DISCUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED

In my own opinion, I was amazed at the turn out of our Peaceful Protest Tues AM at 690 Patriots

Rd against the hiring of Interim Coordinator. In my opinion again, the appointment was made by 3 people and 3 people only, and all us taxpayer had no say about it, see the video it was not even on the agenda to hire an interim coordinator, see the agenda for April 12, 2012, if this not against the bylaw of Templeton, and the constitution, what is? I filed a complaint with the Templeton Police about those 3 selectmen inciting a riot. I went to the courthouse with the written complaint, lets see what happens. Chief Whitaker stopped to talk to us at the protest, he in person informed me and the other at the protest that the police could not do anything about the inciting of a riot, I asked why not?
He said because no damage was done, like stuff being wrecked or other malicious damage, I said Chief, did you see the DVD? He said yes I did take your complaint to the courthouse, “end of story”. So as a layman I understand exactly what the Chief said in my own opinion, all 100 plus people at that dishonest, embarrassing, illegal, degrading selectmen meeting on April 12, 2012. When the item on the agenda came up they should have stopped the meeting with force, not the calm, honest, law abiding taxpayers, but after the majority of the of the selectmen illegally voted to re-appoint C.S. as interim coordinator should have in my opinion wrecked the whole cafeteria in protest of this illegal violent act by those three selectmen, who started the incite a riot. Again I say the agenda read to discuss a temp appointment for the town coordinator position, now if our appointed, bullied, harassed, threatened, run out of town previous coordinator was at that meeting, I don’t believe this illegal act would have happened. When Columbus first mentioned the name of the intended interim coordinator, the whole room full of us taxpayers, obstructed not just a hand full, but Columbus ignored our right to have representation on this issue. I am so @$&*#!& mad in layman terms my pen is writing this with mental telepathy of me of me, my hand is not even on the pen, pretty good huh, so lets get back to my opinion’s. The police with the cooperation of all us loyal taxpayers slow so the riot, but did not sto it, it is still going on this minute, but the law cant do anything about it, pretty good huh, now here this, is the law telling all us law abiding citizens that the only way to get the truth across is to be violent and join that riot started by 3 selectmen and wreck everything in sight including everything we own in sight, is that what the law is saying? And if you liberals are going to comment please think 1st, especially if you haven’t watched the DVD of that meeting, I honestly would like to see a comment from Jay on the DVD and if you people that does “not” know the definition of a dictator, “look it up” and I have had comments not to compare Syria or Lebanon or Iraq, or Iran to the United States, Why not? You are witness firsthand how those dictators got started, call me senile, call me stupid call me anything you want but do not call me “an ex-marine”, anti-American those would be fighting word’s and I will answer back with some interesting language. I hear what the low life’s are saying about Pauly’s Templeton Watch, one of the recall group’s family members stop at my house to personally thank me for what I’m doing, pretty good huh? Want a name, you will have your chance to meet her during my investigation on the wrong doings here in Templeton. Well your “not mine” new interim coordinator that was illegally voted into employment by 3 people out of thousands that said no, started her day at 8:22am and sneaked out the back “handicap” way at 3:02pm, wonder what her hours of temp employment are? Where is Kirk and his timeclock when its needed, but fear not people, Grimley was peeking out the window watching us when he was supposed to be working, who is in control of that office? I need an answer now, the selectmen were voted into office to protect our best interest, what happened? I’ll tell you what happened, all the silent people want to speak up but are afraid to because of the @$%* that has already happened, Tammy Coller, Sue Adams, Jeff Ritter, and many many more, I will as I said expose all the wrong doers in town. It is only 10am and I have had about 12 people come to my home that couldn’t make the protest because they had to work, asking what they can do to help, I realize a lot of people did not show, but I also know why, and shame on you people that could have joined us but didn’t, I guess the futer of the town and their taxes are not that important, in my opinion of course. I was asked why I didn’t go into the shade, my reply was I am not afraid to face anything, not even the sun, and Hoo-Boy what a sunburn I got for not taking her advice, but that’s me, right O’Brien? Stupid oops wrong word. I must go to the court house for an important session, will continue blogging later, in my opinion of course if anything else comes about I will inform the taxpayers. Did everyone see the Gardner News today 4-18-2012 page 4 Carol is so original with her photo, and again the budget is just about done and town meeting is ready and a lot of other stuff, so what is she talking about. Is she going to donate her time for services nothing was done to plan for an interim coordinator. Like selectman Bennett says about her hours, how is she going to get paid, was the job posted in house or advertised, what-what-what—“quote Carol” he could be sued unquote she told me and others about being sued that so many times, my brother is Jacksonville, Florida got scared, How’s that for getting people in another state scared of being sued. In Fact Carol preached getting sued so many times that she did it again to us Templeton Taxpayer’s, a few months ago to prove to us she knew what she is talking about and now Columbus, Wilder, Mullins voted illegally to hire her with no questions asked, no sanctions against Carol so she can’t Sue us again or anything of that nature, How come? That makes me want to talk to Jeff Ritter, those 3 selectmen are in trouble and they think it is a big joke. I am still looking for answers, from anyone in the world, not just in the embarrassing town of Templeton, please respond E

Example #1

How can a board of Selectmen post an agenda 48 hours before the meeting and put on the agenda discuss an open meeting violation compliant filed by Selectman Jeff Bennett on March 30, 2012 see the DVD of April 12, 2012 get it, discuss which they did discuss it.



Example #2

Act on quotes for generator installation for the MEMA office, big bucks who cares which they did act on it.

Example #3

Discuss and act on Temporary replacement for Fire Chief, which they did act on it, and voted to appoint a Temp Fire Chief after a brief argument, it was final with not much fuss—so far so good.

Example #4

Discuss letter to USDA regarding contract for town of Templeton remember Columbus and Wilder and Chris Steward and Jeff Bennett discussing that letter in my opinion wasted out time because of Bob Columbus spitting and sputtering trying to answer questions, remember that people we all remember that discussion very well, Because of the stumbling and bungling of Columbus and Wilder, do you all remember?

Example #5

Now this is a very important issue to all us taxpayers aqnd the law as in procedure, ethical issues, honesty issues and Police issues, Bob Columbus said we are not going to discuss get it NOT GOING to discuss this issue any more, otherwords no more discussion on the issue of Temp appointment for Town Coordinator the crowd got whispering about the Boards behavior on that issue when Columbus tapped the gavel and said now I want a motion to appoint Carol Skelton to the position of Temp Interim Coordinator. The agenda said discuss the issue. Not vote on the coordinator issue, did Columbus pull a sneak attack on us taxpayers it was illegal and we can’t do anything about it, or can we? Respond please. This action from Columbus started the and “quote” enciting of the riot, but with respect for the three policemen attending the meeting they quieted them down. The three police were there for a reason. They were given a heads up about the s*$@ , yes s*$@, that was going to happen when that issue was brought up these cops are not dummies and neither are us taxpayers dummies. They were following orders form their chief and they did a good honorable job. For the town of Templeton and quelled any violence that might erupt. But when Jeff Bennett spoke against the Appt for Skelton, and then Chris Stewart denounced the motion Columbus didn’t care or even pause and said we are going to take a vote and they did take a vote Mullins – yes, Wilder-yes, Bennett(loudly) no, Chris Steward with hand in front of his face and said sadly no. Then Columbus without respect for our taxpayers or the rest of the town and answered “and I vote yes” that is when those 3 people ensited that riot, now Chief Witacker said that it was not a riot because nothing was broken or wrecked as in riot, the crowd booed him out of sound. He and Virginia Wilder ordered the police to remove everyone, those, those, and them and her “Penny” and a 90 yr old woman and her husband that did not do anything, also a Vietnam Veteran was thrown out for just wanting a question answered, the 3 selectmen were escorted to there cars. By the police, do you people wonder why? I am doing this letter for the benefit of the people that don’t have the $5.00 for a DVD or can’t watch it on Chanel 8 and to the people that doesn’t ”dig” the computer and call someone that does, you can get a lot of info at the Council on Aging at Scout Hall in East Templeton or call me and I will mail you a copy, help is always out there, you just have to ask and you don’t have to sell the ranch to get the help you want, vote Julie Farrell, and be sure to use a written in for Town Moderator David Bergeon, we got to him to late to get on the ballot but he is more than qualified for the job, he has done it before, and then retired, but came out of retirement to help us tax payers in this vote May 7th . We will get stickers for the ballot for the write in for Dave Bergeron.

Thank you for reading my opinion

  1. The taxpayers of Templeton should know that town accountant Scott Sawyer has tendered his resignation, effective June 30, 2012. I have not yet spoken with Scott, so I will not put words in his mouth, but afer carol skelton has been back two days, Scott gives his resignation, I wonder if three months with Jeff Ritter made him realize what working with a professional and intelligent person was like that he decided even $44,000.00 per year was simply not worth putting up with columbus and skelton any longer. Again, I have not yet spoke with Scott Sawyer and our personal difference aside, sometime last year I told Scott to his face that if I found any wrong doings on his part, I would see him in jail. We both reported that incident to Templeton Police Chief David Whitaker and the chief told me he made a record in a book about it. Scott and I both told the same story to the chief ( that is what Chief Whitaker told me when we spoke on this issue) I wonder and I can only assume (which is bad) but after two days of carol skelton back and with dealing with bob columbus on a one on one situation, perhaps Scott decided this BS is not worth it. Templeton will miss Jeff Ritter even more as the days pass by. I intend to call Scott and ask why, I do not expect an answer but I will try and I will ask Scott for an honest between him, me and the wall answer to the question of why did you resign. That will be an answer I will not be able to share if he gives me an honest answer, but you the taxpayers can write or e-mail Scott your self, and you can always aske bob columbus or carol skelton why Mr. Sawyer left, and lots of luck with that. I don't expect Scott to elaborate to much to taxpayers as he is a licensed professional and he has other clients and future business to look for, so expect a professional answer, such as time to move on or a professional decision. Please find time on a Wednesday to say thank you and wish him well. Try to represent Templeton in an honerable fashion, even as your selectmen fail to do so. As Templeton residents and taxpayers, please show some class and respect that your elected representatives fail to be able or unwilling to do. Maybe we have to hit rock bottom and lose all the able, respected and professional good employees we have before we begin to move in the upward direction once again. It is my privilege to serve you just as it is your privilege to fire me. Time for the residents and Taxpayers to take back their town and show us elected officials who is boss!! What ever decision you make I support because the only side I am on is that of the taxpayers, all of the taxpayers, whether you voted for me or not. Respectfully; Jeffrey Bennett

  2. As a stupid employee, I have been looking for another job as well. I think you may see some folks moving on, this is just all very stressful, and as I stated before, the morale of the employees is just not there, there is no morale and all because of a few folks that want to be in control. Word on the street is now that chair wants to cause trouble with the new senior center, what is it, Skelton gets in and now there is an issue because they didn’t get their funding for the their building or have to do more testing, shame on them. Don’t they have any pride in their community, it would appear not? The sooner I am out of hear the better, it all just turns my stomach, but what am I but just a stupid employee.

    1. Please try to hang on, just for a little while. Do your job and try to ignore all this other crap. I know hard it is for you and the others that are abused and belittled. You guys have to try to get through this. There will be a end, even if it does not come soon enough. You need to know we are there for you. JS is just trying to deflect attention away from his Bald. Rd. project. People need to ignore this man. He is the one responsable for all the problems we have. Templeton is a big business. The people that run it have to be accountable to everyone. Gladys fired CS the first time because she was incompetent. These people have used and abused their friends. I hope they all get a clear picture and can see the forest thru the trees.
