In this episode of News Man Weekly, host and Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by three leaders of the Mansfield Chapter of the NAACP, including President Alomar Davenport. In addition to Davenport, also joining the show from the local NAACP are Eli Jordan, chairman of the youth chapter, and Victoria Pounds, the local chapter’s community coordinator. The recent NAACP “Town Hall” session is one of the topics for discussion during the show, including Alomar’s call for the city’s Police Review Commission to be revamped and strengthened through an initiative petition he hopes to land on the voting ballot in 2026. Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey in discussing all of the activity and improvements in Mansfield City Parks; a lackluster voter turnout in last week’s primary election; and the fact tech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy was in Mansfield last week, just one day before the state Republican Party endorsed him for governor in 2026. As always, News Man Weekly brings you local news and policy discussions with clarity and purpose, helping you stay informed about the issues shaping your community—and it all pairs perfectly with a cup of great coffee from our friends at Relax, It’s Just Coffee.

In this episode of News Man Weekly, host and deputy managing editor Carl Hunnell is joined by Richland County resident Andrea Mauk Akinyemi. She lost her 18-year-old son, Damon Mauk, in a car accident in 2023, just 20 days after he graduated from Lucas High School and the Pioneer Career & Technology Center. While grieving for the loss of her son, Akinyemi has also had to wage a legal fight over public records pertaining to the crash and also to regain his personal belongings that were with him in the car when he died. That legal fight with the Richland County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety has reached the Ohio Supreme Court. Akinyemi discusses that battle and also the ways she has worked in the last two years to honor her son and keep his legacy alive. Hunnell is also joined by Richland Source North County reporter Hayden Gray and Knox Pages reporter Grant Ritchey in discussing Wednesday night’s upcoming event “After the Trail: A Conversation with Matthew Failor;” a recent groundbreaking for a $38 million senior citizen assisted-living facility in Mansfield; and the announced effort by the leader of the Mansfield Chapter of the NAACP to revamp and strengthen the Police Review Commission in the city.

In this episode of News Man Weekly, host and deputy managing editor Carl Hunnell is joined by Mansfield Mayor Jodie Perry and Safety Service Director Keith Porch. Perry and Porch both answer questions about the PRIDE Tax and the Pothole Haters tax renewals on the May 6 primary ballot. Both are quarter-percent municipal income taxes. Each generates about $4.8 million annually. Both are renewal issues, meaning neither will result in any tax increase. Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey in discussing the groundbreaking for a new $38 million senior assisted living facility in Mansfield; the potential rezone of 321 acres near Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport for economic development purposes; the sexual abuse criminal case against a former Faith Life Church official; and the upcoming “Beyond the Trail: A Conversation with Matthew Failor” event on May 7 in the St. Peter’s High School auditorium.
