Looking at the warrant for the next special town meeting, I hope the article for water dept. loan and or grant is correct and legal. I hope the selectmen have sent this the the Town bond counsel and are not relying on the light & water commissioners and their legal counsel. The taxpayers of Templeton are on the hook for this loan, regardless of who it is for or for what. Why do you think it has to go to town meeting?

One other article on this warrant has to be re-voted because the selectmen did not send it to the Templeton Bond counsel, rather they took the word of the school district. We should not make the same mistake twice. Recall the two special town meetings ij July, 2015?  They did not check and ended up having 2 meetings rather than one, and what was the cost of that?

Just ensure it is legal and proper for a department to borrow money on behalf of the town rather than the town treasurer.

Just try real hard to get it correct the first time.
