Oh Brooks? Hollywood Is Coming To Maine!

Well Now!

This may not make sense to some readers, but most of you ought to be able to relate. Seems not so long ago councilor Cote was "basically Ambushed", as one lawyer put it, by Lisbon's "so called" Finest, Police Chief David T. Brooks. (Those that need to catch up may learn more here.)

Roger Cote stood his ground by literally sitting in his seat and watched in, no doubt shock, embarrassment, anger and disbelief as 30 years of Police Experience came forth through the Verbal Diarrhea display exhibited by a $72,000.00/year salaried Town Employee.

Who has already retired from this Chief of Police position once before.

Insubordination come to Mind? Seems pretty clear.

Chief Brooks as a paid employee of the Town of Lisbon acted in Violation of Town Charter, by NOT handling his concerns with the Town Manager, Steve Eldridge, as proper procedure for dealing with Employee/Employer Relationships. In this Case, Roger Cote, Town Councilor/Employer; and Chief of Police David T. Brooks, Employee.

Anyone else noted that Town Attorney Roger Theriault has just evaporated. Remember last summer when he was at just about every Town Meeting.

I recently learned that Quirk Auto Group will be hosting Try Outs For an episode of "Deal or No Deal" you should put your coat back on and head Down River while the water is high.
"Now deal with it."

Since you again spent Town Monies that could have better served the residents.

Considering the following letter from a "dedicated" citizen,

YOU as Lisbon Police Chief, David T. Brooks Should Be Proud.

You've managed to Suck Monies out of this Community again this year!




A request from Faye Brown:

I recently wrote a little article about our town Gazebo and why it has stars and stripes. This season just before the 4th, beautiful new patriotic bunting was purchased for the the gazebo and the blue wagon near the Civil War Monument. Sadly, not everyone is very appreciative of this nice little area.

Idiots have burned the railings with cigarettes (no smoking is allowed in any of our town parks), and someone keeps stealing the hanging stars.

About a dozen have been stolen so far in the last few weeks. They used to just rip them out and throw them on the ground, but now they are stolen. At 10:45 P.M. after the fireworks, I hung the last of my extra stars so the gazebo would look nice for our Moxie weekend.

Several of them were stolen last week.

The town parks all close after sundown, so I would urge anyone seeing activity in any of our parks/cemeteries to call the police. I would also ask parents to notice if any of their 'little darlings' have 5" wooden white stars left around their premises.

If so, just drop them off at the barbershop steps- that would be nice.

Now to my request-

I am hoping that someone will be willing to make a bunch of new stars. I can give anyone a pattern star, and I will also provide a length of white composite or a board. I will not give in to these vandals!!

I want our gazebo to have those hanging stars. And a security camera would be nice too. By the way, not one town citizen answered the call for more volunteers to work on the town gardens.

The town doesn't pay anyone to maintain the gardens, just to mow. Volunteering to take over just one small area would be a big help.

If anyone is interested, call Faye at 353-2728 0r 353-5771 FMI .Maybe next year the addition of several volunteer citizens AND the weather will be more helpful.



How about some Stars For Faye?
