|
WHEREAS, Gustavo Garza has distinguished himself in more ways |
|
|
than one during his service to the Texas House of Representatives |
|
|
during the 81st Legislative Session; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Working as a legislative aide for Representative |
|
|
Eddie Rodriguez, Mr. Garza earned the nickname "El Cabrito," or |
|
|
"The Goat," for his astonishing ability to eat anything and |
|
|
everything that came into the office, and when there was nothing |
|
|
left to eat therein, he exhibited a rare aptitude for scavenging |
|
|
food from somewhere else; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Garza's social skills proved equally |
|
|
remarkable; he never failed to show up early to a reception or late |
|
|
to work, and in the course of getting to know every Capitol staffer, |
|
|
he was extremely generous in giving away all of the office's |
|
|
delicious cake; he likewise demonstrated an unerring ability to |
|
|
order the most expensive item on a menu, as well as a remarkably |
|
|
cultivated taste in $37 cocktails; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This remarkable young man's organizational skills |
|
|
consisted in keeping his entire desk, his coworker's desk, and the |
|
|
surrounding floor covered with his work; the desk itself, however, |
|
|
could always be located, from every corner of the office, by the |
|
|
smell of rotting food stashed in the drawers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In spite of all of the above, however, Mr. Garza |
|
|
demonstrated true dedication to his work and a genuine interest in |
|
|
learning more about policy issues that were new to him; always |
|
|
helpful, he happily did whatever was asked of him, and he proved |
|
|
throughout the session to be a hard worker and a genuinely good guy; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Gustavo Garza on his service as a |
|
|
legislative aide in the office of Representative Eddie Rodriguez |
|
|
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness and |
|
|
the requisite success to afford $37 cocktails in the future; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Garza as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
| |

|
Rodriguez |
