Eric Fingerhut believes the Northeast Ohio region is stronger operating together than it is fractionalized.  In addition to serving on the B-W business administration faculty as director of economic development education and  entrepreneurship, Fingerhut is an Ohio State Senator. He and many of his legislative brethren from both sides of the aisle believe that Ohio communities must learn to work together to deliver public services in a more cost effective manner. Since fire and emergency services are one of the most costly and capital intensive areas for all communities, it is easy to understand why attention always focuses there first.
