Worth Township Moves to Recover Funds

After a short police delay, the Worth Township Board pushed forward with a tense special meeting Wednesday night. Supervisor Walt Badgerow led the session, naming Karen Ellis as acting secretary with key officials still missing. Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff and Clerk Jennifer Marshall remain under fire after an audit accused both of gross negligence and misuse of township funds. The board moved to recover more than $90,000 in losses and add new safeguards, including more security cameras and police escorts for deposits.
