Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the town of Durham for winning the national Communities in Bloom competition this year. This achievement is all the more noteworthy considering that the town of Durham suffered a devastating flood that caused more than one million dollars in damage last year.
The people of Durham have courage and character. They maintained the beauty and quality of their town despite the adversity.
I know my colleagues in the House join me in congratulating the town for a job well done.
