|
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
honor Katie-Rose Newton for her outstanding work as an intern in the |
|
|
office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The intern so nice they named her twice, Katie-Rose |
|
|
Newton takes great pains to ensure that everyone understands that |
|
|
her first name is not Katie and her second name is not Rose-Newton; |
|
|
it's Katie-Rose or Ms. Newton or nothing, and rather than deal with |
|
|
this confusion, the staff affectionately dubbed her "K-Roz"; she |
|
|
wears it well, as she does her clothes, being a fashionista's |
|
|
fashionista, and the only intern in living memory who was trusted to |
|
|
give her boss fashion advice; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pretending to know nothing about sports, Ms. Newton |
|
|
does in fact know more about Tony Stewart than Mr. Stewart knows |
|
|
about himself, and she carries his torch proudly despite his recent |
|
|
defeat by Jeff Gordon at the Samsung 500; in the same spirit of |
|
|
defiance, she insists on dating an Aggie, sorely testing the |
|
|
tolerance of an office full of Longhorns; she earned the coveted |
|
|
office Gold Star more than any other intern, in large part because |
|
|
of her deep devotion to the Correspondence Management System, |
|
|
although she did come in second in a closely fought battle to |
|
|
determine the fastest in-house CMSer; this bitter loss did not go |
|
|
unnoticed by the chief of staff, who also one-upped Ms. Newton by |
|
|
turning a whopping 30 years old on that same fateful day on which |
|
|
she turned a mere 21; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A diligent and meticulous worker, Katie-Rose Newton |
|
|
contributed greatly to the office's smooth operation and sense of |
|
|
camaraderie, and it is most fitting to recognize her for a job well |
|
|
done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Katie-Rose Newton for her service as an |
|
|
intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and |
|
|
extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Newton as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
