The revolving door of Cleveland Heights mayors took its first spin Tuesday.
After voters overwhelmingly approved a recall of now former Mayor Kahlil Seren in September, Cleveland Heights City Council officially vacated the seat at a special council meeting Wednesday. Council President Tony Cuda was sworn in as interim mayor. Cuda will serve until the term ends Dec. 31.
Earlier this year, a former city employee filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, claiming Seren and his wife, Natalie McDaniel, created a hostile work environment at city hall. The complaint accuses McDaniel of making antisemitic and homophobic comments while acting as a de facto representative of the mayor.
