  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Springfield Township's 
1st Ward Commissioner Thomas Mahoney who will be retiring at the 
conclusion of this year. His political career began on October 10, 
1989, when he was appointed to that very position. For almost 25 years 
Thomas has been an outstanding leader in the community, as well as an 
advocate for the improvement of Springfield Township for the benefit of 
all. First elected Vice-President of the Board of Commissioners in 
1994, Thomas has honorably served as President for 11 of the past 15 
years. From raising a family to being involved with the Youth Club and 
the Athletic Association his commitment to Springfield Township has 
never wavered. Thank you for all of your hard work and best of luck in 
the future.
