 1-1           WHEREAS, Dolores Lott has contributed greatly to the

 1-2     betterment of the San Antonio community as a city councilwoman, and

 1-3     her efforts are indeed worthy of special legislative recognition;

 1-4     and

 1-5           WHEREAS, A democratic form of government depends on the

 1-6     informed participation of its people, and foremost among the

 1-7     system's participants are those dedicated men and women who are

 1-8     willing to make the sacrifices necessary to take on the role of

 1-9     public servant; and

1-10           WHEREAS, The demands of public office are great, and the

1-11     rewards are not always immediately apparent; public servants must

1-12     continually balance the needs of their constituents with the best

1-13     use of available resources, and few issues are easily resolved; and

1-14           WHEREAS, In taking on this difficult challenge, Dolores Lott

1-15     has joined the proud tradition of citizen leadership that has been

1-16     our nation's trademark for more than two centuries, and she can

1-17     take justifiable pride in the role she has played in this noble

1-18     legacy; now, therefore, be it

1-19           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 75th Texas

1-20     Legislature hereby commend the Honorable Dolores Lott for her years

1-21     of public service and extend to her warmest best wishes for the

1-22     future; and, be it further             RESOLVED, That an official

1-23     copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Lott as an expression

1-24     of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                   McClendon

                                             _______________________________

               I certify that H.R. No. 942 was adopted by the House on May
