Cleveland Heights League of Women Voters weighs in on 10-month City Council vacancy Thomas Jewell, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio The city’s League of Women Voters has taken City Council to task over its failure to fill a vacancy that will soon be entering its 11th month.
That comes after the advocacy group took on the considerable task of interviewing more than 20 applicants for the seat last year at council’s request LWV Cleveland Heights-University Heights Chapter Chair Maryann Barnes pointed out in a letter to the city last week.
Those interviews were completed April 30, less than two months after Councilwoman Melissa Yasinow stepped down with nearly two years left on her term.
