  HONORING ANTHONY TERESI FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CHAUTAUQUA 
                     COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 13

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Anthony Teresi, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for his service to the thirteenth 
legislative district in the Chautauqua County Legislature. Mr. Teresi 
has had the opportunity to serve not only as a strong member of the 
legislature but as chairman to subcommittees within.
  The campaign trail is a difficult path to take. Any person with a 
dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Mr. Teresi 
traveled that path with his head held high and a smile on his face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that his kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the voters of district 13.
  Anthony is one of those people that leave a huge impact on his 
community. For many years his efforts to better Chautauqua County have 
left a lasting impression not only on the county itself but in its 
residents. His face, voice, opinions and successes were a staple in the 
legislature. Our county and our residents are better for the undying 
work Mr. Teresi did during his tenure.
  A true testimony to Mr. Teresi can be found in many areas of the 
county and in many people whose lives he touched. One doesn't have to 
look far to see what a strong work ethic can do.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong individuals with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Mr. Teresi is one of those people and that is why, Mr. Speaker, I 
rise to honor him today.
