  CONGRATULATING WAYNE ON BEING NAMED ONE OF THE SAFEST PLACES TO LIVE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Village of 
Wayne on being named one of the safest places to live in Illinois. The 
village of Wayne was named the seventh safest place on Niche's 2017 
Safest Places to Live in Illinois.
  Working together, law enforcement, local officials, and the community 
have made Wayne a safer place to live, work, and raise a family. The 
residents of Wayne should never underestimate the impact that each 
citizen's positive actions can have. Everyday there are members of the 
community helping to change lives, while also inspiring their peers to 
do the same.
  I would be remiss to not also mention the wonderful job of the Wayne 
Police and volunteer Fire Departments. Day in and day out, the men and 
women of the Wayne Police and Fire Departments risk their lives to 
protect their community. Their bravery and courage are very deserving 
of our recognition and admiration and I am happy to see their service 
has led to Wayne being named one of the safest cities in Illinois.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the village of Wayne and congratulating them on being named 
one of the safest places in Illinois.
