  CONGRATULATING ROYAL OAK CITY MANAGER DON JOHNSON ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. LEVIN of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate my 
constituent and Royal Oak city manager, Don Johnson, on his retirement 
after 14 years with the great city of Royal Oak.
  Don started as city manager right at the height of the Great 
Recession. To hear him tell it, the city was flat broke. Royal Oak was 
facing huge revenue shortfalls, and Michigan families were hurting.
  In the years since, he has helped Royal Oak turn around and become 
one of the most desirable places to live and visit. Royal Oak saw a 
jump of $10 million in revenue in 10 years, truly an outstanding 
accomplishment for the people of Royal Oak and a testament to Don's 
hard work.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Don for his years of service and wish him the 
very best in his next chapter.
