Salute to Watt

==Rauterkus Salutes Watt's Resignation from County Council and Asks Others to Do The Same ==
====2/7/2006====
Mark Rauterkus, candidate for Pittsburgh City Council, district 3,
salutes today's resignation decision of County Council Member, Eileen
Watt. Rauterkus said, "Council Member Watt's decision to remove
herself from Council as she becomes a candidate reverses a trend among
past politicians who have been at odds with the county charter and
their status as a candidate. Watt's loyalty to the people of Allegheny
County as well as the County's Charter will not be forgotten. The
timing matches the expected duty associated with being a Council
Member and honorable representative."
"Other members of County Council seeking other elected offices should
resign at once, like Watt has done," said Rauterkus.
