True Champion

I want to wish Assemblyman Fred Thiele Jr. a happy and healthy upcoming retirement [“State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. Will Not Seek Reelection This Fall,” 27east.com, February 12].

Unlike some other local politicians who falsely touted themselves as champions of “clean water,” Fred consistently stood up against big-money interests (especially those behind the disgrace that is The Hills) when it came to the pollution of our fragile local environment.

His integrity will be greatly missed.
