                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 8, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the efforts of State Representative Todd Saliman and his 
efforts to improve the lives of his fellow constituents and the State 
of Colorado. Todd has served in the Colorado General Assembly since 
1994 and has dedicated countless hours of his time and energy to his 
position and constituents. Now, after eight years of service, Todd is 
retiring and I am honored to take this time to thank him for his 
service to Colorado.
  Todd is a native Coloradan whose family has lived in the state for 
generations. During his tenure as a representative, he served on many 
committees including the Joint Budget Committee, Finance, 
Appropriations, and Local Government committees. Throughout his time in 
the legislature, he has championed the issues of health care, children 
and families, the environment, education, and transportation. He is 
known throughout the community as a devoted husband and a proud father 
of a new son, and is often found providing his support to the board of 
directors at the Developmental Disabilities Center and was instrumental 
in the assembly for securing funds for children's and senior's health 
services.
  Mr. Speaker, Todd's hard work in the legislature has not gone 
unnoticed during his tenure and he has been recognized repeatedly over 
the years for his legislative accomplishments. Today, I continue to 
honor his service by thanking him for his devotion and dedication to 
his community, his state, and his nation. Thanks for all of your hard 
work Todd, and good luck in your future endeavors.
