                        RECOGNIZING KENNY BARMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 2017

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kenny Barman 
on his retirement as a Clover Township Trustee. For 44 years, Mr. 
Barman has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving his community.
  Over the course of his elected service, Mr. Barman focused on keeping 
roads and equipment in good condition. During his time as a trustee, he 
was able to witness many positive changes in the community such as the 
building of a new township building. The Woodhull Municipal Building is 
now a shared structure with the village and township--another important 
project carried out during his tenure. Mr. Barman also helped the 
township through some tough times. During the snowstorm of 1979, many 
residents were left housebound for up to a week while area roads were 
closed for days. Mr. Barman gathered funds to purchase special 
equipment to plow the roads. He was a true public servant through times 
good and bad.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Kenny Barman for his 
longtime commitment to serving his community. Mr. Barman has 
undoubtedly had a positive impact on the citizens of Clover Township. I 
congratulate him on a well-earned retirement and wish him the very best 
in his future endeavors.
