R E S O L U T I O N

of our democracy, and members of the Capitol Press Corps have an
important responsibility to report the news and provide analysis of
events of importance to the people of this state; and

has been the house beat reporter at the Texas State Capitol since

worked in Colorado and West Virginia before moving to Texas,
garnering awards for both her writing and reporting, and she will
undoubtedly continue to earn acclaim in her new post as a
correspondent in charge of the AP's Cleveland Bureau; and

host of friends and admirers in Texas, and she will be missed as she
embarks on this exciting new chapter in her life; now, therefore, be
it
