SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 107



	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 

recognize Joan Light, who is retiring from the Office of the 

Comptroller of Public Accounts on August 31, 2005, after almost 

35 years of loyal service to the state; and

	WHEREAS, Joan began working for the comptroller's office 

in the Tax Records Division in 1969, when Robert S. Calvert was 

comptroller; over the years she has seen many advancements and 

has been a vital part of much progress in the office; and

	WHEREAS, In 1976, she was promoted to a supervisory 

position in the same division, which was renamed the Revenue 

Processing Division; she became manager of disbursements in 

Revenue Accounting in 1980 and managed Suspense, Allocations, 

Refund, and Warrant Hold Sections; in 1981, she helped organize 

a new tax division, Bingo Tax; she set up office policies and 

procedures and designed forms; and

	WHEREAS, Joan transferred to the Data Services Division 

in 1984, where her responsibilities included managing technical 

writing and the technical library; she began her work in the 

agency's Business Continuity and Recovery Program in 1993 and 

has since conducted many workshops and made presentations at 

numerous state and national conferences; and

	WHEREAS, Throughout her service with the state, Joan 

has handled her responsibilities with exceptional skill and 

dedication; she is admired and respected by her colleagues, and 

her presence in the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts 

will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 

79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend Joan Light 

on her exemplary career and her many contributions to this state 

and extend to her best wishes for the retirement years ahead; 

and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 

her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

                                                                      Barrientos
