Ohio Lawsuit Accuses Lawmakers of Corruption in Cleveland Browns Stadium Deal A lawsuit in Ohio alleges corruption involving state lawmakers and the Cleveland Browns owners. Former attorney general Marc Dann and ex-lawmaker Jeff Crossman filed the suit, claiming the Haslam family, owners of the Browns, bought a deal by donating to defeat an anti-gerrymandering amendment. In return, the lawsuit says, Republicans in the legislature included the funding in the state budget. The money comes from the Ohio Unclaimed Funds Trust Fund, meant for lost property. A judge issued a temporary halt on the transfer, calling it robbing Peter to pay Paul. The Haslam family denies the accusations and insists their political donations are separate from the grant. The case heads back to court in two weeks. Checkout Solipillow.com
