Those surprised by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's choice for lieutenant governor must have been encouraged when Jim Tressel spoke to the state about his priorities. When so much in Columbus can feel overly specific or exclusionary, Tressel understands it is time to look out for all of us.
"We've got to make sure the concern for our Ohioans and their fate, their future is our chief concern, and sometimes it doesn't line up with what individually I'd really like. … The chief interest and the decisions we make need to make sure we've kept in mind the needs of all of our Ohioans."
Tressel went so far as to talk about what he believes to be an important trait by which DeWine governs as well. "He truly follows every day (with) the belief that he wants every single person in this state to reach their God-given potential," Tressel said of the governor.
Excellent. Tressel appears to be the right pick for Ohio.
