Lisbon Maine's Road to BANKRUPTCY --- Part 3

We have a problem in Lisbon. Our Town Government isn't acting in our best interest. Councilors actions make it evident they are serving another master.

Recently Lisbon Councilors:

Voted against saving the taxpayers of Lisbon $200,000 dollars a year by changing dispatch to the County.
Voted against making Lisbon residents safer by reducing emergency response times.
Voted against the most effective implementation of the E911 service. (E911's purpose is to improve emergency response. Adding a layer on top of the service increases the response time and negates its purpose).

These same Councilors will soon vote to take more of our money, 19.2% budget increase, to pay for their refusal to get rid of our costly and marginally E911 compliant communication system.

When businesses see a Town that is asking its residents for a 19.2% budget increase they see a town that is HEADED FOR BANKRUPTCY.

Respectfully

Joe Hill
