GOV. RITTER STATEMENT ON SEN. FITZ-GERALD'S RESIGNATION

Gov. Bill Ritter issued the following statement today regarding the
resignation of Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald:

"It has been a privilege to serve with Joan Fitz-Gerald in state
government this year. I have benefited from her leadership, and the
people of Colorado have benefited from her vision, her commitment to
public service and her judgment. She deserves much praise for her
dedication to a host of important issues, from open-space acquisition
to bark-beetle eradication to forging a bi-partisan consensus around
Referendum C. I wish her nothing but the best."
