In the latest town Managerial Report, Town Manager Stephen (Evil) Eldridge exposed the methods he has been utilizing to keep the Town Council and the taxpayer's supporting his and his co-conspirators (Bowie and Brooks) agenda.  I want you to know what he wrote in his article it is completely true up until a point and this is what he does to further their agenda.  I have tried and tried to explain this to the Town Council but Bowie has them wrapped around his finger.  Only Councilor Cote has seen through this smoke screen.

As Eldridge mentions in the article the town has been bombarded with “Freedom of Access Act (FOAA)” by one person and that person is I.  I am not a mushroom, kept in the dark and feed crap.  The town is supposed to be transparent which means the taxpayers have a right to know what these people are doing with our tax dollars.  If you remember correctly, I was not involved until they raised our taxes two years ago.  Since then, I have been trying to find out why the town is spending so much and why we cannot reduce your taxes by reducing spending.  The town clerk and finance director have been extremely helpful in pursuit of the truth, however, when it comes to Chief Brooks and the retirement/rehire policy I was stopped.  Also when I started to look into the Economic Community Development Department’s outstanding loans I was stopped.  This made me very curious so I filed two law suits against the town, which were combined into one, to find out what the town does not want me to know.  The town was ordered by the judge to provide me the information requested on the retirement/rehire and a large portion of the outstanding loans.  It has been a struggle to get this information out of this supposedly transparent government.


There are only two pieces of information missing and that is the “Date of last payment” and the “Amount”.  The reason this it is so important is because the past history of the ECD with the $32,500 misappropriations, the illegal $150,000 dollar loan which has been paid back, and finally a current $200,000 dollar loan which is in question.  According to the article, my pursuit has cost the taxpayer over $7,000 dollars which is probably very true.  What he failed to tell you, this expense was created by the town attorney and Eldridge and not by me.  You see every time the judge issues dates for the attorney’s to have their briefs to her, Roger Therriault has failed to comply causing yet another court appearance.  Roger Therriault is and has been the problem since the beginning by providing bad information to the town.  This was clearly demonstrated by the judge proving me the information in the retirement/rehire suit and all but two parts of the second suit.  Keep in mind, neither Roger Therriault or Stephen Eldridge pay taxes in this town so they could care less about how much it cost.  The town attorney has been utilizing this delaying tactic for years while he rapes the citizens of Lisbon with legal fees.

The proof is in the pudding.  The town was forced to provide all of the information I requested, with the exception of the two pieces still in dispute, because according to the law, I was entitled to it.  This is why I have asked the judge to have the town pay my legal fees.  I am asking for nothing more than what it has cost me to retrieve information I was always entitled too.  


This should have never come to this if the Town Council had done their job and told Eldridge to provide the information, unless they have something to hide.  This situation was created by two factors:  (1) I had the guts to challenge the town; (2) the town is hiding something.  What is it they do not want us to know?

This is the method of operation for Eldridge and Therriault.  Eldridge never presents all the facts; instead only presents the facts to further his agenda and Therriault utilizes delaying tactics to rape the citizen for legal fees.  We need to thank the town manager for finally putting it in writing so the people and hopefully the council can see what he and Therriault are doing to this town.

Stay tuned for Part Two.
