                      TRIBUTE TO KENNETH E. STREET

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 7, 2008

  Mr. SAXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Committeeman Kenneth E. Street. On May 13, 2008, Mr. Street will be 
celebrated for his contributions as a member of the Hainesport Township 
Committee as he retires after more than forty years of faithful service 
to the citizens of South Jersey.
  Kenneth has dedicated his life to serving the residents of Hainesport 
Township. First elected to the township committee in 1950, Kenneth was 
then appointed mayor in 1953. He served in that position for an 
impressive twenty-one years. During his time as an elected official, 
his contributions helped to shape the township into what it is today. 
Most notably, he worked on developing the township's zoning and 
property maintenance, as well as the master plan.
  In addition to his responsibilities within Hainesport, Kenneth became 
involved in the League of Municipalities, a statewide organization 
dedicated to the cooperation of neighboring communities. He served as 
the league's president, along with various other positions, and remains 
active in the group today.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for his 
leadership, commitment, and service as Kenneth celebrates his 
retirement.
