Michigan: Three Rives Township Treasurer resigns after petitions approved

Rives Township Treasurer Janina Teske resigned after petitions were approved against her and Trustees Christine Beecher and Bryce Hammond.  Teske was facing a recall effort over claims of misappropriating funds. The board called for Teske to pay back $10,000 over compensation for filing construction permits. She is being replaced as Treasurer by Joseph Yang, who seemed to have been the leader in the recall effort.

 The petitions against Beecher and Hammond focused on the resignation of the clerk, resulting in several failed votes for a new clerk and some budget votes.
