In an effort to place more attention on the work done by his office and reduce confusion among members of the media who struggle to correctly identify him, the Missouri State Auditor announced today he will now be known simply as Fitz. The auditor formerly known as Scott Fitzpatrick said the change is necessary in large part because reporters from all parts of the state have regularly struggled to correctly pronounce his name beyond Fitz, commonly misidentifying him as Scott Fitzgerald.
"I have immense respect for the work the members of the media do to cover our audits and investigations, but it has become abundantly clear that correctly identifying me as Auditor Fitzpatrick is something that gives them fits. The switch to Fitz will allow me to spend less time correcting misprints and more time holding government accountable for every tax dollar," said Fitz.
