Yesterday, following the request and recommendation of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and that of public health officials including the Center for Disease Control and Infection, the Ohio Department of Health, and Allen County Public Health, I made a difficult decision to respect their request and, with the cooperation of the sponsoring committee, cancelled the permit for the Lima Irish Day parade planned for this Saturday.
