Town of Kinderhook, your web page stinks!!!

I heard at one time in my life that town web sites were geared towards "open" government and keeping people informed.

Someone should convey that message to the town of Kinderhook, NY.
As of this morning, August 27, 2014, the page entitled "Town Board Meeting Minutes" looks like this:

That is how we are kept informed!!!  This is a town with no radio or TV or paper. (Oh, they do say our legal paper is the Hudson Register Star)

The town has a planning board. As of today, its page looks like this;
