An Act Relative to Request a review by the Attorney General into the Following Incidents in the Town of Templeton.

A review with written recommendations into the activities of the Municipal Building Committee to include all transactions regarding the purchase of the 252 Baldwinville Road property and the USDA loan application process.

A review with written recommendations into the procedures and activities to allow the settlement and return of a gift of $369,681.40 to Casella Waste Systems on November 13, 2008.

A review with written recommendations into the activities and actions of the Templeton Board of Selectmen and the Templeton Light Department to enact Chapter 93 Acts of 2000.

Please support this article at town meeting. Successful passage of this article will resolve many of the underlying problems of the town and how it operates. 

Just as the DOR review provided the town with a blueprint for improving  town government, a review of these incidents by the Attorney General will provide additional ways to improve town government.

  3. As we now have a change in guards that passed over this we still have a opportunity to have our new reps and Attorney General take a look and see what the reason for the people to not get the attention we should. A quick look at the documents provided on this and other web sites are proof of the wrongdoings. Will the meeting be stacked and this not supported ? Time will tell if Templeton gets a fair shake or reverts back to the swindles of yesteryears. Don't let Templeton get short changed and ignored over the past leaderships failures who were involved in these issues.

  4. you probably know by now this went down in smoke, unfortunately. a advisory board member said it's time to end what has divided the town for a long time. this was the best way to accomplish that. those that are "sure" that underhanded tactics were used will end the fight if it is investigated and NO problems are found. the people that feel all was all above board will do likewise if problems are found and the guilty pay. the division goes on!!!!!
