A class-action lawsuit argues that funding a new domed stadium for Ohio's Cleveland Browns using residents’ unclaimed funds violates multiple provisions of the state and federal constitutions.

Two Democratic former state officials are challenging the constitutionality of raiding the state's unclaimed property fund to help pay for a new Cleveland Browns stadium, among other things.

The Cleveland Browns are facing another legal challenge over their proposed new stadium in Brook Park. A group of Ohio residents is suing to stop unclaimed funds from being used to fund the project. The lawsuit says it is illegal for the state to take private property for private use without compensation.
