Ernest Smith’s testimony was a crime confession Brandon King asked him not to share

CLEVELAND, OH – Ernest Lamont Smith, 49, doesn’t know how much of a loser he portrayed himself as when he told jurors in his criminal trial that he made his $4500 a year council salary his full-time source of income for four years.  That’s $86.53 a week plus an open invitation to join Mayor Brandon King and Michael Smedley at the “all you can steal” buffet. Smith didn’t have a job when King appointed him along with Ricky Pitts, illegally, to serve on the city council in 2017.   To protect his investment in his illegal appointees, the racketeering-minded mayor threatened…

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…

CLEVELAND, OH – When East Cleveland Mayor Brandon L. King realized the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (BOE) had bought his lie of residing at 1735 Elsinore Street, he selfishly left the room with the two lawyers who were supposed to also represent his mother, wife and two brothers.  Attorneys James Alexander and Charles Tyler.  Comments were made that King was throwing his 82-year-old mother under the bus when he left her to fend for herself.

Hemmons tells the elections board how she criminally impersonated East Cleveland’s clerk and gave them fraudulent records after she was fired

CLEVELAND, OH – In a February 14, 2023 declaratory judgement filing with the 8th District Court of Appeals, private attorney Willa Mae Hemmons (Reg. No. 41790) identifies herself as the “pro se law director” of the City of East Cleveland.  Hemmons wants the appellate court to overturn the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections’ decision not to place three recall petitions on the ballot that she impersonated the Clerk of Council to file with election officials.

Brandon King has debate opponent who humiliated him arrested, jailed and instructs cops not to let him make bond on his word only that he was “assaulted”

CLEVELAND, OH – Richmond Heights resident Brandon King lost a mayoral debate miserably to a first time candidate with a lengthy criminal record who simply outclassed and outknowledged him with every response.  “Name-dropping” King was humiliated in front of an audience of supporters to a repentant ex-offender who made the mayor and his two ex-offending brothers look more like a criminal than he’d ever been.  He even made the mayor’s master’s degree in business look like nothing than just a piece of paper since King’s never been hired by a major corporation or government agency to use it. According to…

Councilman Timothy Austin accused of arson murder attempt after he asks elderly couple for more home repair money and the ex-Iraq war vet was refused

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…
