    Former town employee running for office. Should be well versed on how to run a town incorrectly.

    Obviously, these people are the cream of the crop. I am sure they have the education, experience and leadership skills needed to fix all of Century’s problems. This next election should put Century on the right track, and we will begin to see positive change.

    Small town politics stinks. It will ruin a persons name and reputation. In small towns people never forget. Just saying

    This might be a good time for candidate Hammonds to address why he thought it was ok for him to get free utilities when he was employed by the town and his mother took the rap for him via ethics complaint when she was mayor.

    He would do us all a favor and save himself a bit of embarrament by withdrawing and letting the 2 appointees who stepped up serve.
