AL HR725

Commends Representative John Robinson for his outstanding service as a member of the Tennessee Valley Caucus of the Alabama House of Representatives.

Recognizes the Caucus's five years of achievements since its formation on March 31, 2005, including passage of Tennessee River Protection Acts for eight counties and securing $3 million in TVA in-lieu-of-tax payments for the Valley.

Highlights the Caucus's successful passage of House Bill 44 in the 2010 Regular Session, which returns approximately $6 million to the Tennessee Valley to address education, mental health, fire protection, law enforcement, and infrastructure needs.

Acknowledges Representative Robinson's leadership in enabling the Caucus to achieve goals through collective action that would have been considered unattainable by individual legislators acting alone.
