Trying to put some pieces together


The following are some questions that I have about Templeton's past. Can someone, please fill me in....

...about the Dump:

Some people within the town of Templeton wanted to put in a dump site. Who and why?

Would this dump have been able to accept trash for not only from Templeton residents, but also accept trash from outside of the town?

The initial people who would profit from this creation of a dump would have been the land owner who sold the property to (whom? the town? Cassela?).

Others involved in making money from this venture would have been people hired to maintain this dump (Mr. Mullins as some kind of overseer and or the town itself?) and whom else?

What was promised to the town from Cassela in exchange for this dump site?

Cassela gave the town monies for the creation of a Landfill Enterprise Account?
Were there any other parties that contributed to this fund?

Some of that money in the Landfill Enterprise Account was somehow put into the Water Dept. funds? What did the Water dept have to do with the dump?

Did the money in the Landfill Enterprise Account need to be returned to Cassela? Would the town have been sued by Cassela if the money had not been returned?

...about Affordable Housing:

Does the town of Templeton need an Affordable Housing Director? Is there some kind of mandate from the State that demands one from each town?

What are the responsibilities of this Director?

...about the Light and Water department:

How were these two separate Enterprises joined into one?

What fund was used to make this union happen?

Was it more expensive in total for the townspeople to have these two separate Enterprises?

...about the Sewer Department:

Why were the Sewer commissioners not allowed to use their department funds to go after the monies owed to them by American Tissues of Massachusetts?

Who would have profited in any way by not going after monies owed to the town by American Tissues of Massachusetts?

If the Sewer dept was taken over by the town, would this lead the town to raise the pay of the Town Coordinator and their pension?

...about Gerald Skelton:

Did Mr. Skelton pay the town back for the money he received for being on the BOS before the recount found that he should not have been on that board?

Is he legally responsible to pay that money back to the town?

Did Mr. Skelton’s pension grow from being on the BOS during this time period?

If so, how much did it increase by?

If so, has that increase been reduced back to where it was prior to the election in 2011?

Did Mr. Skelton profit in any way from the building of the Sewer treatment plant?

I would appreciate answers to any or all of my questions. Why, you ask? Because I enjoy researching my surroundings.
Thank you for your help.
