  1. Jeff,

    I have not checked the accuracy of your reporting on the withdrawals and deposits into the Stabilization Account, but if they are accurate it brings up many questions to me.

    Looking at the DLS websites databank regarding Templeton Stabilization account I guess you could say............."the numbers dont add up". Something appears to be MIA from the equation.

    from 2012 to 2016 our balances look like this:

    2012-326,418
    2013-125,817
    2014-125,818
    2015-152,548
    2016-153,099


    This particular account truly needs be reviewed and answers need to be found.
