Allen County Commissioners dismiss Child Services Board President

LIMA The Allen County Board of Commissioners moved to dismiss the President of the Allen County Children Services Board on Wednesday morning. All three commissioners voted to remove Nadia Lampton due to her conduct on social media, which was deemed inappropriate.
