Capital Planning Committee to have it's second meeting this year! Second meeting? That committee has a quorum for the first time in a very long time and the chairman, who is selectmen Doug Morrisson has only called for two meetings? This special Town meeting has been talked about since back in April, during and after the audit reports. Does not seem like much planning going on, at least in the public view, so much for transparency in government. I am talking about the here and now. No required reports of the accountant and treasurer, as required by law, why not? This is the board that said we will be transparent, we have a competent financial team, we have stability. When you consider that you do not need an audit to report cash flow, there is no excuse for not having a report from the treasurer and accountant. Money is voted at Town Meeting, it is spent on debt, salries and bills. There is no reason to not being able to report that. Again, this is not the past, this is now and there was no reason to not have that information in the 2016 Templeton Annual Town Report!

In the words of Bernard Heaney, "the time is NOW" for these things to happen!
