R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On March 10, 2003, The University of Texas at San 
Antonio's public budgeting and taxation class is visiting the State 
Capitol, and this occasion merits special legislative recognition; 
and
	WHEREAS, During their visit, the class will observe sessions 
of the house and senate, as well as a House Appropriations Committee 
hearing, with the goal of better understanding the state's budget 
process; and
	WHEREAS, The class instructor is Sylvia Romo, a CPA, Bexar 
County tax assessor-collector, and a former state representative of 
House District 125 in San Antonio, whose experience on the House 
Ways and Means Committee gives her remarkable insight and 
experience with regard to the complex issues her students are 
studying; and
	WHEREAS, The creation and expenditure of public monies is a 
complex and enduring challenge at all levels of government and the 
interest of these exemplary young Texans in addressing those 
problems is indeed worthy of praise; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby welcome the members of The University of Texas 
at San Antonio's public budgeting and taxation class, with their 
instructor, Sylvia Romo, to the State Capitol and commend them for 
their interest in and contributions to this demanding area of 
government; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
