                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 24, 2019

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 100th 
Anniversary of the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of 
Virginia, a well-reputed organization that has spent the past century 
providing counseling on tax policy and its application.
  The Commissioners of Revenue began providing counsel to the Virginia 
General Assembly, the Commonwealth, her agencies and departments, and 
local governments on January 1, 1919. Since their formation, they have 
played an integral role in the history of Virginia, being involved in 
both the registration of our Commonwealth's first female voters and 
their support for the elimination of segregation within real and 
personal property tax assessment books.
  The Virginia Commissioners of Revenue is made up of 127 individuals 
who are the chief assessing officers of their localities. They do 
irreplaceable work assessing property values, issuing business 
licenses, state income tax filing assistance, as well as further work 
within their respective areas. They serve as invaluable resources for 
the citizens of Virginia's First District, and I cannot thank them 
enough for the hard work they do every day.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the 100th 
Anniversary of the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of 
Virginia. I proudly thank the men and women who serve as Virginia's 
Commissioners for their dedication to our Commonwealth and their work. 
May God bless the operations of the Commissioners of the Revenue 
Association of Virginia, and I look forward to seeing their continued 
excellence.

                          ____________________
