The city of East Cleveland's spending authority has been reduced 'due to inaction by the mayor and city council,' a spokesperson for the state auditor told 19 Investigates.
Governor appointed fiscal commission to oversee city’s spending, reducing it to 85%EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio - East Clevland City council members say that there are major health and safety concerns at City Hall, and it’s been like that for years. They say that since the city is facing a fiscal emergency, it’s likely things won’t change anytime soon.
During our tour we found blocked hallways and exposed wires hanging out of walls throughout the building. The plaque consisted of black marble tiles that included the mayor’s name inscribed in them. In a text message the mayor’s chief of staff said the plaque likely cost a couple of thousand dollars.“It’s falling totally apart,” said Gowdy.
King says that because of this, the city is now just focusing on basic services like police and fire. But Gowdy says the mayor hasn’t told council where the city has recently been spending taxpayer dollars. Currently, the City of East Cleveland is operating under the oversight of a fiscal commission that was directed by the Governor’s office.
