East Cleveland citizens today recalled Mayor Gary Norton by
a margin of twenty votes, 548-528. A recount is likely.
Council President Thomas Wheeler was also recalled by
Ward 3 voters, 229-211.
If upheld, these results likely mean Brandon King will be
the next mayor of East Cleveland. King is currently vice president of the
city’s five-person council. Had Wheeler survived the recall, he would have been
in line to become mayor.
If King becomes mayor, the remaining three council
members — Barbara Thomas, Joie Graham, and Nathaniel Martin — would select
two residents to fill the vacancies.

I've been told that Gary went on Channel 8 and conceded.
