CLEVELAND HEIGHTS CONTROVERSY 

IN NORTHEAST OHIO, ONE COMMUNITY IS HAVING UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT THE BEHAVIOR OF A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE MAYOR IS HAVING ON CITY HALL.
IN CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, THE ABRUPT RESIGNATION OF THE CITY'S ADMINISTRATOR DAN HORRIGAN AFTER LESS THAN THREE MONTHS ON THE JOB IS CAUSING CONTROVERSY AT CITY HALL. HORRIGAN, A FORMER TWO-TERM MAYOR OF AKRON, TOLD THE AKRON BEACON JOURNAL THAT HE RESIGNED BECAUSE HE WAS WORKING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT CAUSED BY A FAMILY MEMBER OF MAYOR KAHLIL SEREN. WHILE THE FAMILY MEMBER WAS NOT REVEALED, SOURCES SAY IT IS SEREN'S WIFE, WHO OTHER CITY EMPLOYEES SAID UNDER CONDITION OF ANONYMITY THAT SHE TREATS CITY HALL AS HER PERSONAL FIFEDOM WITH ACCESS AND INFLUENCE THAT IS GROSSLY INAPPROPRIATE.
