So what is up with this new technology? Perhaps what Templeton needs is backup and procedure rather than a larger Town administrative bureaucracy. The following is email from the Town Administrator and you decide if you think there should be some procedure or backup before admin growth. There is this new thing called the cloud, okay, not so new, but I tend to purposely be a bit behind with it because I do not like being dependent on it, which is why I still keep paper copies and still use the mail (snail) system. The latest budget document has been in the cloud for a while now, so why not the warrant draft which then could be accessed by any computer. No more excuses.

I will be sending copies of the preliminary warrant and the updated budget later today.  My computer has been down for two days; hoping it will be fixed this morning.

That is the facts and now you can decide.

PS:  The Advisory Board did receive the warrant, or part of it, today, via email at 10:36 A.M. Town by-law states the selectmen will hand over the budget and all articles for annual Town meeting to the Advisory Board by April 10th. Since April 10th fell on a Sunday, I cut em slack and would have been fine with Monday, April 11th. Add it to the list.
