HONORING LULA TAYLOR FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY 
                        LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 11

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lula Taylor, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for her service to the eleventh 
legislative district in the Chautauqua County Legislature. Ms. Taylor 
has had the opportunity to serve not only as a strong member of the 
legislature but to her community as a strong community activist.
  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. Ms. Taylor 
traveled that path with her head held high and a smile on her face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that her kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the voters of district 11.
  Lula is one of those people that leave a huge impact on her 
community. For many years her efforts to better Chautauqua County have 
left a lasting impression not only on the county itself but in its 
residents. Her face, voice, opinions and successes were a staple in the 
legislature. Our county and our residents are better for the undying 
work Ms. Taylor did during her tenure.
  A true testimony to Ms. Taylor can be found in many areas of the 
county and in many people whose lives she touched. One doesn't have to 
look far to see what a strong work ethic can do.
  Lula is one woman who never stops working for the things she believes 
in. She serves on the County Human Service Committee, Chautauqua County 
Board of Health, Chautauqua County Health Network Inc. Advisory Board, 
Office for the Aging Advisory Board, County Home Advisory Board, Safe 
House Committee, and is an AIDS Awareness Advocate. Her community 
activism is a true testament to her love of Chautauqua County.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong individuals with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Ms. Taylor is one of those people and that is why Mr. Speaker I 
rise to honor her today.
