Commissioners face resignations over Child Welfare Board rift
Irvin Quick and Len B. McCune quit the Athens County Child Welfare Board citing the commissioners' lack of action on the Children's Home project. Quick said he may work outside the board to push reforms as a meeting with a judge's citizens committee nears. The panel previously urged remodeling an abandoned school into living quarters, a plan opposed by the Welfare Board.
