      HONORING RETIRING TOWN OF SARDINIA COUNCILWOMAN CARLA FULLER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 16, 2008

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments and public service career of Carla Fuller, councilwoman 
from the Town of Sardinia, upon her retirement from active public 
service as a member of the Town Board.
  Sardinia is among the smallest towns in my congressional district and 
sometimes, Madam Speaker, that makes for the most difficult service in 
public office. Because everyone in a small town seems to know everyone 
else, the decisions made in government often have a oversized impact 
upon the very people that you represent. It is that very challenge that 
makes the service of people like Carla Fuller all the more substantial.
  Carla served as a diligent, thoughtful and respectful representative 
of the people during her years on the town board. While she will retire 
from active service on the town board at the end of this year, I have 
little doubt that Carla will remain dedicated to Sardinia and to its 
residents for many years to come.
  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to have had this opportunity to honor 
Carla's service to the Town of Sardinia and am certain that you join me 
and the rest of our colleagues in wishing Carla and her entire family 
the best of luck and Godspeed in all of their future endeavors.
