              COLORADO STATE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE RON MAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 23, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to take this moment to recognize 
the career of one of Colorado's leading statesmen, State Representative 
Ron May. In doing so, I would like to honor this individual who, for so 
many years, has exemplified the notion of public service and civic 
duty. It is clear that Representative May's dynamic leadership will be 
greatly missed and difficult to replace.
  Elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1992, a seat he 
would hold to the present time, he sponsored many bills on workers' 
compensation, unemployment, insurance, highway speed limits, right-to-
work legislation and information systems. He works diligently to bring 
his colleagues up to speed on a whole range of technological issues.
  Representative May received many honors. In 1996 he received the 
National Right to Work Legislator of the Year award, the NFIB Guardian 
of Small Business award in 1994 and the CACI Business Legislator of the 
Year award.
  2000 marked the end of Representative May's tenure in elected office. 
His career embodied the citizen-legislator ideal and was a model that 
every official in elected office should seek to emulate. The citizens 
of Colorado owe Representative May a debt of gratitude and I wish him 
well.
