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.

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.
