 Tired of water main breaks, tired of bad roads, tired of no sidewalks, tired of water coming onto your property? Look to Templeton town administrator who wants more discretionary money while putting less money into stabilization funds designed to help pay for drainage, sidewalks, upkeep of town builds (that you own) replacement of town vehicles and water main replacement. The town administrator first choice is to have more money to fund his projects and less money to serve the people, as in the residents. Selectman Richard wants citizen input at selectmen meetings to move to the end of the meetings rather than the first part of meetings. Thes things demonstrate where the priorities of your representatives are, them first and you last. The only real way we residents have to counter this action is to go to town meeting and deny these financial requests. Town meeting does not have to vote in favor of one item on warrant of a town meeting. Town meeting can vote to pass over any item, including a town budget and tell selectmen to bring back a better one. It is the only way to hold them accountable for all of their actions or lack thereof. You must attend town meeting to have a say!
