CLEVELAND — The Independent Monitoring Team overseeing Cleveland police reforms told city council members that"little progress" was made during the second half of 2023 because Mayor Justin Bibb's administration decided to withhold access to records and data the team needs to complete its work.
Racine said the administration should be more collaborative, work with his team and put an end to"the obstructive conduct, the needless legal shenanigans, the sometimes bitter, real bitter, exchanges that don't help anybody." He said the city has complied with providing records to the monitoring team since a federal judge ordered the city to turn over the records."I think we can make real progress," he said."That's certainly what the community wants and that's certainly what this monitoring team is committed to."Several council members asked the monitoring team how much longer Cleveland will remain under federal oversight.
