HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texans today have a renewed belief that the |
|
|
government closest to the people is the best government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, No other level of government is more accountable and |
|
|
responsive on a daily basis to "We the People" than Texas cities; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas cities provide critical services such as |
|
|
police and fire protection, as well as the collection and disposal |
|
|
of garbage, ensuring that citizens have safe cities in which to live |
|
|
and work; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas cities are the first, and often only, engine |
|
|
of economic development in the state, attracting businesses and |
|
|
providing infrastructure for those businesses to be successful; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas cities constantly strive to keep driving |
|
|
conditions safe and work tirelessly to maintain city streets, |
|
|
street lights, and sidewalks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas cities provide safe, clean, and reliable |
|
|
drinking water, as well as investments in drinking water and |
|
|
wastewater infrastructure to protect public health and ensure that |
|
|
there is an adequate water supply to support the state's growing |
|
|
population, businesses, and industries; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas cities also provide parks and libraries that |
|
|
improve the quality of life for individuals and the overall |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The services that cities are called on to provide by |
|
|
the citizens of Texas reflect the will of local taxpayers and allow |
|
|
people to live and work in close proximity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Those who are elected and serve at the local level do |
|
|
so largely on a voluntary basis and are best suited to determine |
|
|
what their individual communities look like; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby recognize this day as Municipal Government Day at the State |
|
|
Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation best wishes for an |
|
|
informative and enjoyable stay in Austin. |
