Senate Majority Leader Rob Garagiola, D-Montgomery County, said he would be resigning from the Senate on Sept. 1.
"I want to spend more quality time with my children," said Garagiola, who has three children between 12 and 15. "It is time for me to be a father first for them and I realize as I watch them grow and become young adults that I won't be able to get this time back. I look forward to being extremely involved in their lives, which I have not been able to do while in public service."

Can we get the rest of those liberal idiots to follow behind him!
ReplyDeleteMaybe some other Democrats need to take his lead.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice?
that's the given reason, not what's the real reason?

ReplyDeleteGood for him. A person should be able to serve while being a parent, but in this day and age, every group, club, business and many individuals feel officials should have no lives. If you don't show up for their new bathroom ribbon cutting, then you're a dog. Some politicians are dogs for showing up - they are called media hounds! (drum rap)
ReplyDeleteI tip my hat to this gentleman.
ReplyDeleteIf I had only realized how much I was missing over the past 15 months by moving to Salisbury I would have never done it. Lesson learned and thankful to God for the way things turned out. 2.7 more years of it could have destroyed everything.
Getting up and bringing my Grandson to the bus every week day morning these past two+ months and sharing the quality time with him when he gets off that bus in the afternoon was well worth a loss.
I can completely understand and respect this man's decision. Fortunately I wasn't away for as long as this man has been and one thing is for sure, it will never happen again.
As for the quality time with my Wife, that's none of your business but know I'm smiling from ear to ear.
It was real Salisbury but I thank you for the end result. Oh, and thank God for all the rain too.
I think this commenter from the linked article might have hit the nail on the head with this thought-

When a politician says they are retiring to spend more time with their family, it usually means that the poop is about to hit the proverbial prop. Wait for it..... wait for it."
Mr. A., sorry to hear that, but happy for you and your family. I so wanted you to win. Plus 3:53, I feel the same. map
ReplyDelete3:53 PM you are exactly right and the Democrats will do their best to cover it up.
