Tue, February 03, 2009 - 1:28 PM

Florida’s Republican senator, Mel Martinez, has just issued a statement applauding Tom Daschle’s decision to withdraw his name from consideration to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Daschle removed his name as a nominee, as he became faced with problems over back taxes and potential conflicts of interest.

“I commend Sen. Daschle for his decision to withdraw his name from consideration to be Health and Human Services Secretary,” said Martinez.

“We need leaders who inspire trust and confidence in government,” he said.
