While Robert Markel was Town Administrator, Templeton hired a new police chief, long time Templeton employee Mike Bennett, Templeton appointed new Treasurer/Collector - long time Templeton employee Kate Meyers, new Council on Aging director - long time Templeton employee Dianna Morrison, Health Agent, former Templeton employee from the Templeton Board of Health, new accountant who by her own admission, is still learning the job while being paid over 65 thousand per year, a new building inspector not formerly employed by Templeton. What all of this shows is majority of "new" department heads were already here and were not attracted by any new policies or pay. Apparently they like working for Templeton and/or, they like having a job with good benefits. Perhaps in his letter to the editor, Robert Markel was trying to show he did a job for which he was paid 1000 dollars per week (part time). He is the same person who touted that Templeton had $750,000.00 in certified free cash coming, until after the school vote, then we suddenly have a deficit of 850 thousand to one million dollars. Was that by design?
