This is a quick article expressing MY personal opinion on the questions voters are going to be asked on November 6, 2012.
The first one pertains to eliminating the Budget Advisory Board in favor of a Finance Committee. Currently the voters elect whom they want to serve on the Budget Advisory Board. Now, the council wants to be able to select whom they want to serve on the Finance Committee. I believe the Charter Commissioners wanted an impartial set of eyes to review the budget and make objective recommendations to the council. Having the council select individuals to the Finance Committee is like asking the fox to guard the hen house.

Next is the question pertaining to the dissolve the Water Department and place all its functions under the town. Our Water Department ranks approximately 20th in the entire state with the lowest rates; so why fix something that is not broken? Our Water Department has done an outstanding job serving the citizens of Lisbon.
Anyone voting in favor of these questions is “brain dead”. Just my opinion!
