  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 
the outstanding career of Ms. Tammy Rogers and congratulate her on her 
retirement from the Lee County Board of Supervisors. After nearly three 
decades in this seat, Ms. Rogers has served her county well and set the 
precedent of hard work and commitment in county government.
  Tammy Rogers first applied as the Lee County Board of Supervisors 
Secretary in 1989, though this was not the first they had heard from 
her. A coworker recalls her phone calls regarding the dilapidated state 
of a bridge near her home. Ms. Rogers commitment to excellence was only 
solidified by her new position in public service. She is known for her 
work-ethic and transparency among her coworkers, as well as her 
dedication to forming relationships with each supervisor. It is 
dedication like this that makes North Mississippi great.
  The decision to retire after 30 years of service was a difficult one 
for Ms. Rogers, however she will continue with her career at a local 
bank. I respect and admire her commitment to public service for so many 
years and wish her the best in this new chapter of life.
  Her colleague Billy Davis said of Ms. Rogers, ``You can get some more 
good ones, but you won't get anyone better.'' I think this comment 
exemplifies Ms. Rogers impact on her community and dedication to 
service. She will continue to be a pillar in her community.
