Should LeBron James come home and play his 24th season in Cleveland?

Signal Akron readers weigh in on where LeBron James should play his record 24th season in the NBA.

Akron Police Lt. Mark Farrar developed a reputation from 2017 to 2025 as the guy who could book outside work gigs for Akron Police officers and security shifts for area businesses. But as Farrar sought to fill more jobs, he often sent mass emails on an APD listserv, openly advertising jobs at rates higher than regulation and occasionally drawing stern emails and letters from deputy chiefs about the rules. He met with few repercussions beyond a five-day suspension in 2024 for overbilling the hourly rate, overbilling his cut and not filing paperwork connected with six businesses. Investigators only looked into a small portion of his long-term jobs at the time.
