EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio-East Cleveland Mayor Brandon King is facing a recall effort after the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections on Thursday certified 322 valid petition signatures,11 more than the 311 needed to put the issue before voters, likely for the Nov 8 general election.
Per the city charter, the Black mayor has until Aug. 18 to resign or face a recall vote in November. If the recall is successful Council President Nathaniel Martin will step up as mayor until a runoff election can be held in early 2023.
Governed by a mayor and city council, East Cleveland is a 99 percent Black and impoverished suburb of Cleveland. It has a population of some 14,000 people and 59 percent of household income is less than $25,000. It is one of the poorest cities in Ohio with a majority of its residents living below the poverty line. Its mayor and members of city council are all Democrats
The city has been under fiscal emergency for the last decade.
William Fambrough, who supported Councilwoman Juanita Gowdy in her unsuccessful effort to unseat King via last year's primary election is spearheading the recall effort as a member of a citizens group that says King has permitted police to abuse their power and that he and police are undermining city council's authority.The mayor is also accused of misappropriating city monies and retaliating against his political rivals with malicious prosecutions at the hands of city law director Willa Simmons.
Then the vice president of city council, King succeeded former mayor Gary Norton into office in December of 2016 by succession, and after East Cleveland voters recalled Norton and the council president, that effort organized by activists who complained that Norton was fiscally irresponsible and was supporting a now defunct merger proposal with East Cleveland and neighboring Cleveland King has since won election in 2017 and reelction 2021.
Mayor King, 54, was born and raised in East Cleveland, and he holds an MBA from the Ohio State University.

PALM BEACH, Florida- The FBI raided former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort residence in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday seeking classified documents and evidence of wrongdoing during his presidency, the raid the result of the execution of a search warrant that has the former president's Republican allies in an upheaval and media across the country in a frenzy.
It is the first time in American history that a search warrant has been executed against a former president and it was issued on the anniversary date of Richard Nixon’s Aug 4, 1974 resignation, which followed the Watergate scandal.
Democrats in Washington are elated as they renew the push for the Justice Department to bring criminal charges against the former president, a real estate mogul and former television personality who twice survived impeachment proceedings and was ousted in 2020 by now president Joe Biden, a Democrat who was vice president under former president Barack Obama, a two-term president and the nation's first Black president.
"To have a warrant, you need justification. And that says that no one is above the law, not even a president or a former president of the United States," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Pelosi said that the government raid on Trump's home is a step in the right direction.
"We believe in the rule of law. That's what our country is about," Pelosi said in an interview with NBC's "Today" show.
The now infamous FBI raid on Trump's elaborate Florida compound comes during speculation that he intends to announce shortly that he will run for president in 2024 It also comes hardly two weeks after the Jan. 6 committee that is investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol recessed until next month.
Trump, however, was not at home at his resort in Florida and was at Trump Tower in New York City when the raid occurred. He said that it is nothing more than a witch hunt and released a statement saying that he too is shocked at the actions undertaken by the FBI and the Justice Department under U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland..
"My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Trump said in a statement Monday evening.
The former president owns the 650,000 square feet resort and also has a mansion on the multi-million dollar property, a place he sometimes retreated to with his family when he was president and home to some 29 other billionaires.
Trump's lawyers had been in negotiations with government officials over the classified documents, or what the federal government says are classified documents. Those documents were the target of the raid, sources said, a raid that left Trump's home office and bedroom in disarray.
Valued By Forbes Magazine at $160 million in 2018, Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate is, no doubt, beautiful, and it is the second largest mansion in the state of Florida.
Congressional and Senate Republicans lined up against the FBI raid and in support of the former president as the midterm elections near and the battle for control of the House of Representatives and U.S.Senate looms on.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., tweeted that "I've seen enough," and controversial U.S. Rep Marjorie Greene of Georgia, Sen Marco Rubio of Florida, and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio were among Republicans who joined McCarthy in expressing dismay, Jordan saying in a statement that "this is what happens in third world countries."
A senior member of the U.S. Senate Sen Lindsey Grahamlled the raid on the former president problematic and said that "nobody is above the law." He said also that he believes it was unnecessary
This is a developing story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - A 19-year old Black Cleveland area woman charged in connection with the 2021 New Year's Eve carjacking and shooting death of off-duty Cleveland police officer Shane Bartek in the Kamms Corner neighborhood on the city's largely White west side was convicted on Wednesday by a Cuyahoga County common pleas jury.
Tamara McLoyd, of Garfield Heights, faced several charges relative to the officer's shooting death, including aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, grand theft, and having weapons under disability. She did not take the stand and testify at her own trial.
Jurors deliberated for some four hours before reaching a verdict. Controversial common pleas Judge John O'Donnell, who presided over the trial, set sentencing for Sept 27 and she could spend 20 years to life in prison, depending on what sentence the judge imposes.
An appeal is likely, sources said.
McLoyd's attorneys told the jury during trial that McLoyd was drunk and high when the incident happened.
Her defense team argued that the state had not proven its case while the prosecution said McLoyd admitted in her interrogation that she robbed and then shot and killed Bartek. The jury sided with the prosecution.
Bartek's mother, grandmother and twin sister watched from the overflow room along with a cadre of Cleveland police officers as the celebrated case was handed to jurors for deliberation and were there when the verdict was read
Though Officer Bartek, 25 at the time of his death, was off-duty when he was killed, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb deemed his killing that of an on-duty cop in order that the fallen officer's family could qualify for benefits, including funeral and burial monies.
McLoyd was on probation and under the supervision of the Lorain County Juvenile Court for a robbery conviction when she allegedly shot and killed Bartek. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Mike O'Malley told reporters that at that time McLoyd had been convicted of robbery as a juvenile in Lorain County Juvenile Court and that she should not have been on the streets, though a judge who had released her from custody obviously disagreed with his stance.
Others question how McLoyd, at such a young age, fail so quickly into the cracks of crime with little to no help of rehibilation. But some critics are not so lenient and are hoping for the judge to throw the book at the young woman since the person she killed was a cop, and cops in America are privileged, particularly where Blacks are concerned.
Officer Bartek was shot twice in the back in his car as she robbed him, his car parked outside of the apartment complex where he lived. He was pronounced dead after being transported by EMS from the scene of the shooting to Fairview Hospital.
Surveillance video purportedly reveals that McLoyd drove off in the officer's personal car after she allegedly shot him. She ultimately delivered the car to Anthony Butler Jr, 28 and of Bedford Heights, the other suspect who was charged with fleeing and receiving stolen property. Butler has pleaded not guilty
Police recovered the stolen car following a high speed chase through the city and several other communities.
