Woody's Resignation as County Clerk Leaves Courthouse in tailspin

PLATTSBURG — Clinton County Clerk David Woody recently resigned, citing a new opportunity in the public sector. However, the sudden departure of his office staff this past week has left the Clerk’s Office scrambling to maintain operations.

Woody’s tenure had been marked by a series of administrative and financial issues. He came under significant scrutiny from the Missouri State Auditor's office due to serious payroll and tax management failures during his time in office.
