Grafton awaits state action on charter revision proposal
City officials in Grafton await action by State Attorney General Chauncey Browning on a charter revision plan. The proposal, prepared by the Charter Revision Board, would elect a mayor separately, elect council members from four wards, and shrink the council from eight to five with a four year term. The state review could require changes before another public hearing and voter consideration.
