One of this community’s favorite sons, David Rodabaugh, is now a Lima Municipal Court judge.
He joins a court stacked with Bluffton connections. Judge Tammie K. Hursh, also a municipal court judge, is from Bluffton. Richard Warren, Bluffton native and former common pleas court judge, is a court magistrate.
