Last Chance‏ To Speak As Citizens Before The Budget IS PASSED!!!!!!!!

LAST CHANCE!!!!!

Tuesday night at 7:00 PM will be the last chance for the people of Lisbon to speak out before their taxes sky-rocket next year.  The Town Council will vote in, yet another, inflated budget without making an attempt to curtail the excessive spending by Chief Brooks.

This will be the last time before you receive your tax bills for you to tell this council just how you feel about them raising your taxes.  So we all know that when you voted for the gym and the track you were going to see a tax increase.  Just how much was never truly known because no one was sure of the Municipal budget.  Well, it’s here and the council has not made any attempt to reduce Chief Brooks' three Administrative Assistant/Secretaries; making due with his vehicles for one year, two detectives instead of one and the most outrageous is over 5% wage increase for the Communication Center.  Reducing the Police Department budget by anything was never considered seriously.

It would appear that all of these obvious unnecessary expenses are going to be disregarded by the Council.  This Council will approve the Police Department budget without even batting an eye.  Watch and see which Councilors really care about our community and who are interested in protecting Chief Brooks’ budget.

Tuesday is the right time to voice your concerns about your taxes; not once you get your tax bill.
