 1-1           WHEREAS, In the waning days of the 76th legislative session,
 1-2     it is an opportune time to commend Chief Clerk/Assistant
 1-3     Parliamentarian Sharon Carter, or "Slash," for she has once again
 1-4     played more roles this session than some of Hollywood's leading
 1-5     ladies; and
 1-6           WHEREAS, Now in her sixth session as assistant
 1-7     parliamentarian, the "Ice Lady" as she was dubbed by a former
 1-8     member, remains calm, cool, and collected during even the most
 1-9     intense deliberations, and her knowledge of the rules and
1-10     parliamentary matters has dovetailed quite nicely with her outside
1-11     interest as an avid hunter, though vultures have yet to be seen
1-12     circling above the podium; and
1-13           WHEREAS, Ms. Carter's adept service as parliamentarian during
1-14     each Local and Consent Calendar has certainly made quite an
1-15     impression on the speaker pro tempore, for throughout the numerous
1-16     actions that occur at the podium, she remains a reliable source of
1-17     vital information regarding each of the bills being heard; and
1-18           WHEREAS, In addition to her parliamentary duties, this
1-19     dedicated officer of the house is in her second term as chief
1-20     clerk, and she successfully takes on each new challenge like a duck
1-21     to water, though that's where the similarity ends as she could
1-22     never be considered wet behind the ears; now, therefore, be it
1-23           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-24     Legislature hereby honor Sharon Carter for her exemplary service
 2-1     this session and extend to her our heartfelt appreciation for a job
 2-2     well done; and, be it further
 2-3           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-4     prepared for Ms. Carter as an expression of high regard and
 2-5     good-natured ribbing by the Texas House of Representatives.
