      HONORING RETIRING ERIE COUNTY LEGISLATOR TIMOTHY WROBLEWSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 18, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a friend and fellow 
public official whose service has I been exemplary and whose commitment 
to the residents and taxpayers of the towns of West Seneca and 
Cheektowaga, and the residents of the county of Erie at large, has been 
commendable. Today, I wish to honor the service of retiring Erie County 
Legislator Timothy Wroblewski.
  Tim Wroblewski began his career as an elected official as a member of 
the West Seneca Town Board. During that service, Tim worked with local 
officials to make West Seneca's government among the most efficient and 
effective local governments in New York State--forging relationships 
across party lines and working cooperatively with civic, government and 
community leaders to make West Seneca government the envy of local 
governments statewide.
  With an open-seat election for the ninth legislative district seat 
available in 2004, Tim Wroblewski entered the race for the County 
Legislature and took office in January 2004. Since his election to the 
legislature, Tim served as a strong voice on behalf of Erie County's 
taxpayers. Tim's commitment to his constituency was admirable, and I 
have always valued his friendship, both on a personal as well as a 
professional level.
  The residents of the towns of West Seneca and South Cheektowaga are 
better for the service provided to them by Tim Wroblewski, and I want 
to thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to recognize the 
accomplishments of a responsible and effective public official.
