Worthy honoree

Today's Herald-Leader comments on State Auditor Crit Luallen's recent recognition:

Crit Luallen the elected official is the same Crit Luallen who spent all those years serving other elected officials behind the scenes — a professional public servant who does her job and does it well, without regard for the petty partisan politics practiced by too many elected officials at all levels of government.

That record has earned her recognition from Governing Magazine as one of 2009's Public Officials of the Year.

...It is a well-deserved honor for someone whose career has embodied "public service" in the best sense of the phrase.
