Good morning, Portage County. The security cameras don't lie in Cleveland Heights, where Mayor Kahlil Seren finds himself in hot water after surveillance footage caught him entering the law department at 7 a.m. on April 3—just hours after telling city council his keycard couldn't access that area. His explanation about using a different key fob has only deepened the controversy, adding another chapter to the ongoing tensions at City Hall.
Summer's soundtrack is taking shape in nearby Cuyahoga Falls with a packed entertainment calendar featuring Carlos Jones and the PLUS Band at Falls Downtown Friday, outdoor screenings of "Moana 2," and heritage festivals celebrating diverse cultures. Meanwhile, the financial aftermath continues for Notre Dame College as Bank of America pursues a $20 million debt lawsuit against the recently closed institution, seeking a court-appointed receiver to oversee asset sales while the Ohio Attorney General separately investigates alleged misuse of donor funds.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🕵️ Cleveland Heights mayor caught sneaking into law department after denying access. Surveillance videos show Mayor Kahlil Seren entering the restricted area at 7 a.m. on April 3, despite telling city council the previous night that his keycard couldn't open that door. When confronted, Seren claimed he used a separate key fob rather than his keycard, a distinction council members found misleading. This controversy adds to growing tensions, as Seren faces criticism over his wife's alleged antisemitic remarks and a December outburst at City Hall captured on unreleased police bodycam footage.
🎵 Cuyahoga Falls unleashes summer fun with packed entertainment lineup. The Ohio city's calendar features free events including concerts, movies, and heritage festivals from June through September. Music lovers can enjoy Falls Downtown Friday with Carlos Jones and the PLUS Band, while families can catch outdoor movies like "Moana 2" during Flix on the Falls.

💰 Notre Dame College faces $20M debt lawsuit from Bank of America.

Bank of America is demanding a court-appointed receiver to oversee the sale of the college's assets. This legal action comes amid other troubles for the institution, as the Ohio Attorney General has separately accused Notre Dame College of misusing donor funds to pay debts.
