|
cities; and |
|

a number of factors, including safety, health care, home |
|
affordability, job growth, diversity, leisure activities, and |
|
quality of schools, along with such intangibles as community |
|
spirit; and |
|
WHEREAS, Money praised McKinney's blend of vintage charm and |
|
modern amenities, as exemplified by its historic downtown square; |
|
among the many assets of this thriving community are its variety of |

Dallas as well as its easy access to golf courses and luxuriant |
|
green space; and |

|
confirmation of the high quality of life enjoyed by its citizens, |

|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
