Also on a need to know:
At the April 26 2011 Town Council meeting the council
approved on a vote of 6 in favor and one opposed, to spend $5,700.00 to move a
two car garage now located at 42 Village Street, Lisbon, to the site next to
the E. T. Smith Co., the property formerly owned by Mr. Reggie Thibitout,
prepare the site and pour a floating slab to accommodate said two car garage.
Lisbon Emergency recently purchased the property for the sum
of $150,000, cash, and offered the garage to the fire station
It would seem that our Town Officials think that money grows
on trees here in Lisbon.
I say, if the E.T. Smith Co. wants the garage they should find the savings
within their department budget to pay for it. Or have fundraising spaghetti
supper.
What say you, Citizens and Taxpayers of the Town of Lisbon? Let your voice be
heard!
