After felony conviction, Bobby George sues Ohio Statehouse leaders for rescinding grant money

Bobby George's company sued Ohio Statehouse leaders for rescinding a $3.5 million grant for a downtown Cleveland revitalization project after he was charged with multiple felonies, including attempted murder and rape. The lawmakers revoked the grant in 2025, claiming unproven allegations justified the action, but George later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted strangulation.
