Recall election and the corporation

Okay, lets hold the phone, the selectmen, coordinator, town clerk and constable all dropped the ball in one way shape or form. The election will happen barring court intervention. So I hope all the recall folks including bob Columbus calm down. If Bobby had ben on the ball he would have caught this and brought it to our attention, our town clerk could have called asking where is the information for the election. All selectmen get to sign the warrant, they are selectmen until they not, voted out or step down. So lets chill and step back for a moment, because I believe everyone wants this over and done with. By the way bob Columbus, this is not criminal so the police really caint do much but nice of you to waste 45 minutes of  Chief of police time.
Now on to bigger things. 

What is the objective of the recall? What is the end result they are looking for? More experienced and better qualified selectmen? Are they merely looking to change the makeup of the BOS to simply have a different majority and if so, what is the reason for that? By they, I mean the corporation, Let the People Speak inc, located at 245 Hubbardston road, home to Steve and Darlene Brehio. Check secretary of state website for registration info. Is it the intention of some to bring back old vendors and former employees? What would this accomplish and would this be a step forwards or backwards? Honestly, does anyone think that bringing back K&P and Carol Skelton will equate to all challenges and difficulties in Templeton being fixed? My question is who was in charge while we got to this point? Town buildings not being taken care of properly. A lot of major equipment of the town in poor condition. Town stabilization and free cash practically nonexistent. Do we want to go back to where we were not allowed to see the qualifications of the people we employ? Do residents want to let their town be taken over by a corporation? Do you want a corporation to speak for you? I believe we elect people to do a job that we as citizens don’t want to deal with or that we say we do not have time for. Look at attendance levels at town meetings. My question is what will the corporation do at the next election in May, prop up their next candidate that meets their criteria and run a campaign to get them into office to do the bidding of the corporation? Why not let Julie Farrell and Bob Mitchell finish the job you elected them to do?
