|
|
truly deserving of our gratitude and admiration, and Laurie |

commitment, dedication, and cheerful disposition were much |
|
|
appreciated by her colleagues; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Hernandez's expertise in the area of health and |
|
|
human services was particularly valuable to both Representative |

with questions relating to these areas, she saw firsthand the |
|
|
ability of public officials to have an impact on policy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Hernandez is a graduate student at the School of |

enrich and inform her experience as a social worker; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her coworkers are sorry to see her tenure |

end, they share her excitement in a future that is bright with |
|
|
promise; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Laurie Hernandez for her service as a |
|
|
legislative intern with the Texas House of Representatives and |

|
|
happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Hernandez as an expression of high regard by the |
