What you may not know; Templeton Town Administrator has on his resume that he taught graduate level courses in public budgeting and public finance and undergraduate courses in state and local government. Not a dumb guy so how did the selectmen end up in a conference huddle at Town meeting over a five dollar question?

Solution/suggestion: spend less time on face book and more time going over the budget in open meeting, line by line and perhaps these questions would come up there rather than at Town meeting with the Town Accountant scrambling for a solution to a $5.00 question. Hopefully the current chairman of the select board will not be tossing people from the meeting for pointing things out.
