Whats that smell?

I don't know, but it could be Templeton politics. Just like fresh manua, it seems to get stronger by the week. After spending $5000. for 12 days of legal services in February, an old gent asked His Highness{the board chairman} what the bill for legal services, for the town, was for the month of March ? The answer was that  the BOS had not received a bill yet. The question was asked on April 23rd. No bill for services rendered in March ! SOMETHING SMELLS REAL BAD HERE. On calling the board chairman His Highness, someone in the audience asked him who appointed him king? Actually, no one did. The chairman appointed himself king. PHEW, I HAVE TO GO, THE SMELL IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY.

PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY

With bad government now running rampant in Templeton, who is to blame? In most societies, people choose people to run the business of the community. Some people don't get to choose. Tyrants take over on their own. Sometimes regular and decent folk become the tyrants. Such is the case here. The BOS is a virtual dictatorship run by three selectmen who are in over their heads. They are not qualified to run a dog pound. Do I blame them? No. It is not their fault. They are not qualified, thats all. The fault belongs to the voters who voted for these People. Also at fault are the voters who didn't bother to vote. An old gent told me this awhile back,[ Son,] he said, [You only get the government that you deserve.] PLEASE VOTE WISELY MAY 7. VOTE JULIE FARRELL FOR SELECTMAN

The Howdy Doody Show

Back in the 50,s there was a show on tv called the Howdy Doody Show. It reminds me how similar the BOS meetings are to that show. Howdy was a puppet that was manipulated by a person unseen. Howdy had friends also.One was Clarabell the clown. Every show has a clown., yes the Howdy Doody show and the BOS has its  similarity's. The only difference are there are no curtains and Clarabell had a horn.

WHAT COUNTRY IS THE TOWN OF TEMPLETON IN

I have been to a few BOS meetings, trying to figure out how it works. It definitely is not a democratic institution.  It might be a form of a republican system, but not a very good one. Some how it resembles the way fascism worked, or it may resemble the way Russia or China works. They have only one party, and towns have committee's with a chairman. The chairman is the absolute power. This is the way the selectman's board is functioning now, in the Town of Templeton. The chairman is in a role of dictator. Nothing is done without his approval. There is no democracy or intelligent discussion to arrive at the best possible solution for the good of the town. If Templeton was in Russia we would have no chance to correct this situation.  Thankfully Templeton is in the United States of America. On May 7th,. we can vote for Julie Farrell. This is just a step, in getting our voice back.
