Perhaps you want to know who the MAYORS were?  If that's the case, the answer is Gregory S. Lashutka (1992 - 2000) and presently it is Michael B. Coleman (2000 - present).\n\nIf you want to know who the governor of Ohio was, then the answer is George V. Voinovich (1991 - 1998), Nancy P. Hollister (for about two weeks from Dec 1998 - Jan 1999), and currently it is the dreadful Robert A. Taft II (1999 - present).

CIA - Born out of the old OSS after the Second World War, this agency is intended to be independent, non-partisan and for fifty years has been responsible for covert operations and intelligence gathering. They also provide info for non governmental clients - not just the executive branch.\n\nNSA - The National Security Agency is the President's primary source for intel. It is a part of the executive branch and, I believe, shares intel with others in the community including military intelligence folks.\n\nDepartment of Homeland Security is a mish mash collection of agencies (FEMA, Immigration...) designed to respond to the threat brought on by 9/11.

YES ... Created in 1865 as a tiny Treasury Department agency to root out counterfeit-currency rings, the Secret Service was given the mission of protecting presidents more than 35 years later. For over 137 years, the Secret Service has presented an image of bravery, excellence, and patriotism. Today, the Secret Service's protective mission extends to all retired presidents, the vice president, visiting heads of state, foreign missions, and a host of executive branch offices and residences. But a U.S. News investigation shows that, at a time when the stakes for the Secret Service are higher than ever, the agency is rife with problems and resistant to oversight and correction. President Bush has proposed moving the Secret Service into a new cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security.

Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior, has ties to Abramoff but cited other reasons for leaving. Porter Goss, the former CIA Director (not a cabinet position), resigned for unspecified reasoning but many believe it is either related to the former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) scandal or an upheaval in the CIA (or both actually.) Scott McClellan resigned because he was doing a pathetic job as Press Secretary (also not a cabinet position.)
