Watch the VideoElected three years ago on the heels of the largest corruption scandal Cuyahoga County has ever seen, County Executive Ed FitzGerald has broadened county government's focus beyond health and human services to include economic development, early childhood education and shared services. In addition, he has pushed for stronger ethics laws and a smaller, leaner county government, and he is in the process of establishing a college savings program in which the county would automatically open savings accounts of $100 in the name of each kindergartner in the county.
County Executive FitzGerald is the former mayor of Lakewood, Ohio, and is currently a candidate in the gubernatorial race for the State of Ohio.
