Former Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman Won't Get Jail Time for 26 Misdemeanors
Former Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to 12 months of probation and 100 hours of community service for 26 misdemeanors.
Cimperman had previously plead guilty to all 26 counts, stemming from his votes on city contracts that went to LAND Studio, formerly ParkWorks. The popular local design firm employed his wife, Nora Romanoff, and counted Cimperman among its board members.
Cimperman will also pay a $10,000 fine and court costs, per an agreement with the Auditor of State's Office.
Judge Michael Russo sentenced Cimperman to 12 months in county jail, (6 months for each count, all but two of which would be served concurrently), but suspended the jail time. Cimperman will have to report monthly as part of his probation.
