Cleveland council funds for narcotics detectives sparks heat
Six weeks after charges were dismissed against five Cleveland narcotics detectives accused of protecting a cocaine supplier, Council President George Forbes pushed through a 172 500 payment to their lawyers.

The judge dismissed the case, and critics say the law was misapplied. The row continues as politics loom over mayoral and council campaigns.
