Lisbon Loses A Councilor Whose Shoes Can Never Be Filled!!!

THE END OF AN ERA

Last night was Councilor Roger Cote’s last town council meeting.  As always Roger left the council with dignity and class.  Councilor Cote always put aside his personal feelings and voted for what was best for his constituents and the Town of Lisbon.  If anyone wants to question his loyalty to Lisbon review his voting record.  I cannot remember a single council meeting Council Cote missed during his three years on the council.  His dedication and professionalism to Lisbon will never be matched by another councilor. 

Councilor Cote tried to make a difference in the living conditions and improve life in Lisbon.  This challenge was always met with disapproval by his fellow councilors.  A review of his warnings to other councilors on the consequences of their actions has come true in almost every case.  His fellow councilors did not have the common decency to thank Roger for his service.  Mark Lunt did thank Roger but it was in such a low voice no one in the audience could hear him.

The Town of Lisbon has suffered a great loss without Councilor Cote being on the Town Council to point out the real issues.  Without Roger being on the Town Council means the puppet master and his stooges are going to run wild raising taxes to support an inflated police and fire budget.  The town manager will be foreclosing on citizen’s property right and left.  The town attorney will be raping the community in legal fees.  Councilor LaRochelle will be purchasing town owned property right and left.  Vice Chair Pomelow will become the Chairperson and no one will be allowed to speak at any meetings.  The town of Lisbon will become more of a joke than a great community to raise a family as it once was.

I personally want to thank Roger Cote for his service and explain that one councilor, no matter how good he is, cannot change the injustices this town council has inflected on this town.  It takes four councilors to make a difference and as long as Bowie, Pomelow, Mason and LaRochelle are there it is only going to get worse.  Hang on Lisbon because you are in for some very disturbing times.

A final note, look at the old articles on The Lisbon Reporter and you will see nothing has changed in the last few years because one councilor cannot possibly make a difference standing alone against a group of councilors committing collusion.  Prior to the council meeting, the puppet master held pre-meetings to instruct the stooges on what to say and how to act.  I have no hope Councilor-elect Ward will be anything more than another puppet instructed to protect the police and fire budget at all cost.
