                       Thursday, January 16, 2020

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Tim Petrosky 
for his service at CMS Energy. Through his exceptional leadership and 
steadfast devotion to the public good, Tim has become an indispensable 
part of Michigan's First District.
  Tim first joined CMS Energy as the spokesman for Big Rock Point 
Nuclear Power Plant in 1991. This historic power plant in Charlevoix, 
first opened in 1962, was the first nuclear power plant in the state of 
Michigan, the fifth oldest in the nation, and is designated as a 
Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Soceity. While Big 
Rock Point was decommissioned in 1997, Tim's work as spokesperson 
continued. This included accompanying a large piece of radioactive 
equipment by rail car to a southern U.S. storage site by rail--giving 
him the nickname ``Boxcar Tim.''
  In 2005, Tim became NW Area Manager, Community Affairs, where he was 
responsible for media, communication, and community activities in three 
counties of the northwest Lower Peninsula. In this capacity, Tim has 
helped CMS Energy communicate and hear from the public--helping reach 
those in need during winter power outages, working with local 
communities to promote public safety and environmental protection, and 
hearing from members of the community on issues that matter most to 
them. With today's ever-evolving world, the work of industry leaders 
like Tim has been critical in supporting the common good an ensuring 
the public trust. His impact on the state of Michigan cannot be 
overstated.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to congratulate Tim Petrosky for his 
decades of service at CMS Energy. Michiganders can take great pride in 
knowing the First District is home to such a dedicated leader. On 
behalf of my constituents, I wish Tim all the best in his future 
endeavors.
