                          HONORING BILL DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 30, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Indiana State 
Representative Bill Davis. After serving House District 33 for 9 years, 
State Representative Davis will begin the next chapter of his career, 
serving the State as the Executive Director of the Office of Community 
and Rural Affairs.
  During his time in the State legislature, Bill Davis served on the 
House Ways and Means Committee, where he helped craft balanced budgets 
that included no tax increases for Hoosiers. As a legislator, Bill 
Davis was committed to efficient government that used the taxpayers' 
money wisely. Bill served as Chairman of the Committee on Public Policy 
and was a leader on issues affecting Hoosier farmers and teachers.
  Bill's leadership in business and government will greatly benefit 
Hoosiers as he serves as the Executive Director of the Office of 
Community and Rural Affairs. On a personal note, Bill and I served 
together in the Indiana General Assembly. He was a great colleague and 
an even better friend.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in honoring 
Bill Davis for his years of service in the Indiana General Assembly and 
in congratulating him on his next role as Executive Director of the 
Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
