EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — On Tuesday evening, East Cleveland City Council met and while there was a proposed 2023 budget that needed to be addressed, members of the council addressed one another with shouting and disagreements instead.
Council President Nathaniel Martin was voted from his seat by the council early in the meeting with Korean Stevenson replacing him in a 3-2 vote, with Stevenson voting for herself. "Mr. McClain was registered to vote in the city of East Cleveland on 8-23-22. Mr. McClain voted in the city of East Cleveland on 11-8-22. That is not a year, therefore Mr. McClain is disqualified for being council in the city of East Cleveland," Stevenson said.
A representative from the city's law department tried to interject as Shabazz was sworn in, saying he, too, is ineligible for the Ward 3 seat, but was met with more yelling,"I didn't ask you, madame, this is not your fight madame, point of order, Lateek please come forward," Stevenson responded.
