Lisbon Economic Development Director, Rosie Bradley, has developed herself so well at taxpayers expense that she is moving on to better hunting grounds. A little birdie said that the Bangor area was going to be her new cow to milk.
With all the buildings being torn down in Lisbon, or that have been leveled, or business's opened then closed since she helped cut their ribbons, one has to wonder
Just What Has She Done For Lisbon Anyways?
Has your investment in the position of Economic Development been well served?
She has gone to school at your expense to promote her own agenda. Yes, you the taxpayers have paid for her professional development as it so named by your town manager. Great investment for Lisbon, NOT.
In the real world, like working for a large corporation, if you further your education with their funds, they demand a time of service for retribution or return on their investment in you. Not sure, but don't believe Lisbon will be getting anything back. But maybe you should contact your councilor Gina Mason she Gets It.
Seems the same thing happened in Rumford.
The Big question is when will her 'municipal partner' Lisbon town manager Steve Eldridge do the same. If you had a few 'real working' councilors it could have been accelerated, instead you have the Lisbon Liars Club.
But get this, Lisbon's real manager is Mike Bowie. When you peak into the activities of the Lisbon municipal government, one would have to be blind or incompetent to not realize this. But then Incompetence is something Lisbon loves as it is rampant in your wide spot along the Androscoggin.
So what's next for Lisbon? Will Norma be appointed to the Economic Development Director position? or Will Mike Bowie come out of the closet and dictate himself to be the new town manager?
Remember the motto: Lisbon A Great Place to Live and do Business
And the Race that has been talked about so much in the past, is it over now or will you get a new marathon to cheer for?
Bottoms Up!
