Scandals & crimes ledger
resolved — Cincinnati City Council "Gang of Five" Open Meetings Act civil settlement
In 2018, while serving on Cincinnati City Council, Landsman was one of five Democratic members (dubbed the "Gang of Five") sued by activist Mark Miller for exchanging private text messages and emails about city business, in alleged violation of Ohio's Open Meetings Act. In February-March 2019, a $101,000 settlement was reached and approved by Judge Robert Ruehlman in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court; the settlement acknowledged two Open Meetings Act violations and required release of the members' messages. The City of Cincinnati, not the members personally, paid the settlement (including $90,000 in attorney fees, a $1,000 statutory forfeiture, and a $10,000 forfeiture tied to fellow councilmember Wendell Young's deletion of messages). Landsman preserved his messages and was not individually penalized. An Ohio Auditor in December 2019 recommended misdemeanor dereliction-of-duty charges, but the special prosecutor declined to prosecute and Landsman was never charged criminally. He remained in office.
