To: William Fitzpatrick, District Attorney Onondaga County
Removal of District Attorney William Fitzpatrick
Term Limits
Why is this important?
The current public disagreement with the Chief of Police for the City of Syracuse is behavior most commonly found in a two year old. The 'tit for tat' related to charges against their respective adult children's behavior would be acceptable in a sandbox- but not played out in the Post Standard.
These actions from an elected official are just another reason why term limits should be in place. The DA's recent re-election was unapposed. Was his effectiveness in the past the basis that people voted for his re-election or was it apathy and lack of opposition? Limiting re-election to three terms will remove the attitude of entitlement and return the focus of the elected official(s) to their elected responsibilities- not personal pettiness.
