                      PAYING TRIBUTE TO SANDY HUME

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 23, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Sandy Hume and thank him for his exceptional 
contributions to his community and the State of Colorado as an Adams 
County Commissioner. As a public official since 1983, Sandy is a 
dedicated public servant and leader in his community and I am honored 
to recognize his accomplishments before this body of Congress and this 
Nation today.
  A lifelong resident of Boulder, Colorado, Sandy attended Boulder High 
School and went on to earn both a bachelor's and masters degree from 
the University of Colorado. After a short period of serving with the 
Army, Sandy became a self-employed photographer. Sandy began his public 
service career when he was elected to the State House of 
Representatives in 1983, and reelected in 1985, and 1987. His strength 
as a legislator led to his 1989 election to the Colorado State Senate. 
Serving the people of Boulder County in District 13, Sandy has long 
been an advocate of education, efficient transportation, and management 
of our energy and natural resources. During his tenure in the House he 
served as a member of the Education and Transportation and Energy 
committees where he was able to work on higher education bills and 
regulating the amount of hazardous waste that is transported through 
Boulder.
  After leaving the General Assembly, Sandy continued his exemplary 
public service record by serving as a Boulder County commissioner from 
1991-1994, and the Boulder County Treasurer from 1995-2002. Currently 
he is serving as the Boulder Public Trustee, a post that he was 
appointed to in 2003 by Colorado Governor Bill Owens. In his spare 
time, he serves on the Advisory Board of the Colorado Commission for 
Higher Education, and is an accomplished photographer.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Sandy Hume has ceaselessly dedicated 
his time and efforts to serving his country and the people of Colorado 
as an Adams County Commissioner. I am honored to bring his hard work 
and commitment to the attention of this body of Congress and this 
nation today. Thank you for all your service, Sandy, and I wish you all 
the best in your future endeavors.
