CLEVELAND (WJW) — Former Cleveland Mayor Dennis Kucinich is continuing his legal fight to stop the Cleveland Browns from moving to a dome in Brook Park.
Kucinich’s law team entered a new filing Friday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, asking a judge to allow him to act on behalf of taxpayers. He believes the city has not done enough to try to stop the Browns from moving.

“I’m so grateful to Warner Mendenhall and Logan Trombley for rising to the challenge at a time when the Cleveland media has already given up on keeping the Browns in Cleveland and blindly accepted the destruction of the stadium as an accomplished fact,” Kucinich, who has now retained the Mendenhall Law Group, said in a statement Friday.
Kucinich, who first filed a complaint in late August [as seen in the previous video at the top of the story], said he believes Huntington Bank Field should not be torn down and that the Browns are worth fighting for.
“The city refused to challenge the constitutionality and the applicability of the amended Modell Law, but, as a taxpayer, I will,” Kucinich said.
