COMMENDING STEVE PICCO
Mr. CORZINE. Mr. President, I wish to commend the work of Steve Picco, who is retiring after 8 years as a board member of the Northeast-Midwest Institute. A two-term chairman of the Institute's Board of Directors, Steve served with leadership, vision, and wit.
Steve has had a distinguished career in New Jersey, with more than 20 years of experience as a regulator and practitioner in the areas of environmental and energy law. He served as Assistant Commissioner in both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and New Jersey Department of Energy and as a member of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the Delaware River Basin Commission. He currently is a partner with Reed Smith Shaw and McClay in Princeton.
The Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalitions and Institute strive to promote the region's economic vitality while preserving its environmental quality. A goal served by our States working together to influence legislative policy important to the region. Steve Picco deserves much praise for his efforts on behalf of the State of New Jersey and for ensuring that the Institute's work is relevant to the key policy issues affecting Northeastern and Midwestern States.
