Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson, R-Howard, today, praised Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources Mike DiBerardinis, on the House Floor for his six years of service to the Commonwealth, and his dedication to Rural Pennsylvania.

Transcript
Madam Speaker, I come to the floor today to honor a man that exemplifies public service.
A man that hails from the big city of Philadelphia, but who has had a profound impact on my rural district.
Secretary Mike DiBerardinis, has served the Rendell Administration and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with distinction for the past six years as the head of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, or DCNR.
And while I have only had limited interaction with the Secretary personally, his work on the Pennsylvania Wilds Initiative – a nature tourism program that encompasses my district – speaks volumes of his character and his dedication to rural Pennsylvania.
Under the Secretary’s leadership, DCNR has taken the PA Wilds from a concept to a budding program – highlighting the beautiful landscape and many attractions of central and northwestern Pennsylvania.
From hiking, to biking, backpacking, and skiing, the PA Wilds has it all.
In fact, this past summer, the Secretary was in my home town, breaking ground on the state’s first Nature Inn, in Bald Eagle State Park – adding yet another component to an already robust State Park System.
So while tomorrow is the Secretary’s last day at the helm, I want to say thank you.
Thank you for your service to rural Pennsylvania – your leadership and vision has made a lasting impression.
Thank you, Madam Speaker.
