   CONGRATULATING ILLINOIS AUDITOR GENERAL WILLIAM G. HOLLAND ON HIS 
                               RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 2015

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate William G. 
Holland on his retirement from serving as Illinois Auditor General. Mr. 
Holland's almost 25 years of service have illustrated his persistent 
dedication to the State of Illinois.
   The Illinois General Assembly has appointed Mr. Holland as Auditor 
General for an unprecedented three 10-year terms. Throughout his 
tenure, he has consistently maintained stability during some of our 
state's most turbulent times. His career embodies true public service, 
and he has been a role model for many other public servants, including 
myself.
   I have known Mr. Holland for more than 30 years and had the 
privilege to serve as an intern when he was the Chief of Staff to the 
Illinois Senate President. I have seen first-hand that regardless of 
who or what party is in power, he has always upheld the important 
values of fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability.
   Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize and thank Mr. Holland for his 
longstanding commitment to good government in the State of Illinois, 
and I congratulate him again on his well-earned retirement.

                          ____________________
