Lisbon Desperately Needs To Get It's Town Government Back Under Control

                                               Lisbon Crossroads

 

In my humble opinion Lisbon is approaching a crossroads. The path she will take is up to you.

 

Will she take the right path and bring town government back under control or will she turn her head and give all control over to the few for their own personal gain.

 

Over the last months I have seen some hidden external force exert its will over our Council, getting bolder and bolder as the time goes by. The face on this force is hidden from public view but make no mistake the force is there. It can be seen by observing councillors actions.

99.5% of our town wants a vote on the budget yet our councillors flatly refuse to allow us the vote.
The Council has been taking its residents land with no regard for the impact it has on our neighbors lives.
Free speech at town meetings has been severely limited.
The peoples ability to remove a corrupt councillor is in the process of becoming extinct.
Our police apparently refuse to enforce laws on some councillors.
And the list goes on and on.

We need to take our town back. We need to go to the next Town Council Meeting and let our councillors know the veil is lifting. We can see what is happening and we won’t allow it anymore.

 

As English philosopher Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.” Lisbon is full of good men and women. Let our voices be heard.
