R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Matthew McRoberts has rendered exemplary service as a legislative intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle throughout the 79th Legislative Session; and WHEREAS, One of the hardest-working members of the staff, Mr. McRoberts has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty; in addition to diligently performing his day-to-day duties, he has also earned recognition as the office carpenter, having constructed at least one fireplace mantle and a set of shelves since his arrival; and WHEREAS, Mr. McRoberts has accepted his fair share of thankless and grueling tasks during the session, always returning the next day for more of the same; volunteering for more than 30 hours a week, he was even entrusted to try his hand at crafting legislation, and he has done well at each new task he has been given; and WHEREAS, Always on time and eager to work, Mr. McRoberts was unfortunately forced out of the running for the perfect attendance award after what has come to be known as the "McRoberts Truck Burglary Incident," but his colleagues have found him nearly perfect in every other way; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas Legislature hereby commend Matthew McRoberts for his outstanding tenure as a legislative intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mr. McRoberts as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
