Eldridge's Salary‏

Hi there,
I've been following this tax mess (much credit to your site for keeping 
people, as well as myself, in the loop) closer lately and have offered 
the same point each time when discussing it with people: Why are we 
footing this huge bill when Steve Eldridge makes excessive amounts of 
money to be a town manager in a small town? In 2009, he made over 
eighty-seven thousand dollars. I don't have a 2010 report, so I don't 
know what his salary is this year, but I have a hard time believing it 
has gone down and not up. So why is Eldridge keeping his salary up and 
not taking a cut, while we get stuck with a massive increase in our 
bills? I'm very involved in politics, so I know, it is a very farfetched 
idea to suggest any figure in any level of politics would willingly take 
a cut. But how can we, as citizens with already high taxes, accept this 
while Eldridge keeps his cozy pay?
 
I don't buy a single thing this man says. And although I was unable to 
attend the emergency meeting on Friday, I intend being at the Tuesday 
meeting. I hope that many Lisbon citizens will not let this situation 
rest and flood the building again.
 
And Eldridge needs to go. But he's not the only one.
 
A very concerned citizen,
Chris Dixon
