This past week, Ed Fitzgerald gave his final State of the County address for Cuyahoga County. Ed supplanted most of his speech with pre-arranged videos and stayed away from the topics we predicted he would.
There was a table reserved for the “Friends of Ed Fitzgerald”.
It was completely empty in a sea full of tables. Throughout Ed’s entire speech! Where were Ed’s “friends”?

We’re used to embarrassing turnouts for Ed’s campaign rallies. But this stuck out like a sore thumb.
