With 18 months to go until the next gubernatorial election, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed Fitzgerald hasn’t formally announced his intentions to run for governor of Ohio.

Still he’s making the rounds, including a stop today (Saturday) at Ground for Thought in Bowling Green. What he found was a crowd of about 80 interested in hearing what he has to say, and a few willing to start knocking on doors to get him elected.

Tom Lingeman and his wife Karen Roderick-Lingeman drove in from Perrysburg to hear Fitzgerald.

“We put other stuff off to come here,” Lingeman said. “We’ll work for his campaign.”

Roderick-Lingeman said she was impressed that “he’s thought things through,” unlike the incumbent who tends to make “knee jerk” moves.

When Fitzgerald talked about charter schools, she said, he distinguished between those run by for-profit companies and those run by public school districts.
