Ignorance is Bliss?

Fish Lake Township local election results are not available on the township’s website, nor have they ever been except once. For a township whose website purports to be “created as a public service for the residents of Fish Lake Township,” why have sample election ballots and local election results not been provided to the public? Neighboring townships such as Lent and Sunrise provide excellent website service to their residents not only by providing sample ballots prior to their local elections, but by promptly posting election results by the end of the next day. So why not Fish Lake Township whose clerk is paid in excess of $750 per month? Why the secrecy about informing the public prior to an election who will be appearing on the ballot? Why the secrecy that incumbent Boob Carter was re-elected to serve yet another term by defeating Tim O’Keefe 78 – 3 on March 9, 2010? Perhaps Fish Lake Township should instead proclaim their website was “created as a public service for some residents of Fish Lake Township.”
