MISMANAGEMENT‏

 Dot Fitzgerald

Larry Fillmore's article (see below) is a prime example of why the Town of Lisbon's taxes are so high;

Putting a non-qualified person in charge of four (4) departments when he is barely qualified to head the

ones  (two) he was already in charge of.

It's too bad the workshops are not taped and aired on TV. Viewers would have seen Ryan Leighton

red-faced and stammering about the difficulties at the Public Works and Transfer Station.

Councilor Ward may have been on the right track when she mentioned that perhaps the employees

at those two departments need training. Or is it Department Head Ryan Leighton that needs the

Management Training?

It would seem that Town Manager Steve Eldridge is the one most in need of management training.

To put an untrained, unqualified person in charge of Solid Waste, plus Public Works and the Transfer

Station, in addition to the Engineering Department is, simply put, pure insanity and irresponsible.
