(Cleveland.com)(Ed: Ed Kelley has been a good friend to the Jewish community on many occasions. He is now going to be running for County Council.)
Respectful and development-minded, all while wielding a silent gavel. That’s how colleagues of Ed Kelley describe the Cleveland Heights mayor’s management style.
After 20 years on City Council, including the past 16 years as Council president and mayor, Kelley will retire at the end of the month.

Ed Kelley announced Monday night he will not seek reelection in November after 20 years on City Council, the last 16 as its president and mayor.
Kelley, 56, said today he “didn’t want to be one of those people” who stays in office too long, and decided this was the right time to step away. He acknowledged that while he has been urged by many to enter next year’s Cuyahoga County executive race, it is not something he is seriously considering at this time.
