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 – They should have seen the writing on the wall and knew this day was coming.  Willa Hemmons and Heather McCollough have been operating like rogue public officials with no oaths of office appeasing Richmond Heights resident Brandon King instead of advising the officers of the municipal corporation of East Cleveland to discharge only their official duties. The weapons Hemmons and McCollough formed against Councilwoman Juanita Gowdy have failed.  Both were advised by the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association that a complaint has been filed against them.  McCollough should have learned Proverbs 2:20.  “So you will walk in the…
