                         TRIBUTE TO SARA FISHER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 19, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I rise before 
this body of Congress and this nation today to recognize Mrs. Sara 
Fisher of Gypsum, Colorado. As Sara prepares to step down from her 
position as the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder, it is clear that the 
people of Eagle County are lucky to have benefited from Sara's years of 
service.
  The job of Clerk and Recorder has presented many challenges during 
Sara's tenure. Since she first took office the population of the county 
has more than doubled. Sara modernized the county's voting system, 
streamlined the process of obtaining basic services, and increased 
staff at satellite offices. Sara, who speaks Spanish fluently, has 
worked to increase the number of bilingual office staff to better serve 
her diverse community. Throughout her service as Clerk and Recorder, 
Sara has always had a positive attitude about serving the people of her 
county. Sara serves because she loves her community, and that shows in 
her dedication and hard work. The people who have been fortunate enough 
to have worked with Sara while she has been the Clerk and Recorder all 
know that she is a true asset to Eagle County, and an excellent public 
servant.
  After more than a decade of service, Sara has recently built a new 
home in Gypsum and is looking forward to spending more time with her 
husband, Bill, and enjoying the beautiful landscape of Colorado. 
Throughout all of the challenges that Sara has faced, she has been a 
strong and competent leader in both Eagle County and throughout the 
state.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise to pay tribute to 
Mrs. Sara Fisher before this body of Congress and this nation. She has 
been a diligent servant of Eagle County and her commitment to her 
community will be greatly missed.
