                          HONORING DICK MORRIS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2022

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career 
achievements of Dick Morris, who is stepping down from the Trinity 
Public Utilities District Board of Directors after more than four 
decades of service.
  Mr. Morris was elected to the district board on November 3, 1981 when 
the district was first created. He has repeatedly served as president, 
vice president, and clerk of the board that he helped form. Over those 
years, Mr. Morris helped bring improvements in electricity reliability 
and cost savings for Trinity County customers, who enjoy low-cost power 
through the federal Trinity River Division of the Central Valley 
hydropower project.
  Throughout his time on the district board, Mr. Morris advocated for 
annual payments of $800,000 to the district, additional regional 
infrastructure, and federal legislation vital to the economic health of 
Trinity County. He supported the passage of my Trinity County Land 
Exchange Act of 2013 which acquired land for the district for economic 
development. Mr. Morris was also key to saving Trinity County's only 
hospital, vital to the health and well-being of the community.
  Madam Speaker, Dick Morris' long service on the Trinity Public 
Utilities District Board of Directors is an exemplary illustration of 
commitment to improving the life of Trinity County's rural community 
through good governance. Please join me in honoring Dick Morris on the 
occasion of his retirement from the board, and in wishing him good luck 
in his future endeavors.
