      HONORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF WEBB COUNTY JUDGE LOUIS BRUNI

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to tell the Congress about a 
man who works constantly to ensure the people of Webb County Texas get 
the services they need from the local government. Judge Louis Bruni is 
and always has been committed to working for others; he is the ideal 
public servant.
  The sixth-generation Laredoan has held multiple positions of service 
to the community from his first position in 1994 as a Laredo City 
Councilman up to his current position as the Webb County Judge. Every 
post Judge Louis Bruni has occupied he has pumped out results to the 
people he so faithfully serves. As Laredo City Councilman he played an 
influential role in securing funding for roads and recreational areas 
within his district and also was a driving force behind the 
construction of the city library.
  In 2001 he was elected to serve as the Webb County Judge. It can be 
seen in this position that he currently holds how dear to his heart the 
people of Webb County are. He has efficiently allocated the resources 
of Webb County to better serve the populace in a countless number of 
ways. Take for instance his environmentally conscious idea of turning 
all carbon-based waste materials into electric power creating an extra 
energy source sufficient enough to power 800 additional houses. Not 
only is he a crusader for the proper usage of the environment, he also 
wants to ensure all his fellow members of Webb County get the first-
class economy they deserve. His life in the public sphere should be a 
model for people who want to give all they can to their communities.
  Mr. Speaker, Judge Bruni is not alone a public servant but also a 
father of two amazing children Fredick and Allison, and I am proud to 
that him for everything he had done for our community.
