Dew Diligence - Episode 27 - University Heights Mayor Michael Dylan Brennan
Its been a roller coaster year at City Hall in University Heights. And Mayor Michael Dylan Brennan has decided this is his last ride. He talks to Dew Diligence about the big decision to not run for reelection in 2025.
Councilman Craig Cobb is not happy. He and five other members of Cleveland Heights City Council voted to approve a temporary 3-month budget, rejecting Mayor Seren's full-year 2025 budget. Mayor Seren says this is petty politics. Council says chaos in the city finance department, delays in getting budget materials and holes in the budget as presented made passing the Mayor's budget as presented impossible.
In 2019 Cleveland Heights, a diverse inner-ring suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, voted to switch from a city manager/council government to one where the people elect a strong mayor. This podcast, hosted by Adam Dew and Eric Silverman, will follow the race to become the first mayor in Cleveland Heights’ history.
