Senator Neville issued the following statement regarding the receipt of the award:
"I am deeply humbled and grateful to have been awarded this recognition. As a former county commissioner, I saw many issues with state law that plagued and handcuffed the commissioners. Our county and local officials are often those best suited to address issues since they are those closest to the people. I'm proud of the work I have done throughout my legislative career to put more power back in the hands of local governments and empower the people of my community."
