It was entertaining to be at tonight's selectmen meeting and watch the superintendent of schools tell the members of the select board what motions had to be made, who had to sign documents and how the information would flow. I thought this was a town project with contracts between the town and other entities and I always thought it was the selectmen who dealt with this. They are after all, elected and they should not only be aware of these things, but they should be out in front of them. One other item was selectmen Brooks asked for central purchasing to be put on the agenda for the next meeting, which is kind of funny, as I tried to get that moving a couple of years back and she was pretty much silent on the matter. Now maybe we will see how much, if any, this will or can save the taxpayers, which is better late than never at all.
