CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As Cuyahoga County's prosecutor, Bill Mason serves as the legal adviser to all of the county's agencies, including boards of revision that hear taxpayers' challenges of their property assessments.

Yet Mason did not challenge a legally questionable closed-door ruling by two board members that slashed $93,200 from the value of his Seven Hills home last year, The Plain Dealer has found.
