CEO of nonprofit panel fired after financial controversy
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS - The nonprofit group for county boards that serve Ohioans with developmental disabilities has dismissed its chief executive over ties between the association and the CEO's for-profit company.
The trustees of the Ohio Association of County Boards of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities also revoked its contract with Charles Arndt's business, Leadership First Academy for Executive Development in MRDD, a training and consulting firm.
Arndt's dismissal Wednesday followed a two-month investigation by the Columbus Dispatch, which said the state and counties paid Arndt's company more than $1.4 million since 2001 while the nonprofit association paid many of the company's expenses.
Arndt and his attorney, John Marshall, could not be reached for comment Wednesday by the Dispatch.
