Lisbon's Cloak of Secrecy and Intimidation Has Been Exposed, Again!!!

Editor: I want to thank Mr. Larry Fillmore, Mr. Joe Hill, Mrs. Dot Fitzgerald and others for their research and thoughtful articles in the Lisbon Reporter. The cloak of secrecy and intimidation has been exposed for what it is and has been for a very long time. Mike Bowie, David Brooks and their pitbull Eldridge have controlled and damaged this Town for years, maybe decades at this point. Why is Brooks still here? He retired years ago and has never left. Most professional Police Chiefs leave after retiring and go on to second careers. But Brooks won't leave as this has been his "only" career since he was very young. He simply wants to create a bigger Police department and now wants to have a County dispatch center. Why would the County want to put this under his direction, let's face it, he tried to arrest the WRONG Lisbon citizens after a local robbery, cannot prosecute the stolen $32,500.00 discovered by Ms. Jennifer Norris and more. He simply is a local dictator, only interested in intimidation and empire building. Let's have the County maintain the dispatch for the County. That is their responsibility and the Lisbon taxpayers pay close to half a million for County services. Pay no attention to the fictitious pie charts they produce, making the Police dept. look smaller and Public Works look so large.

I also want to thank Councilor Roger Cote for his courageous defense of the Town of Lisbon and putting taxpayers and citizens first. Apparently most of the other councilors have conflicts of interest (Bowie), and are under Bowie's and Brooks' control. Why would anyone just blindly follow unless there are ulterior motives? Again, I hope people support Roger Cote as he tries to return the Town to some semblance of transparency and taxpayer control. Let's also vote for the Municipal budget as we do the School budget. Thank you to all who maintain The Lisbon Reporter and allow different opinions to be published and relay to taxpayers and citizens what is transpiring in Lisbon.

Sincerely,

Mary-Ann R. Morgan
