SHAME ON TOWN MANAGER STEVE ELDRIDGE

SHAME ON TOWN MANAGER STEVE ELDRIDGE

 

ANOTHER STALL TACTIC

 

At last night's town council meeting,  (September 20, 2011), under Council Orders, Resolutions and Ordinances

2011-176 Order -   231 Lisbon Street, the terms for allowing Mr. James Morealles to keep his property was read by

the Town Clerk, word for word, and discussed, again, mostly by Councilor Mike Bowie.

Mr. Morealles, who was in the audience, was asked if he had received a copy of the proposal.

He answered that he had not.

 

I don't know when the proposal, drawn up by our illustrious Town Attorney Roger Therriault,

supposedly reviewed and approved by Town Manager Eldridge, had been posted on the Town of Lisbon

website, yet Mr. Morealles never received a copy prior to the meeting ? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

The proposal James Morealles was asked to accept did not even have a dollar amount listed on the document.

A proposal he is supposed to accept so that he can retain his property at 231 Lisbon Street, Lisbon.

 

WHY DID HE NOT HAVE A COPY PRIOR TO THE MEETING?????

There certainly was time enough to get a copy to him.

 

In the Town Manager's and Council's generosity, they are allowing him time to have his attorney review it.

 

Another stall tactic on the part of Town Manager Steve Eldridge! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

Providing Mr. Morealles with an advanced copy of the proposal, showing a dollar amount

owed to the Town of Lisbon would have been the right thing to do.

 

Mr. Morealles property at 231 Lisbon Street Lisbon has been grossly over-valued and over-taxed by

the town for years. As had been the property at 3 Village Street the town foreclosed on, for taxes owed.

 

SHAME ON TOWN MANAGER STEVE ELDRIDGE! ! ! ! ! !  

 

SHAME ON EACH AND EVERY COUNCILOR WHO CONSPIRED

 

IN THIS GROSS INJUSTICE! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

TO A BUSINESSMAN AND TAXPAYER OF THE TOWN OF LISBON
