                       TRIBUTE TO SALLIE PULLANO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2007

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Sallie Pullano for 
her years of service to Chautauqua County. Mrs. Pullano is a wonderful 
example of what public service should be.
  I would like to briefly touch on the many areas of service that 
Sallie has been involved with. Since January 2000 she has served as the 
Human Services Chair in the County Legislature. This committee oversees 
the Departments of Social Services, Youth, Aged, Health, Veterans, and 
Mental Health, and the County Home. There is no doubt that she will be 
missed in each of these areas. Sallie also has a special place in her 
heart for children and senior citizens.
  I must also acknowledge Mrs. Pullano's other interests. She not only 
served as an integral member of the Chautauqua County Legislature for 
many years but she is actively involved in a leading role in the 
Dunkirk-Fredonia Breast Cancer Support Group and holds membership in 
the Partners for Prevention Coalition. She also serves on the boards of 
directors for Hospice Chautauqua and Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc., 
and is on the Chautauqua County Health Network Advisory Board.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating Sallie on her 
wonderful job well done in the Chautauqua County Legislature. Sallie, 
you will be missed by all of the constituents whose lives you touched. 
Enjoy your retirement!
