Zach Reed update; welcome new Ohio political blog


Thanks to the new erieblu blog, I found this Plain Dealer update on Cleveland City Councilman, Zach Reed. The least credible part of Reed’s comments in a Q&A is this:

Did you recognize before you went into the program that you had a problem?

I didn’t recognize it. No one recognized it.

Otherwise, it sounds as though he’s taking baby steps, decent baby steps. I hope his attempt to get well sticks.

Hattip to Buckeye State Blog for introducing erieblue.

    I saw Councilman Reed at the 11th District Delegate Selection Caucus last night. In fact, I sat right behind him. I have met him twice (Lance Mason introduced us last Memorial Day at the parade, during Mason’s campaign for Ohio Senate, and I asked him a question at an event about the mortgage foreclosure crisis in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood in October.) I like him. I didn’t realize that he had just that day emerged from treatment, although I knew that he had gone in. I didn’t say anything, because I couldn’t think what to day … what DOES one say? But he suddenly turned around and greeted me, introduced himself — clearly he doesn’t remember me, and I didn’t try to remind him.

    All I said was that it was nice to see him again, and it was. He’s a good guy and I wish him well.

    I agree, Jeff, re: he seems like a good guy. I remember him very well from the county tax increase battle re: med mart/convention center. He was very focused and serious. I often think about how much more someone like Zach Reed can accomplish when they’re at a higher capacity of functioning.

    Thanks for leaving the comment. Nice to hear.
