Public Works committee; in 1996, she moved to the Natural Resources committee and
remained in this position until her retirement; and
WHEREAS, over the course of her impressive career, Su has served the legislature
for forty-four regular sessions, forty-four extraordinary sessions, and under seven governors
and eleven speakers; her passion for legislative work is evidenced by her nearly four-and-a-
half decades of dedicated service to the legislature, and she is most deserving of recognition
and gratitude for her amazing career.
