This week editorial was found Washington Post’s issue for February 22nd, 2009. This writer talks about his/her’s support for Ken Salazar the U.S.’s new Interior Secretary. Salazar hopes to begin in starting a preservation project for the national mall of D.C. as the new Interior Secretary. He believes that the mall is a national icon, and that they need to take responsibility in keep the mall in a good condition. The article stated Bush administration’s Interior department has neglected to do much, and Salazar hopes to turn that around. Other plans of improvements to things include assisting President Obama in developing a new energy frontier and new opportunities for youth and better programs for Native Americans. It will take lots of money to start these improvements and preservation of the mall. The article ends with a quote by Salazar: “When I think about 1.8 million people out there on Jan. 20, it's an incredible statement about our nation. . . . There's something very special about this place, something very special about the Mall, and it will be a very high priority for me." What he said in that quote demonstrates how well he fits this role as our interior secretary, and I feel like we can trust this man to do a good job after saying something like that!
