     CONGRESSIONAL TRIBUTE TO STATE REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT SHACKLETON

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART STUPAK

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 2005

  Mr. STUPAK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank a retiring Michigan 
state legislator for his service. State Representative Scott Shackleton 
has just completed his third and final term representing the 107th 
District of the Michigan House, which includes Chippewa, Mackinac, and 
Emmet Counties, as well as a part of Cheboygan County.
  I appreciate Representative Shackleton's six years of service to the 
people of Northern Michigan. Like all of us who represent this rural 
part of the state, he has worked to make sure our region gets its fair 
share in his role as Chairman of the House Appropriations 
Transportation Subcommittee.
  I also want to mention Representative Shackleton's family. He and his 
wife Karen have two young sons, Henry and John. Each of us who has 
served in public office when we have young children at home know the 
sacrifices that families make in order to represent

our communities. I am sure that the Shackleton family has made those 
sacrifices, and they deserve our thanks as well.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
recognizing Representative Shackleton for his service to the people of 
Northern Michigan, and in wishing him well as he leaves public life.
