with an abundance of resources, including natural springs and |
|
fertile soil; and |
|
WHEREAS, The city is a center for academics; home to Texas |
|
State Technical College, McLennan Community College, and Baylor |
|

|
WHEREAS, Citizens of Waco are making important economic, |
|
educational, and cultural contributions to Texas while maintaining |
|
the attractive qualities that make our best small cities such |
|

|
fitting to take this opportunity to honor this fine city; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
