Ed Orcutt

What happened to the mayor after the endorsement, Lisa?

So Brook Park Mayor Ed Orcutt, who is a Democrat, says he's facing threats and attacks for endorsing Max Miller for re-election to the 7th Congressional District.

So in a Facebook post, Orcutt said he...

It was deeply disturbing, and he got messages to his wife using a photo of their daughter in a prom dress with a quote saying, "What if somebody was beating her?" So Orcutt reported this to the Brook Park Police Department.

I'll get back to this in a second.

Brook Park Mayor Ed Orcutt said he's facing threats, attacks since he endorsed Max Miller instead of Democrat Brian Poindexter, a former Brook Park council member.

Here's a quote from Ed.

He said, Since my endorsement, my family and I have faced attacks and threats, including a deeply disturbing message sent to my wife that used a photograph of our daughter in her prom dress and asked what if someone was beating her.

Also, John Husted said Miller would be making the right decision to step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress.

Max Miller is toxic right now.

Whether you are for him or against him, he's toxic if you're in the political arena like Ed Orcutt is.

If I'm Orcutt or anybody else who supports Max Miller, I'd say, hey, Max, you're my boy, but I got to stay away from this because you're toxic right now.

Interestingly, an independent traffic study by NOWACA actually found that fewer on-site parking spaces could improve traffic flow at some nearby intersections, although it would mean more people walking to the stadium.

And Brook Pa- Brook Park Mayor Ed Orcutt seems to recognize that.

He says there's plenty of potential parking on nearby commercial and industrial property.

The city is pursuing a pedestrian bridge over Engel Road to help people get to the stadium safely, and he's working on a residential parking permit system to keep fans from taking over neighborhood streets.
