By Flores                                             H.R. No. 1110
         76R16792(12) WMS-D                           
                                 R E S O L U T I O N
 1-1           WHEREAS, Billy Leo has recently won election as mayor of the
 1-2     City of La Joya, and his desire to serve his fellow citizens as a
 1-3     public official makes him worthy of special legislative
 1-4     recognition; 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, Billy Leo has
1-15     joined the proud tradition of citizen leadership that has been our
1-16     nation's trademark for more than two centuries, and he can take
1-17     justifiable pride in the role he has played in this noble legacy;
1-18     now, therefore, be it
1-19           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-20     Legislature hereby congratulate Billy Leo on his recent election as
1-21     mayor of the City of La Joya and extend to him warmest best wishes
1-22     for future success; and, be it further
1-23           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
1-24     prepared for Billy Leo as an expression of high regard by the Texas
 2-1     House of Representatives.
