Patch recently published an article chronicling Cuyahoga County Ed FitzGerald’s ruminations regarding a 2014 gubernatorial campaign, but left out some important details about his past.
FitzGerald comes from the Cuyahoga County Democrat machine. You may have heard of these folks before; white collar criminals and corrupt political hacks like Jimmy Dimora and Frank Russo, both of whom have been sentenced to years in prison. FitzGerald may sell himself to the public as a squeaky clean public servant; however, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
FitzGerald has long been entrenched as a supporter of that crooked machine. His career stems all the way back to when he worked for a couple of Democratic congressmen.
FitzGerald’s blind ambition seems boundless. As soon as he took office as Cuyahoga County Executive in 2010, he immediately began angling for higher office.
Governor John Kasich is turning Ohio around. He stopped Ohio’s job loss that started under Ted Strickland. Under Kasich, Ohio leads the Midwest in job creation. Governor Kasich also eliminated an $8 billion budget shortfall, all without raising taxes.
Ohio works, so why would voters reject it by turning to Ed FitzGerald?

He robbed St Peter to pay St Paul. Education should not have been the target......how about trimming some of the useless govt workers and the pork, and expense accounts? Hmmmmm?
They don't care about tainted wells that force people to move, and the chemicals in the water and air, not to mention explosions , people health, and forcing them off their land. We need to get regulations in place from the Federal Govt ruling how these fracking companies operate. They so far, have not been responsible for one incedent. It's disgusting. EPA is dragging their feet and were threatened by one fracking co that they would not be on one of the EPA's study's if they set regulations against them. Why is the EPA afraid of these bullies? Something to ponder.
Kasich didn't cut, there was nothing there to give. Try breathing in space and see how forgiving that is.
If there is nothing left to give, how is it Kasich is expanding funds to Charter Schools and the voucher program?
Kasich said those governmental units will get money back by sharing services and relief from the state on such issues as requirements to pay prevailing (union) wages. The former would cost counties, municipalities and townships $167.1 million the first year including an estimated $5 million for Columbus and $388.2 million starting in the second year, when the full 50 percent reduction would take effect. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2011/03/15/kasich-releases-budget.html Fact of the matter is, the majority of new jobs are low paying (non career) jobs. Kasich raped the cities and school districts to balance his budget, thus causing people to get taxed at the local level. He has a lot to answer for and I don't see him surviving. Scott Walker he isn't. The man has been an abysmal failure.
