Harrison town manager resigns
HARRISON – Town Manager Bradley Plante has given his resignation to the Board of Selectmen. His last day will be Sept. 17.
“I just need a break,” Plante said hours before Tuesday night's selectmen's meeting in which he briefly addressed the move that will take him to Tombstone, Ariz. He and his fiancée will help run the Tombstone Bordello Bed and Breakfast. The place used to be the watering hole for Doc Holliday and his common law wife “Big Nose” Kate.
The contract for Plante, who was hired three years ago, would have expired on June 30, 2011.
Plante said he has been in public service for almost 40 years beginning with serving in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. He earned a master's degree before working in politics in North Attleboro and later Rockland, Mass., where he served as town manager until 2007. He also served as a police officer and retired from active duty in the Air Force in 1993.
Plante said he hopes to do some writing and has promised his fiancée that he will not run out to the first city council meeting, once they settle in Arizona.
"I might join the historical commission or something,” he said.

Fractured Legislature.
It is clear to me that the only thing fractured in Agusta is the State Legislature.They have been working without supervision long enough to put the State deeply in the Red.It will take some strong supervision and fiscal disipline from LePage to de-fragment what the Liberals have done to the Fiscal House.

Once again
The Rumford Board of Selectmen prove themselves to be idiots. Free work, free upkeep, and free cosmetic improvements in an area that desperately needs it shot down because the majority can't get their heads out of their posteriors.
GOOD JOB!!! Sorry, Mr. Blampied, that you have to live in a place like this.

Public access from Sewall Street.?
What about allowing public access to the topside of the pile from Sewall St. and having the bottom part off limits to the public? Wouldn't take much more than putting the posts and cables back up so no one can drive on the pile and dump a bucket or two of sand up there once in a while.
