                      Wednesday, November 1, 2023

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding constituent from my district, Patricia Ours. Patricia began 
serving as Bookkeeper for the Borough of Newtown in 1997. Since then, 
she has worked tirelessly to support the Borough and its citizens as 
bookkeeper and as treasurer. Now, after more than 26 years of dedicated 
public service and professional commitment, Patricia is transitioning 
from her public position. I am proud to recognize and celebrate 
Patricia as an exceptional administrator who has provided outstanding 
financial guidance and general stewardship to the benefit of the 
residents of Newtown. Patricia finishes her government career as the 
Borough Treasurer, where she is widely respected for her accurate, 
strategic, and careful financial advice. She is recognized and 
respected as deeply knowledgeable in all areas of governmental 
financial management, whether it be budget planning or perceptive 
awareness of potential impacts to the Borough. She has demonstrated an 
extraordinary ability to overcome complex challenges, including those 
innumerable challenges that have arisen because of the COVID-19 
pandemic. Patricia's expert guidance and thoughtfully caring leadership 
have helped the Borough community face challenges and overcome 
adversity. Her dedicated and diligent work has contributed to keeping 
our citizens well cared for.
  We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Patricia has had 
through her long career of public service, and we wish Patricia 
countless blessings during her new chapter.
