An unsigned letter sent to residents of Eastport has brought the city manager and city councilors under fire after it revealed she was subject to a court martial when she served in the Army and that she declared bankruptcy after being dismissed from the military. City manager Kate Devonshire acknowledged the statements were true but defended her record despite her past mistakes. An unsigned letter mailed to more than 800 Eastport property owners on May 25 alleged that Devonshire “duped” the city council when she was hired in April 2021 by not disclosing her legal problems. The letter also alleged that Devonshire, who had no prior municipal management experience, is unresponsive to citizens, has done a bad job of managing the city’s finances and is proposing a significant tax hike to fund large increases in the city budget.
