Good morning Mr. Bennett,
Thank you for your email.
Our office is not able to say whether or not a violation has occurred unless an Open Meeting Law complaint has first been filed with the public body. However, I am happy to answer any questions you have about the Open Meeting Law. Which aspect of the posting requirements do you think the Templeton Board of Selectmen violated?
Sincerely,
Kadie

Apparently, someone in the selectmen's office considered it a possible violation so they changed the meeting date to conform with the law, selectmen, you are welcome.
