The voter-created new Cuyahoga County form of government starts this week under new Executive Ed FitzGerald, who started today (Monday).


In a county with Prosecutor Bill Mason as the last elected non-judicial official standing, some say FitzGerald wants the county government to have its own law director for non-criminal cases. Replacing Mason’s office?

Meanwhile, the five-county Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency works with the votes of elected county commissioners and elected county engineers in four counties.

With such no such elected commissioners or engineers existing in Cuyahoga, who now gets to vote on NOACA issues, and when?
