Highlights for today;
According to the latest budget versus actual - expenditures, there are several funds/accounts over spent - that is they show up as in deficit. My thought is that those things should be caught by both a department head and the accountant and the accountant should not let things be paid that will result in a deficit. I believe it is in the law or the guidelines for a Town accountant.
Another highlight is the salary fund/account for Templeton dispatch - on the expenditure side, it shows a balance left of $6,933.19 left for the year. I hope that is enough to pay the employees through the end of the fiscal year June 30, 2017.
A post here under the name anonymous is signed " and thank you for all you do". That is the line at the end of every email I have ever seen and or received from Anne Gobi - Thanks for all you do.
Lets just say I do not believe in coincidences but perhaps someone has taken her line?
At last nights Advisory Committee meeting, there was a surprise attendee, newest selectmen Cameron Fortes. Wish he would have stayed until the meeting ended as there were a couple questions that he may have been able to answer. One thing he did comment on was that apparently the treasure/collector Kate Meyers is on some sort of administrative leave - as in home and getting paid with an option on the table to resign or not. Probably be July before the Town knows for sure.

I was glad to see Cameron at our meeting, and yes. It was too bad he did not stay. It is a start, so let's hope he will return. I went to the Women's March in Boston in January. The number of young people that attended was amazing. They are our future. I hope Cam can keep a open mind,and learn from the past so we do not repeat the distructive path we have been on for almost 20 years.
ReplyDeleteI glad to hear Cam went to the meeting. I was in NH doing some plumbing. I'll give him credit for putting in effort which is a good start. Can't fix something until you know whats broken.
ReplyDeleteThe town needs to function legally, properly and efficiently.
Is the budget v actual on the town's website if not can you post it here?
