Grafton Township website pettiness

Most visitors to what they believe is the website of Grafton Township might not immediately spot the problem, but here it is.

If you go to http://www.graftontownship.us/, you won't find a link to the Supervisor. On the homepage you'll see links for Assessor, Trustees, Clerk and Road District. So, does Grafton Township have a Supervisor? You'll see the Supervisor's name and phone number there, but no link to a webpage.

To find the Supervisor's page, you must "search" (ex., on Google) for "Grafton Township Supervisor". Then you'll find www.graftontownship.us/supervisor/supervisor.html

"Why?" you ask. It's all part of the petty game being played out (until the money runs out) between the Trustees and the Supervisor.

The Supervisor has her own website at http://www.graftontownship.net/ Be sure to distinguish .net from .us

I wonder whether any registered voter in Grafton Township has lambasted the originators (instigators?) of http://www.graftontownship.us/ for intentionally omitting the webpage for the Supervisor and questioned the unnecessary expense of maintaining two Township websites, neither of which acknowledges the other.
