Kris Harsh is a councilman, not a housing inspector, and no law gave him the authority to send violation notices to Ward 13’s property owners

CLEVELAND, OH – Ward 13 and new Ward 4 Councilman Kris Harsh has taken it upon himself to impersonate a housing inspector, threaten property owners with enforcement of criminal housing codes and is interfering with the due process rights of Cleveland home and property owners — all while reporters unfamiliar with the laws he’s violating cheer him on. Harsh, a former nonprofit housing advocate, shared a June 25, 2025 news release explaining how he’d driven the ward he represents and inspected 8507 properties.  He confessed to using the U.S. Postal Services and public funds to mail 1845 letters to property…

Malicious attorney Heather McCollough took council clerk’s criminal and sex abuse complaints, and the next day helped the accused councilor retaliate against her

CLEVELAND, OH – When East Cleveland’s Clerk of Council Stacey White filed a June 23, 2025 sexual harassment and a criminal complaint against Ward 2 Councilman Timothy Austin, she officially transmitted both documents to attorney Heather McCollough.  McCollough signed the documents as received. Since McCollough was usurping East Cleveland’s prosecutor’s office, the attorney should have opened an investigation into White’s allegations if she was pretending to hold the job lawfully.  What the malicious prosecuting attorney impersonator did was conspire with Austin to retaliate against White the next day. McCollough had received pictures of ex-employee Dorian Hudson’s penis she must have…

King and Smith’s state trial moves forward while Smedley’s fed trial is temporarily delayed

Brandon King and Michael Smedley laundered property for the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Commission to the lae Gus Frangos' cousin, Stephen Pontikos.

CLEVELAND, OH – The dockets for the state and federal criminal trials of indicted and suspended East Cleveland Mayor Brandon King, recalled ex-councilman Ernest Smith and his fired ex-chief of staff, Michael Smedley, give the impression the three men are preparing for plea agreements instead of a trial. There isn’t much in the way of pre-trial motions that King and Smedley have offered to challenge the United States and State of Ohio’s evidence and investigative procedures in the criminal cases against them.  Smith’s original attorney, a private attorney impersonating East Cleveland’s law director, Willa Mae Hemmons, initially filed a motion to…

CLEVELAND, OH – An 80-year-old East Cleveland couple narrowly-escaped being burned to death in their home at 14105 Orinoco Road after a murderous arsonist torched the front and rear doors of their residence on August 21st.    The tactic is similar to one lawless soldiers and terrorists disregarding rules of conflict use to massacre unarmed civilians or drive out “holed in” enemy combatants. It was used by “unionists” in East Saint Louis, Illinois on July 6, 1917 to aid in the extermination of more than 1000 American Negro men, women and children.  Homes were torched and the fleeing families were…
