Pathetic and Disgraceful Example of Leadership in Lisbon

TOTALLY DISGRACEFUL

Some of you out there are going to say this is very picky and if this was an in-house document, I would agree. However, this document is part of the January 2012 Managerial Report posted on the town web site to be reviewed by millions of people with Internet access. This is a total embarrassment to every member of this community.

 

My article is directed at two individuals and two individuals only: Fire Chief Sean Galipeau and Town Manager, Stephen Eldridge. I have included the Fire Departments portion of the January 2012 Managerial Report. After reading this article, I am wondering how a department head being paid over $70,000 tax dollars cannot write any better than a 4th Grade Level. Galipeau has never been qualified for the position of Fire Chief and does not possess the credentials necessary to perform the duties. This article clearly demonstrates his inability to communicate effectively.

But the largest injustice to the taxpayer in Lisbon is that the Town Manager approved and released this document to the world. Eldridge is paid over $80,000 tax dollars to be the Chief Administrative Officer of Lisbon and he released this document to the Public. Where is the quality assurance; who is reviewing the information prior to being released to the Public?

These two individuals are overpaid and are not qualified to perform their duties by releasing this document to the Public. Can you imagine what people around the world are thinking after reading this garbage?

When is the Town Council going to take action to correct this continued gross negligence? Why must the taxpayers have to suffer the embarrassment of these individuals and the waste of taxpayer’s dollars? These are our tax dollars at work making the Town of Lisbon look ridiculous.
