MYCAP director, board chariman discuss state agency probe

YOUNGSTOWN — The head of Mahoning/Youngstown Community Action Partnership does not believe he has done anything wrong and said he would welcome a full investigation of the agency and himself.

“It would exonerate us,” said Richard A. Roller II, MYCAP executive director during an interview today. Richard W. Atkinson, chairman of the agency’s trustee board, also participated in the interview.

Roller, who has been MYCAP’s director for about 10 years, said the release by the Ohio Department of Development of a special financial and program review report before it was complete has damaged the local agency and his own reputation.

“I recognize the state’s right to look at our funds; and if anything is wrong, I’d be glad to fix it,” Roller said.
