The Cleveland Guardians attempted twice to provide Cuyahoga County council members with hundreds of free game tickets, but both offers were blocked by the Ohio Ethics Commission. The commission cited Ohio ethics laws that prohibit public officials from personally benefiting from decisions they make.

The Cleveland Guardians twice offered Cuyahoga County Council members 100 free tickets to use or distribute as they saw fit, but Ohio ethics laws prohibits it. This aerial view of Progressive Field, where the Guardians play, shows the Cuyahoga County administration building in the background, off the Right Field District, on E. 9th Street.

The Ohio Ethics Commission blocked them both times, reminding that the law prohibits public officials from personally benefiting from the decisions they make, according to a copy of the commission’s advisory opinion, which cleveland.com and Plain Dealer obtained through a batch records request. The body issues opinions on ethics in public service and investigates potential violations.
