 Templeton town bylaw, put forward to town meeting by select board, recommended by advisory committee and voted on by town meeting. Why not just follow the rule?

§ 9-6
Meetings.
The Advisory Committee shall meet jointly with the Select Board whenever there is a request to consider adjusting spending limits on any revolving fund, any end of year financial transfer or any request of transfer from the Town reserve fund.
stated at a meeting of selectmen on June 28, 2023;"this is a waste of time" regarding the bylaw on joint meeting for reserve fund transfer.
If that is the thought, why recommend for the bylaw in the first place? Keep the bylaw, replace some people who violated the bylaw multiple times (documented by public records)

  1. Maybe thats what we need as a new bylaw:

    Anyone who violates a present, active town bylaw will be removed from the Board/Committee/Commission immediately and banned from town appointments for 3 years

  2. I was just sitting here relaxing and thought, man, maybe any committee or Board member that violates State Ethics should be required to wear a Blue Vest with a symbol on the lapel denoting the community that they violated.
    Very similar to the ones worn by the same folks now......

    Anyways, maybe another puff and this will all seem like a bad dream...........

    Why is the last part of the by law being removed? It should not be! Diane Haley.
