Fellow State Employees:

I am sending my best wishes to you for Public Service Employees Recognition Week and for State Employee Recognition Day, May 4th, 2004. It is important for all Idaho citizens to recognize the work each of you performs on a daily basis to keep our great state working.

Your public service is important to our citizens. Idaho is emerging from these challenging economic times in better shape than anyone could imagine. Your integrity, hard work, and determination are an important part of that recovery.

I want to personally thank you for your extraordinary commitment and dedication to the programs and services you provide. Most importantly, I thank you for the impact you have on your fellow citizens of Idaho.

It is my honor to recognize you on this special day. Patricia and I send our warmest regards and heartfelt gratitude. With great pride, I have proclaimed May 4th as a special day to honor you.
