A Lima city councilman is concerned for the community with the closure of a state program that helped those in the area. The Ohio Benefit Bank announced they have filed for bankruptcy and will shut down on July 31. Derry Glenn and director of the local branch Vickie Shurelds said this will have a significant impact on the community. 300 people used the service that allowed them to file taxes for free, connect with other state programs and stretch their budget. The two are telling people they need to sign in to get their information before it's no longer available.
