I am pretty sure the Town's legislative body can demand the style of budget presented and they can ask for a line by line review if they so wish. Regarding the amount of detail in an expense sheet seems like less information to the people paying the bills resulting in less transparency and honesty in government. If the people let this slide, they get what they deserve. People should demand a transparent line by line explanation of the spending of their money. If they do not get it, vote them out. That is my opinion and I will be looking for the details of what Town meeting can demand and I think it is time for a written newsletter to be sent to the people of Templeton.
