As residents continue to be outraged by the commercial dump being operated on residential property on Chardon Road, Mayor Andy Gardner admitted the dumper, Mark Belich, is an “old friend.” The admission came at the Willoughby Hills PCABR meeting last week. Additionally, Lake County news site Lobbyists for Citizens reports that Gardner and his slate of candidates and political action committee received over $6,000 in campaign contributions from Belich’s father-in-law shortly before the dumping started.
