a November runoff election by Jacke Johnston.

Hawkins did not attend Monday night’s meeting, but Scott took the opportunity to offer thanks for the opportunity to serve.

“I want to thank everybody for the encouraging words,” Scott said, as she shared a story about her son who is in the military that is quick to tell everyone that he meets that he is from Century, Florida. “It’s Century pride,” she said. “We are not from Pensacola; we are from Century, Florida.”

Scott said that her time on the council was not without disagreements.

“But I go to sleep at night, so I must have done something right…even Jesus Christ could not please everybody.”
