The upcoming fiscal year (FY2017) Templeton portion of chapter 90 (road) monies is $335,950.00. This information came to me via an email from state senator Gobi.

According to the latest budget versus actual from Templeton Town accountant, last years portion was $338,351.00 with $394,300.93 having been spent. The BVA shows a deficit of $55,949.93. I suggest you attend a selectmen meeting and ask the members of the board about that.

On another note, it was nice to see the Templeton highway dept. spending time and resources on sweeping sand up when they will most likely be putting more sand down this weekend and next week as winter and snow refuse to leave us. A wise spending of taxpayer money, again.

 Some local information for Templeton taxpayers;

If you look at the table, you see a curious thing, more money spent on a project than what was appropriated. This is just one more example why I always fought to have one entity overseeing this project, the board of selectmen. Taxpayers do not need nor should they be asked to keep up with multiple entities for a Town building project.

List of Projects for the District are as follows:

School name	MSBAID	Project Type	Project Phase	Total Project Budget	Reimbursement Rate	Estimated Building Completion Date	MSBA Amt Paid(to Date)	Estimated MSBA Payment Amt Remaining	Anticipated MSBA Investment Amt
