Where is the COMMON SENSE IN LISBON‏???

 
 
 
It would seem that our town of Lisbon leaders, well paid leaders I might add, are lacking in common sense.
 
Cases in point:
The director of our Engineering Department is NOT a licensed engineer. 
 
A Class or Grade 4 license is necessary to operate a Sewerage Treatment Plant, yet the Director of the Town of Lisbon Sewerage Plant has a Class or Grade 2 license.
 
At the April 16, 2013 Town Council meeting we learned that there were not one, but two "incidences"
where untreated sewer was discharged into the Androscoggin River.
 
For these "incidences", DEP,  the Department of Environmental Protection, is fining the Town of Lisbon $22,000.
 
Instead of having a qualified person as Director of the Sewerage Treatment Plant, the town council is looking to
our State Representative, Dale Crafts, and Senator, Garrett Mason, to convince DEP to lower the fine being assessed
to the Town of Lisbon.
A fine the taxpayers will have to pay.
 
And now, our leaders want to take over the Town of Lisbon Water Department.
Guess who is taking classes and who our leaders are priming to head up the Water Department?
 
We, the voters of the Town of Lisbon, will be voting on that issue in November.
 
Do we really want an unqualified persons running our Water Department?
 
                         I KNOW I DO NOT! ! !
  GUESS HOW I WILL BE VOTING NOVEMBER???????

It is my understanding that a condition of Ryan Leighton being hired was that he would become a Licensed Professional Engineer. 14 years later and Leighton still is not a Licensed Professional Engineer. If it was a condition of his employment why is he still here. Lisbon has a history of hiring people who are not qualified at the time of employment. Look at Rosie Bradley, Pat Dow, Sean Galipeau and there are more. When are we going to wake up and hire qualified personnel.

What's hurting this Town is the mismanagement and overspending of the Police chief and Town manager. Thank goodness for Larry and Dot. Truth hurts and living in denial accomplishes nothing.
