HUNTLEY – Grafton Township officials are losing control of the township’s dire finances, even prompting Supervisor Linda Moore to call potentially illegal meetings to solve the financial crisis.

Moore convened a rare emergency meeting earlier this week to solve cash flow issues that she said threatened to shut down the township. But questions remain whether the meeting, which featured official votes, should have been conducted at all.

Moore had been authorized at a Feb. 20 meeting to pay the Grafton Township Road District back from a $300,000 loan made years ago for the defunct town hall project.
