Survivor- Maine Style

 Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Maine is planning to do its
 own, titled 'Survivor -Maine Style.'

 The contestants will start in Bangor , travel up to Millinocket and then
 they will head southwest to Greenville , then over to Rangeley.

 From there they will proceed south to Portland and Bath.

 The final leg will be back to Bangor again--making a loop around the
 state!

 Each will be driving a pink Volvo with Massachusetts license plates and a
 HUGE bumper sticker that reads:
 I'm gay. I'm a vegetarian. Beer is harmful to your health. Republicans
 suck. Obama is God. Deer hunting is murder,
 and I'm here to confiscate your guns.'

 The first one that makes it back to Bangor alive wins.

Local government fraud
As American as apple pie

This is only one particularly extreme example, but this kind of fraud and theft takes place in practically every village, town, country, city and state in the US. The only reason this case became a criminal matter - the ONLY reason - was the Los Angeles Times chose to write a feature story about it. Otherwise it would have continued without end. Citizens were aware of the level of fraud, but just as they fail to do in practically every corner of the country, they failed to organize themselves into a force and fight it. The local news media? They claimed they "lacked the resources" to cover the story properly. If you want to be a criminal in the US, get involved in local government. It's the clearest, easiest, low risk path.

Read Kevin's Plan To Bring JOBS back to Maine.

Action plan to bring JOBS to Maine - immediately

• First – convert some State employees involved in “economic development” to a commission driven compensation structure. If you want to see jobs come to Maine start compensating people based on how many jobs they attract. Period. 

• Commission driven success is a basic tool in private business. We need some common sense in our efforts to improve Maine. Corporations have some ideas to contribute to government; this is one idea we will embrace. 

• Every time we work on attracting a business to Maine – and do not succeed – we will know from that process where we fell short as a State and use this information, actual company feedback, to improve our position to win in the next round. 

• Each time we work with a business to come to Maine with JOBS and that business goes to Alabama or New Hampshire or Tennessee we will be able to create a checklist of what things about Maine that company did not like – where we lost to the competition. 

• Likewise, every time we succeed in attracting a business and JOBS to Maine we can build on that knowledge for more success.

New Health Insurance Rules Are Now In Effect

Expanded health insurance rules take effect nationwide

By Meg Haskell
BDN Staff 

ORONO, Maine — From now on, young adults are covered by their parents’ health policies up until their 26th birthday. Children with pre-existing health conditions cannot be denied insurance. And coverage for preventive screenings such as mammogram and colonoscopy must be covered at 100 percent, without being subject to out-of-pocket co-payment or deductible requirements.

Thursday marked a milestone in national health reform, with several consumer protection provisions taking effect. Champions of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act gathered at the University of Maine to highlight the new provisions.

Tim McGuire, a recent graduate of Husson University and a member of the Maine People’s Alliance advocacy organization, said he is relieved to be able to retain his health care coverage through his parents’ policy.

The Lisbon Reporter

I have noticed a number of comments about the Lisbon reporter being biased toward

 one side or the other, I agree.  HOWEVER I have pointed this out before, I feel it

 bears repeating.  The Lisbon Reporter is NOT a new paper and does not report the

 news in the traditional sense.  It is a blog made up of the OPINIONS of those people

 who wish to post their views.  This is NOT a news venue it is a webpage where

 information is available for the residents of Lisbon (and anyone else who cares to

 read it). 
 
To the best of my knowledge the editor of the Lisbon Reporter does not edit any

 letters/emails sent in for posting.  Items are posts as received, right or wrong.  The

 editor may post his own views on occasion, however I have never known of a view

 not being added to the site.  Please correct me if I am wrong, if you see something

 that is obviously incorrect posted then send in a correction.   
 
I urge EVERYONE to post relevant news and if you feel the need opinions on the

 Town of Lisbon.  I would think the Town manager and Council could take advantage

 of this as another option for providing information to the residents.  
 
If you don't like the bias then PLEASE take the time to provide your view of the other

 side.

P. W. Sugg Boys Soccer Results

The Sugg Greyhounds took their second loss with admirable optimism as  
Maranacook dealt a solid 2-12 defeat on Lisbon's home field. The  
visiting team managed to keep control of the ball for most of the game  
enabling countless shots at Greyhound Goalie Jordan Cole who made  
numerous excellent saves. The Greyhounds were able to make several  
strong attacks with tenacious players like rookie forward Kyle Welsh  
whose speed and endurance are among Lisbon's finest. It was Nick  
Huston's foot that put the ball in the opponent's net twice, first on  
a break-away and soon after on a penalty kick. Lisbon will look for  
their first win as they go to Hall Dale Tuesday.

Must Have Been Too Tuff Of A Meeting For That UP RIVER Paper

"Assessment gaffe sends Lisbon taxpayers into a tizzy

By Darcie Moore, Times Record Staff

Published:

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 2:19 PM EDT

LISBON — Residents enraged by property tax bills that increased approximately 10 percent filled Lisbon’s Town Council chambers and spilled into the hallway Tuesday night as town councilors discussed how to deal with the problem.

Acknowledging that town officials still have many questions to answer, councilors voted unanimously (7-0) to eliminate any tax interest or penalties on property tax bills for the current fiscal year.

Town Manager Steve Eldridge also informed those in attendance that assessor Pat Dow was fired Monday.

Residential and business property tax bills spiked because town staff apparently overassessed the value of the Dingley Press property by a significant margin. To compensate for that error, municipal staff increased the tax bills for other town properties.

Residents, business owners and some town councilors — who railed against the tax bill increases during meetings Friday and Tuesday — criticized Eldridge and municipal staff for failing to provide adequate notification of the Dingley Press assessment error and the resulting spike in tax bills for other properties in town."

What The Town Needs To Do Now‏

It was encouraging last night to see another packed meeting, although 
I did not attend last Friday's sudden emergency meeting, I still hear it 
was still much bigger. So numbers dwindled. Councilor Cote made a good 
point about this sort of issue when he pointed out participation is 
generally low and people only show up when there is a slip, and it is 
generally too late to turn back. This was essentially what School 
Committee Chairwoman Prudence Grant had told a packed meeting, mostly of 
angry students, last Spring when major personnel cuts were made in our 
school system, mainly to the high school. So are we seeing a trend here? 
Sure we are. And it's time for all of us to step up. If we show up for 
one or two meetings a year, then we give Eldridge and whoever else is 
involved with this disaster, consent through our silence. It's not 
difficult to shrug off citizens once a year if it means keeping 
corruption alive. Has anyone asked what could happen for our town if we 
would keep the heat on?
 
I remember being uplifted when I heard a parent speak at last Spring's 
School Committee meeting on the cuts, when she said that we can't stand 
down and we can't stop now. If we're upset, we need to keep at it. 
Attend the meetings, contact our representative to the Legislature. I 
approached her on my way out that evening and thanked her for making 
that point, but issued my one concern. My concern was that this would 
burnout. Students wouldn't remain interested, parents won't return, and 
the School Committee is left to do what it pleases with little 
resistance. Proof of this? Another thing I gathered from these meetings 
is the School Committee's push to remove early graduation, the ability 
of students to graduate early if they have earned all of their credits 
before the conclusion of their senior year. This is something that 
Lisbon High School's principal Ken Healy resisted. But who else was 
there to stand up with him? Surely many students would be upset by this, 
those who I have spoken with and those these people have spread it to, 
severely disliked the idea. But they didn't attend the meetings and 
still haven't. What good is idle discontent doing us?
 
My point is this: We can complain about government. It is no secret that 
the Federal Government is drowning present and future generations in 
more debt that most people can stomach, as we put history to shame with 
our recklessness. The State Government is a tax-happy machine that 
carelessly spends on many failing programs. And now our Town Government 
is driving up taxes because of their screw up by their guy, instead of 
cutting corners and certain overpaid individuals taking a pay cut to 
help soften the blow (especially one who doesn't pay our taxes here in 
town because he doesn't live here). But what are we doing about it? Will 
any of you who were there last night or Friday night be there in two 
weeks at the next Town Council meeting? Or the one after that?
 
Whether or not our Town Council is capable of standing up for its 
citizens and investigating Steve Eldridge and this mess we have now 
thoroughly enough, remains to be seen. But I for one, would assume not 
wait. Lisbon is and has been in a financial crisis going unnoticed for 
some time now. I saw it last Spring with the school, I see it now. And 
it's not just Lisbon's fault. As it was pointed out last night, a lot of 
it goes back to Augusta. And it goes back to a point myself and a few 
others have made, that we must not stop now.
 
Augusta keeps cutting money, Augusta pays far below the amount of each 
school budget as required by law, yet they keep driving up taxes. Why? 
Where is all of this money going? I have had people tell me the money 
isn't there. The money is there. Augusta is just corrupt, just as I fear 
Lisbon is becoming. It's time to take back our State. It's time to take 
back our town.
 
So what do we need to do now? Keep up the pressure. Swing by the Town 
Hall, pick up a Town Report and look at just how much we are really 
spending. It will make you uneasy. But it will make you think. Think 
about ways we can combine and consolidate to increase efficiency and 
save money. You are all right, we are being overtaxed and this isn't 
just. But the Town Council and Steve Eldridge aren't going to make cuts 
that they don't have to make. It's our job to keep the heat on. It's our 
job to come together as a town and see what we can do, what we can push 
them to do. After all, we did elect these councilors and those 
councilors gave us Eldridge. They work for us. Or at least they're 
supposed to. It's about time we make that happen.
 
Another very concerned citizen,
Chris Dixon

 Thank you Sky King for sharing with OUR Readers.

In response to Clyde Cavenders mail

In response to Clyde Cavenders mail. He mentions that The Lisbon Reporter is bias. Yes it is. For the TRUTH.

 

In that respect, I honestly believe the Lisbon Reporter is doing an excellent job as a WATCHDOG for the Town of Lisbon.

 

It has been mentioned that Mr. Cote's remark of not paying our real estate taxes was not such a good idea or in bad taste. I beg to differ. It sure stirred the pot to bring some of the shenanigans to light. Kudo's to you, Mr Cote.

 

Now. I myself am leaning to go back to  our old townmeeting type of government. Maybe the turnout was small but sure is better than half a dozen people now making decisions. And if an article came up that anyone was for or against, all one had to do is round up the people for the cause they wished to pass, and urge them to attend the meeting.

 

BUT. One stipulation.

 

Secret ballot on the budget. For a show of hands, there was too much intimidation from our Lisbon's Finest, whom attended in droves.

 

To wrap this up, I really enjoy the letters the Post receives. Rather I agree or not, is immaterial. Most are informational and well put together. Gives some of us reasons to respond. THE DEMOCRATIC WAY!!

 

Keep up the excellent reporting, Mr Comber.

Another Citizen Filled Town Council Meeting For Lisbon

Lisbon tax trouble, assessor fired
After a heated debate over a double digit increase in property taxes in Lisbon, the town assessor has been fired.
The town says it is now looking into any possible errors that could have increased taxes - while tax payers look for answers.
Frustration was high again in Lisbon.
The council told dozens of angry townspeople it is illegal to change the budget, at this point, in order to change taxes.
It did however vote to eliminate any interest or penalties they pay on their taxes.

Read and Watch more here-->>

Perhaps the most significant vote in Lisbon's history occurred.  And that was a unanimous vote to suspend penalties and interest for NOT PAYING YOUR TAXES.    Councilor Cote  made the motion, based on the issues of topic.  Thank you Mr. Cote,  YOU ARE the ONLY Councilor that GETS IT. 

Assessor Dow is fired and a new one already hired. ???  
{Sniff, Sniff, Sniff}
Hound Dog says, HANG ON!

Another poll was taken regarding the Town Budget.  Mr. Cote also asked the packed, standing in the hallway crowd, "if they would like to vote on the town budget as they do with the school budget".  A Unanimous show of hands from Everyone went in the air clearly indicating to other councilors that YES, they do.   

But then Councilor "re-elect-me" Mason says, "well there you go, you know how to do it, papers have to taken out and a petition has to be done by the people"...  NO IT DOES NOT.   

The Town Councilors can do this by a vote and a change to the wording in the charter.  This has been suggested many times previous to this gathering all to fall on deaf councilor ears. (for those interested, check the archives here on The Lisbon Reporter)

  Funny thing is the councilors didn't have a hard time making changes to the Lisbon Charter that allowed Mike Bowie to again and again be able to chair the meetings.  And what about all the other changes that have occurred recently.

 No Councilor Mason you unfortunately DON"T GET IT.

The word RECALL permeated the chatter amongst residents again last night.  And for good reason that will be explained.  Recalls are based on the number of voters during the last election for Governor.  IF a recall is not done before the November elections this year, the numbers for the petitions signatures that need to be gathered will likely change and based upon current issues will be significantly greater. 

Any stalling at this point will just put a damper on the process and likely result in too high of a hurdle to get over.  Not saying it can't be done, but why wait.

P. W. Sugg Boys Soccer Results (09/21/10)

The PW Sugg Greyhounds kept their spirits up as they suffered a 0-10  
loss against the finest of Gardner's Middle School in both teams'  
season openers on the victors home field. Gardner's physical size and  
aggressiveness dominated the game and prevented Lisbon from making  
many serious attacks. Still, a valiant attempt was made by the Lisbon  
offense with the tireless efforts of players such as Austin Bedford  
and Nick Huston. Lisbon will next host Maranacook on Thursday for  
their first home game.

 Coach (Jim Reeves) 

Another concerned citizen....

I haven't lived in this town my entire life but I do intend to stay here 

and raise my family as I consider this my home now.  I did attend the town

 council meeting tonight as I also attend Friday nights "Emergency Meeting".

  At first I was as appalled and infuriated just like everyone else.  I went

 to hear about why this happened and what we can do about it.  All I got 

was, not much.  Maybe I missed something but thats what it seemed like.  
 
 

In good faith I went tonight to learn more.  Since some of the dust settled

 and the raw emotion has decipated, calmer heads started to prevail.  I did

 hear some good things from citizens and board members.  Mr. Crafts'

 reminder to everyone that they are tax payers just like the rest of us, rumors

 are just that, rumors and should always be taken with a grain of salt.  If you

 hear a rumor and want to believe it then you need to ask the questions and

 make it fact before you feed the fire. 
 
 

Mr. Bowie I think did as good a job as could be done to keep people on the

 task at hand and the subject of the moment.  The thing he said that really

 caught my attention was that we can't change anything UNLESS there is an

 error in the calculation.  I'm sure that is the problem.  I understand it takes

 money to make the town work and I really don't have a problem with taxes

 going up REASONABLY & EQUALLY.  I personally know people whose

 taxes went up $400, $50. Mine went up over $500 and I also know someone

 who's taxes went down over $400.  Mr. Sampson made a great point which

 proves the math is wrong.  Not everyones property for factored appropriately.

  So it sounds like their might be a reasonable way to correct this.  I'm hoping

 this isn't just wishful thinking. 
 
 

The last thing I got from the meeting will be something I will take to heart. 

Mr. Cote voiced the fact that the "people" of the town need to be more involved. 

Go to the meetings, join a committee, be part of the solution and stop pointing

 your finger and saying there is a problem.  Get up, this town and country will be

 what you make it.  That's how it was built and it has gotten weaker because

 poeple started getting lazy and expecting other people to "work for them",

  instead of the many working together to shoulder the burdon, the few have

 remaind and the load has not gotten any lighter.  Everyone wants equity, except

 in the work load, that just doesn't seem right to me. 
 
 

I would like to thank the council members for all their hard work.  I'm sure they

 don't get enough of it but they earn it.  I wouldn't want the job, you get to make

 deicisons for people who can't even show up and tell you what they want until it's

 to late so you have to use you judgement and then get yelled at and called names

 the whole time and you're in the same boat as they are.  Again I say, THANK YOU!!!

Response to Dot Fitzgerald‏

In response to Ms Fitzgerald's response to Greg Garrison.  Everyone has a right to their own opinions, but don't put words in someone else's mouth.  If yu can not report something accurately, then this email and website is bias against anyone who does not agree with them.  If you the Lisbon Reporter are to keep the public informed you need to check your facts before printing them.  If you had verified the statement that supposedly Jerry Samson had said, I believe it was totally different.  Also you one have checked the MMA has nothing to do with the Assessor's other than setting up and arrangement for the Assessor's Annual Conference.

 

This on-line newsletter is not very accurate it only prints one side to an issue, remember there is always two sides to any issue.
