Mister Speaker, I rise today to recognize Papillion, Nebraska's Mayor, David Black, as a paragon of public service and remarkable stewardship.
Through more than two decades of service to the people of Papillion, Mayor Black helped guide the city into the thriving economic hub it is today.
This month, he announced that he will not seek reelection, concluding 17 and a half years as mayor and nearly five additional years serving the city in other roles.
Mayor Black leaves behind a strong foundation built on partnership with an exceptional professional staff and the business community.
Decades of engagement and community outreach have produced clear results, attracting firms such as Google and Facebook to expand in Papillion.
He will be deeply missed by the people of Papillion, and I am hopeful he will continue his commitment to public service in the future.
Mayor Black has more than earned the opportunity to spend additional time with his family once his final term concludes. Papillion, Mister Speaker, is a special place- and Mayor Black's legacy is yet another example of that truth. Thank you for your outstanding public service.
