Nina Turner's Democratic opponent in Ohio congressional race is under scrutiny for helping to award millions in contracts to her partner and donors.
But Brown's corporate-bankrolled, scorched-earth campaign is also earning detractors. On Monday, Walter Stewart, a local city councilman in Cuyahoga County, posted a video saying he was rescinding his endorsement of Brown because of what he called"phony politics,""big business" and"tit-for-tat negative campaigning."
The Intercept reported in April that Brown, who had pledged to recuse herself"as necessary" from contracts involving her partner, Mark Perkins, had used her position as Cuyahoga County Commissioner to help steer $17 million in contracts to Perk. Perk was founded with Perkins' uncle but is now owned by the Cifani family, who have long-established business ties to the Perkins family and who have supported Brown's campaigns for office.
According to emails provided to The Daily Poster, in April the Intercept's story was forwarded to the Ohio Attorney General's office. The following month, an official in the attorney general's office noted in an email that she discussed the matter with an attorney in the state auditor's office.
"The recommendation by the Special Audit Task Force was to refer this matter to the Ohio Ethics Commission for its review and consideration," noted the email."The Auditor of State strives to make sure all matters are referred to the agency which has jurisdiction. For this reason, the Auditor of State is referring this matter to the above-mentioned agency."
