IN RECOGNITION OF DAVIE GREER ON HER RETIREMENT AS BARREN COUNTY JUDGE-
                               EXECUTIVE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 8, 2014

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Judge Davie 
Greer. After serving 12 years as the Barren County Judge-Executive, 
Judge Greer will retire at the end of the year. First elected in 2002, 
Judge Greer was the first woman to serve as the Judge-Executive for 
Barren County.
   Among Judge Greer's many accomplishments in office is the 
construction of the Barren County Detention Center, the creation of the 
Barren County Drug Task Force and her work with the Industrial 
Development Economic Authority of Glasgow-Barren County. Under Judge 
Greer's leadership, the Barren County Drug Task Force has expanded to 
cover Edmonson and Allen counties.
   Judge Greer has also lead several measures to improve the emergency 
response resources of Barren County. Likewise, her efforts to enhance 
and grow the parks and recreation system have improved the quality of 
life for Barren County's residents.
   While Judge Greer may be passing the torch for her elected duties, 
she vows to remain active in the community. Presently, Judge Greer is 
the Treasurer of the Salvation Army, a member of the Glasgow Business 
and Professional Women's Club and a member of the Glasgow-Barren County 
Chamber of Commerce.
   I am grateful for Judge Greer's hard work and dedication to the 
people of Barren County. I wish her well on her retirement and look 
forward to continuing to work with her in the community.
