“TRIBUTE TO COUNCILMAN WERNER SCHON” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E2594 on Dec. 18, 2007.

TRIBUTE TO COUNCILMAN WERNER SCHON
______
HON. MIKE FERGUSON
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Monday, December 17, 2007
Mr. FERGUSON. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Councilman Werner Schon and his service to the residents of Mountainside, New Jersey.
Councilman Schon is the longest serving councilman in Mountainside history, having served for 25 years, including 3 years as council president. He has also served as the town's fire commissioner, during which time he helped to acquisition fire vehicles for his town. When the New Jersey Department of Transportation attempted to close a U-Turn on a local highway, Councilman Schon worked diligently to alert the Department about safety concerns connected with such a move, and he successfully prevented the closure.
Werner Schon is retiring from public service in Mountainside and will be honored at the town's reorganization meeting on January 2, 2008. I join the residents of Mountainside in wishing Councilman Schon many happy years of rest and relaxation with his family, and I am pleased to honor his service to Mountainside.
