The recall election of Cleveland Heights Mayor Kahlil Seren has been scheduled for September 9, the same day as the primary. The City Council also noted that the Mayor cannot use the social media account for political messaging.
Petitioners said they handed in 4425 signatures and apparently got 3845 valids. They needed 2900. Approximately 500 were invalidated.
It was previously announced that Seren had failed to make the ballot for a reelection race, he needed 342 signatures but was 39 short (a number of petitioners had signed other petitions as well).
The recall is over claims that his wife has allegedly made numerous anti-Semitic comments against city employees and other officials and a civil rights complaint filed against him. Seren is also being faulted for a high turnover rate and failed budget process.
