It is time for a change!

By attending all 8 district reorganization meetings, I have first hand knowledge of how things went. It was not a formal committee, there was no chair, vice chair or clerk. Someone did keep a record of sorts of what was discussed. For instance, nothing was really voted on. If you watch (ed) the meeting with the presentation, those items were a result of general discussion. The dollar figure presented as a possible savings comes from the school and needs to be checked further.
Again, Templeton voters were told, when they voted the $47 million dollars, that their students ( pre -K, kindergarten and grades 1 thru 5 would attend the new elementary school with Phillipston grades 1 thru 5 attending the Phillipston elementary school. I think it is time to follow through on what was told / promised to the voters.
Again, the insight of how, what and why with regards to the district reorganization committee was gained by actually attending the meetings I said I would attend. That is a difference between myself and Julie Richards. I recall when she first ran 3 years ago, one of her talking points was "she gets things done." So, when Julie Richards volunteers to be a selectmen representative on a committee but never shows up, is that getting things done? Two people volunteer for something, one person attends all of the meetings, the other never shows up. Who would you want representing you?


Please vote Jeff Bennett for Selectmen
