DANIEL LIPINSKI\n\n                              of illinois\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Tuesday, December 16, 2014\n\n  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kathleen Therese\nMeany who will retire from her position as President of the Board of\nCommissioners of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) of\nGreater Chicago.\n   Commissioner Meany is a former professor of Political Science. She\ntaught at Harold Washington College, one of the City Colleges of\nChicago. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Roosevelt\nUniversity and her Master's Degree from Harvard University's John F.\nKennedy School of Government.\n   Commissioner Meany was elected to the Board of Commissioners in 1990\nand served as Vice President for 16 years. Her eight fellow\nCommissioners then unanimously elected her to serve as President in\nJanuary 2013. She also serves as Chairman of the Ethics Committee and\nthe Pension, Human Resources and Civil Service Committee, as well as\nVice Chairman for the Federal Legislation Committee, the Finance\nCommittee and the Maintenance and Operations Committee.\n   One of her accomplishments on the MWRD Board was the introduction of\na program to collect and properly dispose of household hazardous waste,\nwhich had previously been discharged indiscriminately into the sewage\nsystem. I commend Commissioner Meany for always looking out for the\nbest interests of the people she represents and hope that future\ncommissioners will look to her as a fine example.\n   Commissioner Meany has made it her duty to keep the communities of\nthe Chicago area connected to the MWRD's operations. She is truly a\ndedicated public official and it is only appropriate that the Kathleen\nTherese Meany Presidential Garden was dedicated to her on June 20th in\nCicero, Illinois.\n   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Commissioner\nMeany for all she has done for the Chicago area and wish her all the\nbest as she moves forward after retiring from the Board.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2014-12-16-pt1-PgE1847-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9292130125686526, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
