This is better than Dana and the boys giving the Town the middle finger. That stupid work they did, digging up streets around the low-rent Baldwinville apartments wasn't to benefit anyone but themselves.
ReplyDeleteWill water and sewer also be assessed fees?
Will Selectmen simply add this new windfall to the budget? Or will they reduce the property tax accordingly? Just simply spending every available nickel isn't a good policy.
I think this is a much better way to handle a PILOT arrangement then the way its been done in town for years.
ReplyDeleteI belive it will only be the light dept because not everyone has water or sewer.
ReplyDeleteDana is neighbors with John Caplis.

John Caplis + Chris Casavant = Kevin Paicos = James Ryan
ReplyDeleteWhat about the $484 that Caplis and LeClerc stole from the taxpayers? Was the ever recovered?
ReplyDeleteCaplis has his challenges at this moment. I'm sure he will write an IOU to the Town of Templeton.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear that egotistical Leclerc on WGAW I'm reminded of his unpaid building permit. Never buy anything from his make-believe "farm". He's got a lot of nerve.
