East Cleveland Councilman Brandon 'Land' King is the "King" of East Cleveland's Land Bank.
East Cleveland Councilman Brandon King wrote and pushed his legislation through in order to purchase land bank property for himself, friends, and family members.
Councilman KING attends meetings in which his family members are attempting to purchase more and more land bank property, and if Brandon King is questioned as
to possible conflicts of interest or just plain greediness, he becomes hostile. Instead of recusing himself, Councilman decides to represent his family at the hearings.
East Cleveland Council members give the final vote for land bank property- the same property East Cleveland Councilman Brandon King is attempting to purchase,
or his family / friends have already purchased.
Brandon King, the King family, and friends have the land bank property scam down tight.
The King family are the crumb snatchers of East Cleveland's Land Bank even though a quick property search would reveal these are the exact type of no property tax paying real estate owners that should not own any property, let alone own free or nearly free property from the county or city's land banks.
They already got them some land bank goodies, and are making their move for the next land bank property on TUESDAY, JANUARY 20TH, AT 6:30 P.M.
This house, in control of East Cleveland Land Bank, is scheduled for final council vote to sell the property to their own councilman for $1,000 despite a private party's offer of $10,000.
No wonder East Cleveland is so damn break.

With no comment from Mansell Baker or Barbara Thomas it now appears that King will get this house for pennies on the dollar. Previously a ten thousand dollar bid was negated because that person had unpaid property taxes and now King with same situation and a much lower bid gets this house.
