                         HONORING JUNE HOROVITZ

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROBIN HAYES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 4, 1999

  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a legislative hawk from 
North Carolina who is going to be moving out of our state in just a few 
days. June Horovitz from Raleigh, has worked hard for the people of 
North Carolina. Although she has never been elected and she has never 
been paid a lobbying fee, she has worked for over 17 years to make 
North Carolina a better place.
  I first met June in 1992 as a state legislator in North Carolina's 
General Assembly. June does not drive, so she would ride the bus or 
catch a ride with a friend down to the legislature building and attend 
committee meetings and visit with members. We became fast friends due 
to her hard work to eliminate the state sales tax on food. June's cause 
prevailed. Last year, the General Assembly repealed the final two cents 
of the state's portion of the food tax.
  Since moving on, June has kept me informed of the issues in the North 
Carolina General Assembly. June is moving to Boca Raton, Florida on 
Thursday, November 18 to be closer to her brother and his family. I 
expect she will continue to fight high taxes and wasteful government in 
her new state of residence. I thank her for all her support and wish 
her all the best.
