Grafton Township Announces Intent to Violate to Open Meetings Act

Here it is, right on the official Grafton Township web site:

Announcement about excluding the non-voting public from the Grafton Township Annual Meeting, as of 12:45 PM on Friday, March 12th. Click to enlarge.

Only registered voters may attend (and press), you will need to show some form of ID and your name will be matched to our County voters registration roles.”  (Emphasis added.)

Ancel Glick attorney Robert Bush

Guess whoever made the decision to put that up on the web site didn’t have an adequate understanding of the requirements of the Open Meetings Act.

Last night at the regular Grafton Township Board meeting, Ancel Glick partner Rob Bush disabused the trustees of any notion that they might be able to keep the non-registered public out:

“It is a public meeting so anyone who wants to come can come.”

Guess it’s time to change the web site.

Maybe it will be changed by the time you read this.
