Signed Town Meeting warrant (signed by selectmen)

5 selectmen @ $500.00 each = $2500.00.
FY2020 budget had $2500.00 under Town Clerk, for voter's post cards for elections, annual Town Meeting, Special Town Meeting; That money or dollar figure was moved under selectmen / personnel for stipends for selectmen. So, the selectmen think it is more important for them to receive pay than for voters to receive information about elections and Town Meeting! Isn't that nice?
Selectmen put themselves before residents/taxpayers!
As a point of clarification, under proposed salary for selectmen, it does not state "each" however, moving $2500.00 to selectmen operating budget causes me to conclude it will be $500.00 per year for each selectmen. Unless, that is an example of more "padding" by the administrator?
Note: In the latest electronic copy of the FY2020 spending plan, under selectmen / code 120/ 5100 - personnel, there is now a line item for stipends @ $2500.00.
