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…

Usurper Sandra Morgan retains county landbank’s law firm, Roetzel & Andress, to help her keep mayor’s job she’s stealing

CLEVELAND, OH – The growing suspicion that predominantly American Negro populated East Cleveland, Ohio is intentionally being destabilized for a takeover by ethnic cleansing minded Cuyahoga County players is becoming more confirmed with each fight Mayor Lateek Shabazz has to engage in to assume the mayor’s office.  His latest obstacle is a quo warranto mayoral usurper Sandra Morgan appears to have retained the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Commission’s (CCLRC) law firm to file on her behalf.  Roetzel and Andress.

Mayor Shabazz says Judge Russo created chaos and no confidence in the court when he noticed the media instead of the city’s officers of his East Cleveland interim mayor’s appointment of Morgan

Mayor Lateek Shabazz files quo warranto claim to remove usurping ex-interim Mayor Sandra Morgan from city hall

For the second time since he was appointed to East Cleveland City Council in 2023, Mayor Lateek R. Shabazz is dealing with a usurper claiming a right to his office. For nearly a year Mark McClain claimed he was Brandon King's "legally recognized" councilman and received Shabazz's wages. Now Sandra Morgan is stealing his wages and claiming to be East Cleveland's mayor after he was sworn into the job from the council presidency by Councilor Dr. Patricia Blochowiak.

CLEVELAND, OH – It is not difficult to see how former interim East Cleveland Mayor Sandra Morgan misread Cuyahoga County Probate Court Judge Anthony Russo’s instructions on how long she could remain in office during convicted ex-Mayor Brandon Lee King’s suspension.  In a June 1, 2025 response to now Mayor Lateek Shabazz’s Facebook announcement that he’d been administered the oath of office to assume the job King was removed from on his way to prison, Morgan posted, “You are NOT the mayor!  The Supreme Court will decide who holds the seat until the election.” The “until the election” response from…
