Clay Township Treasurer Jerry Galka has stepped down, ending a year marked by financial confusion and tension on the board. Galka cited health, family obligations, and stress from disputes with employees and residents. Elected last year, he struggled to reconcile township accounts, leading to the hiring of a $12,000 outside firm. Public clashes, including a walkout during a township meeting, heightened local scrutiny. A special board meeting was held Friday to address Galka’s resignation and name a new treasurer.
