I have to respond to the blog, Override Will Likely Be Called For In Templeton. This afternoon I was thinking about the mess the town is in. Believe it or not, I was in Sturbridge with my friend shopping, when it hit me. So when I got home I sat down to check, to see if what I thought I had read was right. I'll be dammed, but I was right. Concerned citizen 47,8/28 wrote "We have more people than ever before looking at the budgets. Most people that I have talked to didn't know they could, until this was brought to light". You know I really want every one to read this and think about what we just went through.

We need to pass an override in Templeton

To the Editor: 8/30/2013

Lori Mattson Templeton To the Editor: I would like to thank the voting members of Phillipston and Templeton for advocating, supporting and eventually passing the Narragansett Regional School District’s FY14 budget. Although it was a very long, drawn out process, proving stressful for everyone involved, it was a legal process that the School Committee had the right to choose. There was no hidden agenda, no malicious plans and no schemes. Doing what’s best and just for the students attending NRSD is what’s right. It is unfortunate the town of Templeton is so far off on finances and priorities. The joint town meeting was eye opening as both a selectmen and a finance committee member from Phillipston proudly made statements supporting education for all students. It was touching to hear one Phillipston resident state that she was torn as to how she would vote knowing that her yes vote could negatively impact so many Templeton residents.
