!!!!!!PLEASE SHARE!!!!!!
WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
Over 1,000 of you have signed the petition. As we continue on the next few days, EVERY SIGNATURE COUNTS.
We have MET WELL BEYOND the State's minimum requirements, but to meet the City's requirement, we need YOUR SIGNATURE.
This is about Community and bring it together by making the necessary changes to have TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND PUTTING ELLSWORTH FIRST, NOT NON PROFITS.
Ask yourself this:
If we insist on giving taxpayer funds-shouldn't the Chamber of Commerce in Ellsworth be getting more funds than just a non-profit that only caters to certain businesses? Isn't it better to support the ENTIRE ELLSWORTH BUSINESS COMMUNITY? Shouldn't we be giving to the Emmaus Shelter, who has been a long time staple of our City? How about the Rotary? They just fundraised to take care of City property that needed it.
Instead, Non-Profits associated with the sitting 5 City Counselors all got payouts- when really there should be none until our infrastructure is maintained, our current parks are taken care of, our residents are put first.
PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. We keep getting told that our City is growing at a "substantial rate". That is not true. Numbers don't lie. Roughly 505 people in 5 years is not that big of an amount.
We have had an immense amount of turnover. Especially in our Financial Department. Why is that? I can tell you why when examining the budget and anyone that can add and subtract can tell you. THINGS ARE NOT ADDING UP!
We have done the research. These are FACTS. Stop being gaslit because someone wants to make Ellsworth into Bar Harbor.
REMEMBER-THIS PROCESS JUST BRINGS IT TO A YES OR NO VOTE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.
