Bridgeport Township Government Lack Of Transparency?

I posted this on Carla Citizen's Facebook page several days ago but I  know that not everyone uses social media sites like Facebook so I will share this here also.  If you were to look at the township government website you would never know that the formerly recalled township clerk Lee Carpenter is back as the township clerk again. I would consider that a serious lack of transparency considering the history of him being recalled by the voters.  As of late Monday evening, June 10th, he is still not listed on their website even though they did at least one other update of adding a truck for sale to their homepage, and moving the Dixie Highway project notice back onto the front page.  Is it safe to assume that 69 days now after his hiring that they have no intention at this point of listing him on their website?  Is it unreasonable at this point to wonder if they are intentionally trying to deceive the Bridgeport residents?

From my June 8th Facebook post:

June 8th, 2019 update on the Township Clerk position listed on the Bridgeport Township Government website, or should I say lack of the position listed on their website. On April 2nd, 2019 Bridgeport voted to hire Lee Carpenter back as the Township Clerk, even though he had been recalled from that position in 2011 by the voters. There was never any official announcement of his hiring to replace the retiring clerk. On May 7th, over 1 month after his hiring, they still had the retired clerk listed on their website. On May 8th there was no longer a page on their website for the township clerk position. It is June 8th and there are pages there for the Manager, Supervisor, etc... but still not one for the clerk. So Strange 🤔 Wonder if they will ever put a page back up for the township clerk?
