                       HONORING MS. DIANE LAWSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the years 
of service given to the people of Chautauqua County by Ms. Diane 
Lawson. Ms. Lawson served her constituency faithfully and justly during 
her tenure as the Ripley Town Assessor.
  Public service is a difficult and fulfilling career. Any person with 
a dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Ms. Lawson 
served her term with her head held high and a smile on her face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that her kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the people of Chautauqua County.
  We are truly blessed to have such strong individuals with a desire to 
make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can be. Ms. 
Lawson is one of those people and that is why Madam Speaker I rise in 
tribute to her today.
