Akron City Council named eight members to their new Citizens Police Oversight Board, but they still have one open seat they're hoping to fill with a black man between the ages of 18 and 35, which is the demographic that would have been covered had they agreed to appoint Akron attorney, Imokhai Okolo.
But, because he made some comments about police on social media that some council members found objectionable; they deadlocked on his appointment for two weeks. Once his name was taken off the list though; they reached an agreement during a special meeting yesterday, and now still need to fill that one seat.
To hear more about what's next; listen to our Morning Show Host Ray Horner's conversation about it, with Akron City Council President, Margo Sommerville.
