Jennifer Teising’s decision to sell her West Lafayette home, tell a host of prominent political players in the community that she was going to resign as Wabash Township trustee and move to Florida, and then spend all but 27 nights of the next nine months away in “a nomadic RV lifestyle” amounted to forfeiting her elected position, a Tippecanoe County judge ruled Wednesday.
