New Year Brings A New Century Mayor, Two New Council Members
January 1, 2021
A new year will bring a new Century mayor and two new town council members.
Benjamin Boutwell will be sworn in as mayor, and political newcomers Dynette Lewis and Leonard White will take the oath of office for town council. Incumbent Luis Gomez will also be sworn in for another term.
The swearing ceremony and a regular council meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Monday, January 4 at the community center on West Highway 4 at the corner of Industrial Boulevard. A reception will follow.
During the 2020 elections, Boutwell defeated incumbent mayor Henry Hawkins. Lewis defeated incumbent council president Ann Brooks, and White was elected to the seat that held by Boutwell until his resignation to run for mayor. Gomez was automatically reelected without opposition.

The council president wasn’t all that honest either. The council president has some wrong doing and faults just like anyone else. Our city council president wasn’t perfect either and if the council president thinks that he or she was perfect then maybe he or she should think again.
Well, here’s hoping New Management will be able to undo all the damage the last regime did! Gotta be better…certainly can’t be any worse…can it?
Council President said on her own signs that Century needed change.
So…. here we go !
Evidently the council member with financial background didn’t know much considering the financial status of the Town.
They still have to repay the loans.
Reading William’s articles on Century government in 2020 provided for some laugh’s and mild entertainment. I wish these new folks the best of luck but somehow, you just have to wonder if its in the water.
Air lines across Pensacola are bummed, because no one in Century will be buying tickets, since Henry Hawkins is no longer in office
Council president has been the only person with any financial background great asset to the town of century if not for her no telling what kinda trouble the town would be in she will be greatly missed wish ben the best with the challenge he has to come good luck happy new year
Which is it going to be? Another train wreck or another dumpster fire?
So glad to see the council president removed what a cancer in city government.
