Over $1 million in fees and fines concealed in Judge Will Dawson’s court clerk’s safe

Judge William Dawson had no idea Mayor Brandon King's ex-finance director, Charles Iyahen, was involved in a scheme to pay his wife $107,000 a year. Iyahen should have deducted the county's percentage from the $64,500 Dawson approved and returned the difference to the court's budget.

CLEVELAND, OH – While it’s a duty of the director of finance of a municipal corporation to report to the legislative authority about the condition of its finances, Charles Efosa Iyahen kept his mouth shut about the more than $1 million in fees and fines his clerk of court wife stockpiled in an East Cleveland municipal court office safe for over three years.  State officials learned from me on February 28, 2023 that Iyahen and Judge William Dawson’s clerk of court, Wendy Jonelle Howard, were married in 2022.  She’s now Mrs. Wendy Jonelle Iyahen. The quiet Las Vegas wedding occurred…

King’s 5-year deficit forecast doubles to $60 million as state commission reduces East Cleveland’s spending

CLEVELAND, OH – The most incompetent mayor in Ohio did not attend the June 20, 2023 Financial Planning & Supervision Commission (FPSC) meeting to learn if the state was going to reduce East Cleveland’s 2023 appropriations to 85 percent of the 2022 budget.  The 2022 budget was $30.5 million.  Eighty-five percent is $25.9 million.  It’s equal to the amount council authorized East Cleveland Mayor Brandon L. King to spend for 2023. King’s greed got the best of him and he wanted a $36 million budget for a city that’s taking in less than $16 million in taxes.  His goal this…

The blank spaces in Indian alien Nigamanth Sridhar’s 177 page Cleveland State personnel file raises questions for Homeland Security

CLEVELAND, OH – I received 177 pages of Indian alien Nigamanth Sridhar’s work records along with a threat of a defamation lawsuit from Cleveland State University (CSU) law department employee Kelly Marie King (#76613).  The menacing state university’s employee is identified under the Supreme Court of Ohio’s website as an associate deputy counsel.  King was admitted to practice law on November 10, 2003. According to King, as a response to an official public records request from an American native, me, Sridhar has always been a legal alien and now a United States citizen since March 18, 2016.  She wrote, “At…

RTA board member Valarie McCall has a right to file a complaint against duty-exceeding Mayor Bibb

CLEVELAND, OH – If Mayor Justin Bibb had passed the Ohio Bar Association’s examination and obtained a license to practice law in Ohio before he decided to campaign for a job as Cleveland’s chief law enforcement officer; he might not be racking-up a felony-level list of federal and state laws he’s violating as mayor.  Nothing in Bibb’s background identified him as being prime time ready to manage a 6000 employee municipal corporation with a budget footprint that exceeds $2.5 billion. From his violation of Ohio’s campaign finance reporting laws, to those that invalidate his oath of office, Bibb is just days…

Neighborhood Progress Inc’s Shaker Square deal is actually $37 million and not $12 million as it’s being falsely reported; and its records and meetings are not public in violation of federal and state laws

CLEVELAND, OH – When Asian Indian immigrant Tania Menesse served Mayor Frank Jackson for nearly two years as his director of community development it was her job to “monitor” the “subrecipients” of the block grant funds Cleveland receives from the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).  One of the subrecipients Menesse had a duty to “monitor” at least twice during her two years in the appointed public office was her current employer.  Neighborhood Progress Inc (NPI). Had Menesse monitored her current employer as required by federal laws Cleveland’s community development directors have not mastered and obeyed, then…

HUD’s Inspector General must investigate the effects of the conspiracy between CMHA director Jeffrey Patterson and board member Robert Davis to obstruct East Cleveland’s appointment

CLEVELAND, OH – Attorney Robert Davis should have left the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) board in 2011 after I appointed him twice to serve as East Cleveland, Ohio’s representative in 2006 and again in either 2007 or 2008.  Instead he told me CMHA Executive Director Jeffrey Patterson and he agreed that they liked his presence on the governing body and he wanted to stay.  Each man ignored the statutory duties of their appointed public offices and conspired to remain silent through four expired terms. Patterson was supposed to alert two separate East Cleveland mayors and councils in 2011, 2014,…
