                         HONORING DAVID ROMERO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mrs. CAPPS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my 
constituent David Romero from San Luis Obispo, CA.
   Mr. Romero is retiring as mayor of San Luis Obispo, after holding 
this office since 2002. Prior to serving as mayor, Mr. Romero served on 
the City Council, worked as the Public Works Director and further 
dedicated himself to our community by lecturing at Cal Poly, and 
serving in the Chamber of Commerce, SLO Council of Governments and SLO 
Regional Transit Authority.
   Mr. Romero is a true public servant, and his contribution to San 
Luis Obispo and the greater community will not be forgotten any time 
soon. He is a sterling example of the work that a city can accomplish 
when its citizens roll up their sleeves, work together and dedicate 
themselves to making their community a better place.
   It has been an honor to work with him to ensure the residents of San 
Luis Obispo are well-represented locally and in Washington, DC. In our 
conversations over the years, I am consistently struck by the 
dedication and responsibility he feels towards his friends and 
neighbors of this beautiful city.
   On behalf of the entire San Luis Obispo community, I am proud to 
honor Mr. Romero and his wonderful family today. I wish him much rest 
and relaxation in his retirement!
