[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 2] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages 2168-2169] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING RETIRING WEST SENECA TOWN COUNCILMAN CHRISTOPHER OSMANSKI ______ HON. BRIAN HIGGINS of new york in the house of representatives Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Christopher Osmanski, retiring councilman from the great town of West Seneca. I have known Chris and his family for many years and I am proud to honor his dedication to effective public service for the residents of the Town of West Seneca. Few public officials [[Page 2169]] love their town the way in which Christopher Osmanski does, and his public acts have always had the intention of making life in the town of West Seneca better for those so fortunate enough to live there. While Chris's official service has come to an end, it is a virtual certainty that he will remain active in local civic affairs. That is a good thing, for the town of West Seneca is better for the active public service of individuals like Christopher Osmanski. I want to thank you, Madam Speaker, for offering me this opportunity to honor the public service of retiring Town of West Seneca Councilman Christopher Osmanski, and I hope that you will join me in offering to Mr. Osmanski this Congress's best wishes of good fortune and Godspeed in all of his future endeavors. ____________________
