                  TRIBUTE TO THE 10TH DISTRICT OF OHIO

                          HON. MARTIN R. HOKE

  Mr. HOKE. Mr. Speaker, Cleveland Magazine recently published a story 
detailing the results of their fourth annual survey of Cleveland area 
communities. The study ranks the 47 communities according to safety, 
education, and affordability. I am happy to announce today the 8 of the 
top 10 communities are in the 10th District.

10th District and demonstrates their strong sense of neighborhood and 
community values. You know, sometimes people in Washington have a

have become commonplace in many communities across the

country, it is wonderful to see citizens taking the initiative to make 
their communities better. I am extremely proud of the people of my 
district, and I encourage them, and citizens across the country, to 
keep up the good work.
