Selectman Jeff Bennett's letter to the Gardner News

Third Grade math lesson for TGN  

After the BOS meeting on Monday, September 12, 2011 and an article in TGN on Monday, August 29, 2011, I believe it is time for the taxpayers of Templeton to consider some math questions. Page one and page 3 of Aug. 29 issue of TGN talks about legal costs for Templeton. Selectman Robert Columbus talks about a disservice to the taxpayers by changing town counsel. Consider that Templeton spent $34,814.96 on legal in fiscal year 2004. In FY 2005, town spent $89,810.89, 2006: $76,448.73, 2007: $74,306.47, 2008: $82,453.65, 2009: $86,504.95, and 2010: $82,308.88. In 2011, town spent $47,387.01 and encumbered $25,067.99 for anticipated additional legal expenses, which would bring 2011 spending to $72,455.00 if these anticipated legal costs play out. Since this money was budgeted for, could one assume the BOS anticipated spending this amount Now I may have had third grade math at little ole Templeton Center school, but I believe the numbers add up.

How stupid is the Gardner News

It seems The Gardner News only will  print one version of Templeton issues. Hey Carol - what happened to all my complaints? Why did you hand them all to the person I was complaining about instead of having the Selectmen handle them?  Hey Bob C. if you didn't know what was happening, why did you spend Monday, Sept. 26th call people to attend the Selectmen's meeting.

Seems The Gardner News can't even get the simple things right, the name is
     "Julie F A R R E L L" The Gardner News seems to think it's Julie Skelton. See Saturday, Sept. 30. Could we print a correction please?
