It is with great honor that I rise before this body of Congress to recognize Dr. John Warner of Breckenridge, Colorado. John has served on the town council of Breckenridge for 14 years and the last 8 years as mayor. Being mayor of one of the country's premier resort communities has its challenges, but John has guided his community through both growth and uncertainty with integrity and passion. His steadfast commitment to making the place that residents call home a better place is an inspiration to us all. The hallmark of John's tenure was sustainability, and many important projects resulted from his efforts, like the new recycling facility, three solar projects, hybrid vehicles in the town's fleet, and a sustainability certification program for businesses. Despite many complicated issues, John took each one with a calm assuredness and a balanced approach. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise to pay tribute to Dr. John G. Warner on behalf of the residents of the Second Congressional District and myself. His contributions to the town of Breckenridge will remain his legacy for many years to come. ____________________
