I also
attended the August 28, 2013 Appeals Board meeting, a
"PUBLIC HEARING, Case #13-1, Larochelle
Properties, LLC. Variance request for front and side setbacks to allow for
construction of commercial building."
The
Chair of the committee, Miriam Morgan Alexander, banged the gavel that brought
the meeting to order, and approximately 15 minutes later, she banged the gavel
to end the meeting.
Now,
I'm not saying that Mr... Larochelle should not be allowed to build on that
site. The 3 buildings that were there were demolished 3 years ago, and the land
has sat vacant. A new building, surely attractive, in keeping with the area, and
well kept will be a welcome addition to town, not to mention the real estate
taxes to be assessed and paid.
What I
object to was the way the meeting was handled.
It was
so obvious that approval of the project was a "done deal" before the meeting
took place.
Members of the public, citizens who took
time out of their lives to attend, were not given an opportunity to
speak.
Miriam Morgan-Alexander claims to be a veteran of The
United States. The military, no matter which branch, fight, and have died,
for freedom for ALL Americans. Not just a chosen
few.
Last
night's Appeals Board meeting was a travesty of Justice, and all who
participated in it, whether there in person, or helped to perpetrate it,
should be ashamed of themselves.
Yesterday commemorated Martin Luther King's I Have a
Dream speech.
Well,
I also have a dream.
I have
a dream that some day the Town of Lisbon will get back to it's
roots.
Where
all residents and taxpayers are treated equal.
Where
our leaders, elected and appointed, are honest and work for the good of the
town and ALL it's residents.
Where
all again have the freedom of speech at meetings.
Where
Trust and Honor again have a place in our vocabulary.

Thank you Dottie for a well written letter. I share your comments and your dream. I hope and pray we both will live long enough to see it happen. There certainly is corruption at the highest level of government in the town of Lisbon. What is the definition of a "Public Hearing" if it doesn't mean that they want to hear from the Public. Where is our Freedom of Speech?
Maybe there should be an ordinance that states "any and all meetings that don't fall into the area of "privacy" have a section in the agenda for public discourse and comments/questions.
When is mrs alexanders sit up for reelection? Time to take out the trash?

Anonymous- I see nothing wrong or insulting with this article. The only insults came from you. I am new to this town & this site but if members of the community are not allowed to participate at public meetings then they are not public are they? How sad and childish you are to stoop to that level. If you don't like this site then don't read it. They say every village (or Town) has an idiot. I am glad that you introduced yourself right off- that makes things easier.
I too will be signing anonymous so you can see how it feels to not see who disagrees with you or insults you- Idiot!
