On the recordMarch 25, 2025
Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Ron Mergen on 37 years of service to the city of Paynesville. A beloved and respected member of the community, unsurprisingly, last year, he was voted Boss of the Year. I know his coworkers are sad to see him go, but I also know he won't be a stranger. He has been named the grand marshal of this year's Paynesville Town and Country Days parade. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ron so much for his service to the community and congratulate him on a well-earned retirement. ____________________
