A Cleveland City Council resolution calls on FirstEnergy to relinquish its naming rights of the Cleveland Browns’ publicly-owned football stadium.
Ward 16 Councilman Brian Kazy, chairman of the committee that oversees Cleveland Public Power, is the lone sponsor of the resolution, which is set to be introduced to council on Monday.
The legislation states that FirstEnergy paid a reported $107 million in 2013 to secure naming rights to what’s now known as FirstEnergy Stadium. “FirstEnergy has a longstanding commitment to supporting communities through sponsorship of civic, athletic and arts organizations. We have taken swift action to address events that have occurred in recent years and to ensure a culture of strong ethics, integrity and accountability at the company. We look forward to continuing as a valued partner with all the communities in which we live and work.
FirstEnergy also admitted to federal authorities that it gave millions in bribery payments to Sam Randazzo, ex-chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, to push for changes worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the company.
