from the face book of John Columbus:
Filibuster by the advisory committee.

As a member of the Templeton Advisory Committee, I can say there was no organized filibuster or delay tactic on the part of the Committee as a whole. What individual members do is on them, as they are still a resident of Templeton and a voter. Was selectmen Brooks acting as a selectmen or an individual? She did not come off the stage to speak on the floor, which the moderator informed Advisory Committee that if we wished to speak on recommendations, we could speak from our table but if we wished to act as a citizen, we needed to speak from the floor. The selectmen apparently did not get the same instructions or they ignored them. They have after all declared themselves "the superior board"
