Thank You to Templeton resident Robert May, he came to town meeting informed and prepared. That is how the legislative body needs to be when assembling for town meeting.
Thank You to those who attended.
A written report from advisory committee explaining each article with the pros and cons of each article would be helpful. Advisory budget has $760.00 in it for office supplies. A report does not have to be fancy and can be had for less than 100 bucks.
Bob. May did a super job. I appreciate the effort he put into the effort he took to make sure residents can vote on where their money is spent. Bev. Bartolomeo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev and back at ya. Mr Rivard is making a habit of yelling at taxpayers whether at a regular meeting or a Town Meeting. Might be a little of that Old Superior Board moving in.....
DeleteI have been on the Advisory Committee at least twice over the years. I cannot conceive of any reason this group would need that amount of money in their account. Is it a hiding place ? Lol, you can't make this stuff up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff, I just wish more people made thier voices heard. 59 people is to few when somewhere around 20+ work for the Town.
ReplyDeleteOnly 30 or so non town employees just spent something like $5,000,000. That's what motivated me to suggest amendments that conserve any cash we have and require more detail, direction in each article so the taxpayers intent is clear.
Maybe we'll get a better turn out at the Annual Town Meeting when they are asking for an Override, to cover regular town expenses.
