Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
ETNA GREEN - The town of Etna Green needs a new clerk-treasurer as Barbara Wagoner resigned Monday, effective immediately.
Kosciusko County Republican Party Central Committee Chairman Mike Ragan said Tuesday Wagoner quit a week ago, but withdrew her resignation a few hours later. Then on Monday, he said she told him she quit immediately.
An attempt to reach Wagoner on Tuesday was unsuccessful.
Wagoner was appointed by Ragan May 22 to be the new Etna Green clerk-treasurer, effective June 1. That appointment came after Patti Cook resigned from the position, effective May 31, citing work conditions. Cook had served as clerk-treasurer since January 2019.
Wagoner was one of two people who had filed for the position, with the other being Candice Smith.
The position is Ragan’s to appoint as there is only one precinct committee person for a caucus.
The Etna Green clerk-treasurer vacancy will be filled on Tuesday, July 15 at the Kosciusko County Clerk’s office at 2 p.m. The filing deadline is 2 p.m. Saturday, July 12.
Eligible applicants must be residents of the town of Etna Green and Republicans in good standing.
Declarations of candidacy and statements of economic interests will be available at the Kosciusko County Clerk of the Circuit Court office, 121 N. Lake St., Warsaw. They must be notarized and filed with Ragan no later than 72 hours before the appointment.
Ragan’s phone number is 574-265-1430.
