CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WOIO) - Law Director Bill Hanna and Communications Director Jessica Schantz have been rehired, according to the city of Cleveland Heights.

Former Mayor Kahlil Seren used his last day in office to fire the Cleveland Heights law director on Tuesday.

In the termination letter, Seren cited, among other things, Hanna’s choice to remain silent as the Cleveland Heights City Council launched an “accusation campaign” against Seren.

“Instead, your response was to remain silent and allow a series of baseless and ill-informed attacks to unfold from members of the Council against me [Seren], and, by extension, the City as an employer,” the termination letter stated.

Seren also said Hanna reported members of city council to Seren and breached lawyer-client confidentially.
