Moderator: Asked for all in favor to please stand. (“Green Shirts” hold up cards to direct voting in favor of moving the agenda item.) Asked for all opposed to please stand….. announces that the motion is carried.
(Someone, again, shouts for ROLL CALL. Moderator says that there were clearly more than 1/2 in favor and there is no need for roll call.)

Moderator: Move into discussion of potential actions of Item #11 which is now #1.
Mr. Kurns: Reads his motion - To accept the resolution by the GraftonT ownship Road District and his attorney, dated February 26th, 2010 which unwinds the Grafton Township Road District – Grafton Township real property transaction that was unlawfully executed and to exercise the buy-back from the Lake in the Hills, Haligus Road real property as stated in the original agreement from the purchase of that property on January 22nd, 2009 which gives Lake in the Hills the right to re-purchase the property from Grafton Township.
Motion was 1st and 2nd, up for discussion.

Moderator: calls on Mr Cohan to speak about what it means to unwind the purchase of property.
Mr Cohan: Gives legal description of resolution.

**I must point out that Mr Kurns, who is a Linda Moore supporter, is a close relative of the moderator, Jim Kurns. So how can the moderator be impartial???**

*Notice, that the majority of Linda Moore’s supporters are sitting on the right side of the room and that the moderator is partial to them. You’ll see that this is true because he rarely looks in the other direction and rarely recognizes them when they wish to speak.
*You will also notice that there are no standing, numbered, microphones so people can line up to speak. Instead there are “runners” that will go to your location. The problem with this method is that not everyone gets to speak…especially when you have an impartial moderator.
*Voting by standing majority is in-ethical. This method simply cannot work. Remember that anyone can come to these meetings. People in the township, outside of the township; people from another state even; registered and non-registered voters…. Votes can easily be stacked and is unlawful.
