Twinsburg mayor to residents in tense meeting: ‘If you’re in a glass house, don’t throw stones’

TWINSBURG, Ohio (WJW) – The Twinsburg city council meeting on Sept. 10 quickly turned into a fireworks show of confrontation.

With a stack of public records in hand, Twinsburg Mayor Sam Scaffide packed a punch with his response to the latest round of criticism from residents regarding an ongoing legal battle, aimed at several city officials.

“We’ve done our homework and some of the people in this room, again… be careful. If you are in a glass house, don’t throw stones because they will come out as well,” he said.

In April, three former Twinsburg police officers filed a lawsuit against the city. That included allegations of corruption.

Since then, a group of residents has been pushing their city for more transparency. However, that pushback reached a fever pitch last week.
