The Lisbon Seven
Upon the throne sits Lisbon’s high Seven
Gorging on visions of spending our wealth
Debating foul plans never thought of in Heaven
Abounding with high craftiness cunning and stealth
With a nod from the Master another plan takes form
To relieve Lisbon’s poor of their hard earned money
Never considering the price so far from the norm
Just taking the prize with a laugh thats not funny
Without remorse or fear they scheme and plan
Reveling with glee for each new demand
Directing the new among their clan
Promising her wealth gifts and a command
But alas - as November draws near for All
They fear nothing but silence in their great hall

Acting behind the scenes like common crooks

- Congratulations - you are now elected officials! I know you will enjoy your time serving the public. It's an exciting and challenging time to serve. Before you take office, you need to be sworn in. You are invited to the December 6 Lisbon Town Council meeting. At 7pm the meeting will come to order and the color guard will post the colors. After the Fire Department promotions are done, I will call your name and then you will come forward to take your oath of office. You may bring your family and friends. There's usually plenty of room. You may take pictures if you like. After the oaths are done, we will elect the next Council Chairman and Vice Chairman, and then recess the meeting for a few minutes so family and friends who wish to leave can without feeling disrespectful...
- Now I am just wondering. Will this be the same "Hypocritical Oath" as
Vice-Chair Pomelow and Re-elected Councilor Mason took or is this the
same meaningless bunch of words from years past or something new and
exciting?
Seems like they both got caught after the fact and then had to go get the paperwork trail smudged out so that they we not in fact in violation of this so called Pomp & Circumstance called Oath of Office and the swearing in process regarding the Town Charter and Ordinances that they in fact so solemly swore to up hold.
But with Bowie & Brooks providing cover I really don't expect much to change. Too bad I can't sell my home and leave Lisbon. Mainly because I just cannot fathom supporting the immoral actions of this town's administration. Let alone the taxes that will be increasing significantly next year.
Look around, business' closed, people vacating homes and you cannot even believe the figures that the Town Council votes on.
How good it of gotten so terrible?
Oh, and Councilor LaRochelle buying a piece of land to improve his property fromt the town with no record of it ever going out to bid. Talk about an inside job. Twist up a couple more Fern you and Eldridge are quite the pair. Really helping out Lisbon.
Signed,
a life long retired resident that does know what is going on.
p.s. Thank You to the Lisbon Reporter and all their efforts for bringing us citizens the true facts.
Keep up the excellent work. People are reacting a lot differently now.
