CLEVELAND — The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections rejected a challenge to the residency of East Cleveland's mayor, unanimously voting there was not enough evidence to prove Mayor Brandon King lied about where he lives.
During a hearing Tuesday, King's wife admitted to living in Euclid, but said the mayor does not live with her, and a longtime neighbor testified he hasn't seen King come or go from the house in years, poking holes in what the challengers called King's maneuvers intended to convince the Board he lived somewhere he doesn't.
But King repeatedly insisted he lives in the home and presented a stack of legal documents and bank statements, all listing the East Cleveland address as his residence. "The Board of Election is not for political theater," said attorney Charles Tyler."It's not to help people win political challenges they lost in the community."
