Wednesday August 17th

Hello people of Templeton – The following letter on my blog is my opinion and my opinion only, and it is the truth. I was late for the beginning of the Selectmen’s meeting on Monday because of a ConCom meeting. 3 meetings set up for the same time (but is this a plan)

open letter to the building inspector

Dear Mr. Brandt,

Would you please let me in know writing what you are doing about the wind turbine that was installed by the Burdin’s in 2009? As you know this was done without their filing a building permit or going before the Planning Board as required by Templeton’s bylaws.

My whole issue with this is that Ms Burdin is one who continually tells those who go before the Conservation Commission, of which she is a member, “that there are rules and laws that must be followed”. Most recently she said this at a ConCom meeting to members of the Senior Center Oversite Committee.  Do the laws not apply to her? She says that her wind turbine was put up before zoning, I know for a fact it was not. What about a building permit? This is not the first thing that she has done things against the laws and by-laws. She built her house around 1990 without a building permit and without any frontage. In the spring of 2009 the Burdins put a big sign up and were selling landscape material without a sight plan assignment. They took the sign down when neighbors complained.  

I expect something to be done regarding Ms Burdin’s total disregard of the laws and bylaws of Templeton. Other taxpayers abide by Templeton’s laws and bylaws.  How does it this make the Town of Templeton look when a Conservation Commission member herself can’t seem to go through the proper channels and departments which are dictated by law. I am forwarding a letter to the Board of Selectmen because I also believe they should ask for her resignation from the Conservation Commission.

Thank you,

Paul

In my opinion (Selectman’s meeting Aug. 1st 2011

When then “pledge” ended I personally added to the end of the pledge, “justice for all” except P.H.C. Sr. To this day not ONE of my requests or complaints have been answered by the Board of Selectmen,”not one” I’m talking about new selectman and old selectman. I made a request on paper at an appointment hearing not to re-appoint a person and my request was ignored, not misplaced – ignored.

The 2003 ConCom money

August 3, 2011 The following is my opinion only-

In 2003 the Con-Comm voted to give JoAnn Burdin 1500+ dollars that was left in the allocated account from town meeting for the Conn Comm – this money was supposed to go back to the town but Andrews, Grimley, Hendricken decided to give it to Burdin for so called extra work as  a volunteer.

Monday, August 1, 2011 Did Templeton awake a sleeping giant?

To everyone concerned especially Templeton Taxpayers, In response to Selectman Robert Columbus’ comments in the Letter to the Editor, The Gardner News, Friday, July 29, 2011. I take great offense to your “hearsay complaints” against Bennett, Farrell and Mitchell, all on the Board of Selectmen.
