TRIBUTE TO CINDY BOWEN
______
HON. SCOTT McINNIS
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Monday, February 6, 1995
Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize an outstanding Coloradan, Mrs. Cindy Bowen, on the occasion of her being awarded 1994 Commissioner of the Year.
Each year the Colorado Counties Board of Directors select a Colorado county commissioner in recognition of their achievements and contributions they have made the previous year. Cindy Bowen is no exception. Her innovative approach to problem solving made her a valuable player, not only in local politics, but in national politics as well. Through her hard work, Commissioner Bowen was instrumental in convincing Members of Congress of the need to increase funding to counties in order to compensate taxpayers for the impact of tax-exempt supporters.
Furthermore, Cindy Bowen is very active in several public land issues and participated in reviewing the Department of Interior's rangeland reform proposals. In my opinion, Cindy is a very intelligent choice to be named this years Commissioner of the Year.
[[Page E277]] Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in marking this occasion, and saluting Cindy Bowen.
