                 CONGRATULATING ALDERMAN BRIAN DOHERTY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2011

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the City of 
Chicago 41st Ward Alderman Brian Doherty. After twenty years of 
dedicated service, Alderman Doherty has decided to retire, and I wanted 
to thank him for his work.
  Elected to the City Council in 1991, Alderman Doherty represented the 
City of Chicago's Northwest Side, including O'Hare International 
Airport. Brian always fought for strong ethics reforms and government 
transparency, two issues very important to me. He voted for a sunshine 
ordinance that makes it much easier to determine how taxpayer dollars 
are spent on Tax Increment Financing Districts.
  During Alderman Doherty's time in office, he worked to bring economic 
opportunities to his communities and make his constituents safer. Since 
many 41st Ward residents are part of the city's enormous work force, 
such as police officers, firefighters and employees of Streets and 
Sanitation, we applaud his efforts for serving those who serve us.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Alderman Brian Doherty of the 
41st Ward of Chicago. I appreciate his twenty years of hard work as 
Alderman and I wish him, his wife Rose and his two children Katie and 
Kevin all the best.
