" To those who have lived in lewiston your lives, it's about time for some of you to step up and run for the city council. Even you who are retired can run, it might be better as you will have more time to be dedicated to this. Someone also needs to investigate the laws of the city and its administations and even the the city atturny. I believe it would Not take long to find many illegal actions from most all including the mayor and council members. They may not know it but a lot of Laws are being broken I'm sure. Mayor you cant make up your own City meeting laws on the public. You need to go!! "

" "not to give them his own interpretation or meaning" quoted from Toms blog, is this an oxymoron. This is what the council and Barb are doing NOW. Follow their own rules when it benefits them or covers up their mistakessss, too many to list. They all need to go to Church this morning and repent their sins they have cast upon Lewiston Residents. God will forgive and so will the citizens IF THEY ADMIT YOUR FAULTS!! "

" Okay, Tom what do you know? A lot of your posts hint at a bigger picture. You last sentence leads a reader to believe you know something else. As for Sonny, you need to be taking your frustration out on the citizen's of the community for electing these folks. Concern for a community can only go so far when the community's elected officials want to screw you. "

" Hello Louie, almost sounds like you were surprised that Dungy filed a lawsuit? I guess you really didn't know him very well now did you? It also sounds like you would write him and his lawyer the check just because they sound like they know what they are doing? If Dungy learns anything over all this, I hope he figures out that it was his job to uphold the laws, not to give them his own interpretation or meaning! "
Sonny wrote on Jan 26, 2008 10:54 PM:
" All the Dungy backers should be glad he has sued and wish he would have sued for more. That would teach the council a lesson, wouldn't it? He knows where the money has to come from. To me it doesn't look like he cares about the citizens. From what I have read, everything the council is saying about him he brought on himself. "

" FYI...More people in Lewiston signed the petition than voted in the last election...you would think that would mean something to this council, the only reason they got voted in is no one ran against them, they did not get the majority of Lewiston's voting population. I still wonder if the business people are getting sick of this yet, this all has to be hurting their businesses. "

Now did the city also pay for both Retraining orders that were filed in her name. And does she have attorney there too and are we the tax payers ponying up for that?? "

" Petition? Since when does a petition trump a vote? The majority of people in this town voted this council in, right or wrong. These problems go back to when Dennis Engrav was mayor and Richard and Bruce sat on the council then too. You can't govern by polls and petitions, you have to take it to the voters. Until Lewiston residents muster a majority, all petitions will be pretty much ignored. There's no reason to bow to a petition if the people in office believe they have the majority of the voters is there? Next election, voters can clean house (if they want) and the new leaders can ignore petitions from the losers. Just politics in America. "

" Lewiston citizens have tried to prevent this from happening...can we say Petition? Yet they were ignored and continue to be ignored. What is the only thing the city of officials will understand? Legal action. Actions do have consequences. And the city officals continue to dig even a deeper hole for Lewiston. "

" If Dungy is as good as everyone says, he shouldn't have any trouble finding work. If he cares so much about the City why sue them? I can see wanting the week's pay he is owed, but the rest? The money doesn't come out of the pockets of the people he has the beef with. Because he sues doesn't mean he will get anything. Unfortunately he will probably get paid off because it might be cheaper to do that than fight it in court. It looks like Dungy has an attitude problem and is bucking heads with the council, who have an attitude problem. I think the Mayor was smart to give Dungy notice in front of everyone so there were witnesses to who said what. "

" I think the city is lucky that the dollar amount that Chief Dungy is asking for is so low. Could have been alot more. What are these clowns going to do next to rectify the budget through lawsuits. Aren't these fools getting any legal advice if so they aren't listening, "Schauble had previously told the Daily News the mayor was supposed to give Dungy the written termination notice — not read it aloud — at the Jan. 9 meeting." Another lawsuit in the works against LEE???? "

" Had enough yet Lewiston taxpayers? Well hang on people, it's about to get better. Your elected officials, in their dubious pursuit of whatever it is they are trying to prove up there, are about to spend YOUR hard earned dollars( the same dollars they didnt have enough of to provide you with basic law enforcement) on LEGAL FEES and an eventual SETTLEMENT. If there was no $$$ left in the budget for basic law enforcement, where the hell do you think the $$$'s to pay the lawyers and the eventual settlment is coming from? Yes, you guessed it, theyre taking it from YOUR pocket, your family will have to go with less because of their blatant misuse of power. How does that make you feel Lewiston taxpayers? "

Unbelievable, I hope Oliver was stating this in jest. "
