Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my dear friend, Beverly Sussman, who this week retired after serving 8 years as Buffalo Grove Village president. A dedicated civil servant, Beverly has devoted her energies to the village for more than 30 years. Focusing on revitalizing Buffalo Grove, Beverly has led on infrastructure redevelopment and attracted significant investment in development projects across the village that will benefit residents for many, many years. Significantly, she led with a focus on fiscal responsibility, all to the benefit of Buffalo Grove residents who have not had a tax increase over the past 4 years. Beverly has also focused on creating a welcoming community built on civic engagement and youth development. Of course, that is not surprising since at her core Beverly is still the teacher she was at the beginning of her career. Throughout it all, Beverly has been supported by Martin, her beloved husband of 62 years. Their greatest achievement has been their three sons and eight grandchildren. It is my great honor to thank Beverly for all she has done and to wish her and Marty health and happiness in whatever their next chapter may bring on their journey together. ____________________”
