Peter Fitzgerald: Man of Conscience?

Peter Fitzgerald: Man of Conscience?


FoxNews: Retiring Senator Stood Up for Principles

I’m not a fan of everything Sen. Fitzgerald has done with his six years in Washington. He seems overly fond of arguably needless and wasteful environmental regulations, for example. But I do like that he thinks for himself, that he’s willing to put his neck on the line for honest, accountable government, and that he’s managed in just one term to agitate all the right people — the entrenched politicians, the powerful lobbyists, and the home-state interests hungry for pork.

So if no one else will say it, I will:

It’s too bad that Sen. Peter Fitzgerald is retiring. He deserves a promotion.
