In a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this afternoon, U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24) paid tribute to longtime Wayne County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jim Hoffman upon his retirement from a lifetime of public service. Video of Representative Katkos floor speech can be found here. His remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of Wayne Countys most dedicated public servants, Jim Hoffman, and to send him off on a well-deserved retirement. Jims esteemed career in public service began when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a young man. It continued with 30 years with the New York State Police, five terms serving his community as Town Supervisor in Williamson, and ten years as Chairman of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors. Jim has faithfully served his constituents both in the Town of Williamson and across Wayne County. Under Jims leadership, Wayne County is a better place to live. Hes lowered taxes in Williamson, kept taxes stable across the County, supported our regions vast community of growers and farmers, emerged as a leader in the fight against Plan 2014, and made the Town of Williamson the first in all of New York State tofunction with 100 percent solar power. There is no question that Jims lifetime of service deserves recognition. He has been a great friend, mentor, and confidant throughout my campaign for election and whilerepresenting the people of the 24th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. I congratulate Jim on his long and distinguished career, and wish him a happy retirement with his children and his grandchildren. Chairman Jim Hoffman will retire at the end of December. He has served as Chairman of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors for ten years and as Supervisor for the Town of Williamson for twelve years. Congressman John Katko represents the 24th Congressional District, which includes all of Onondaga, Cayuga, and Wayne Counties and a portion of Oswego County.
