           HONORING THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF MAYOR BETTINA BIERI

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSH GOTTHEIMER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of 
Mayor Bettina Bieri, a staunch and impassioned advocate for the people 
of West Milford, lifelong humanitarian, and mother of two incredible 
children.
  Mayor Bieri is a dedicated public servant in North Jersey whose 
countless accomplishments include restoring the New Jersey Watershed, 
promoting the new library in West Milford, and holding local officials 
to the highest standards of accountability. These efforts demonstrate 
her unshakable commitment to serving her community for thirty-two 
years. Mayor Bieri has consistently fought for her hometown by 
dedicating herself to better her community on the boards of many local 
service groups, including the St. Joseph's Finance Board, the West 
Milford Animal Shelter, and the West Milford Chamber of Commerce.
  As a graduate of Pace University and a Certified Public Accountant, 
Mayor Bieri successfully utilized her financial expertise and 
implemented sound fiscal policies to improve West Milford's credit 
rating and save her constituents tax dollars. Although Mayor Bieri is 
retiring from public service, I am confident she will continue to make 
an indelible impact on those around her through her charitable work and 
unwavering commitment to helping others.
  Mr. Speaker, I am deeply grateful for the contributions Mayor Bettina 
Bieri has made to West Milford and our community throughout her career. 
People like Mayor Bieri are what make northern New Jersey such a great 
place, and I am proud to call her my constituent.
