“I rise today to honor those communities designated as All-America Cities, particularly the city of Evansville in my district. Evansville is to be commended and should take pride for being recognized by the National Civic League as an All-America City. Evansville, like all of southwest and west central Indiana, is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. The city has a rich heritage and its citizens hold dear Hoosier values like faith, family and hard work. The All-America City Award recognizes in Evansville an exemplary grass-roots community approach to problem-solving where community members, government businesses and nonprofit organizations work together to address critical local issues. The National Civic League recognized Evansville, Indiana, as a community that cooperatively tackles challenges and achieves results. The All-America City Award is America's original and most prestigious community recognition award. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me and the other cosponsors of this resolution in commending Evansville and the other cities honored by the National Civic League.”
