An ETHICAL man won. Charlie should have stopped aligning himself with Wells and Bowie. He became their willing puppet. Go Lisbon

I agree I think it is time for some fresh blood on the board. Charlie seemed to be a puppet and never stood up for anything he personally believed in. Charlie is a nice person but just went along with the board. I hope the next election will bring us another couple of new board members. Mike Bowie has been on long enough, there should be term limits. Let's get someon on the board that does not have an agenda, conflict of interest and is not in it for personal gain or vendettas. Maybe one of the employees that left for other jobs. They must know what is really going on there.
