News Man Weekly: Finance Director Kelly Converse discusses phishing scam; Mansfield Shakespeare Company previews show; Plus, local news of the week
This week on The News Man Weekly, it’s a jam-packed show filled with theater, city finance, and community updates. First, we welcome members of the Mansfield Shakespeare Company to preview their upcoming free outdoor production of Twelfth Night at South Park.
Director Christopher Hartman, assistant director and performer Leanna Uselton, and board member Mary Frankenfield discuss the joys and challenges of outdoor theater as well as the origins and future of the company.
Then, Mansfield Finance Director Kelly Converse joins us to break down the recent $748,000 email phishing scam that hit the city. She details how the fraud occurred, what internal errors contributed to the mistake, and how her office is changing its policies to prevent future attacks. Converse also addresses insurance recovery, cybersecurity reforms, and what state legislation could mean for local government protections.
Plus, we’ve got your weekly local news rundown — including a proposed tax incentive deal for Ohio Valley Manufacturing, a new $50,000 grant program for downtown businesses affected by the Main Street construction project, a long-term water main replacement plan using voter-approved funds, and a look at what’s next for the revitalized Mansfield Speedway.
This episode is proudly sponsored by Relax, It’s Just Coffee — downtown Mansfield’s go-to spot for great coffee, fresh pastries, and community conversation.
