Montachusett Regional Transit Authority or MART. You know what MART does?
Council-On-Aging (COA) Transportation ‘MART’ provides Council-On-Aging transportation services throughout our ‘MART’ member communities for elderly. That is correct, in Templeton, MART provides reimbursement to the town for MART van drivers, dispatch etc. MART does not pay the salary of a Senior Service Director.
You know what old wiring at Library has to do with highway dept. getting additional trucks/ Absolutely nothing, in fact, there are ARPA funds for 2 highway trucks at $194,000.00 each. Library wiring and highway trucks in same sentence, not hardly. In fact, if anyone talking about those subjects took the time to look, July 2024 finance report shows there is Library gift expense of $260,000.00 sitting there. Any "guard rails" on gift would need to be checked, but, that is potential money for library improvements. Two different funding sources so why would anyone try to mix the two. That would indicate they have no clue on what they might be talking about.
Templeton Senior Center is not underutilized, it is underfunded!
