 HONORING JAMES RIZZO ON HIS CAMPAIGN TO BE ELECTED TO THE CHAUTAUQUA 
                     COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 23

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor James Rizzo, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for his quest to become the elected 
representative to the twenty-third legislative district in the 
Chautauqua County Legislature. Although Mr. Rizzo was not able to 
realize his dream he has been able to make an impact on other's lives 
in a different way.
  The campaign trail is a difficult path to take. Any person with a 
dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Mr. Rizzo 
traveled that path with his head held high and a smile on his face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that his kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the voters of district 23.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong candidates with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Mr. Rizzo is one of those people and that is why Mr. Speaker I rise 
to honor him today.
