WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
honor McDonald's and to recognize April 26 as Salad Day 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Salad Day 2013 is being sponsored by Texas |
|
|
McDonald's owner/operators; Texas McDonald's owner/operators will |
|
|
serve salads and oatmeal to the public while providing information |
|
|
about the McDonald's system's positive impact on the state's |
|
|
economy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas McDonald's owner/operators represent a major |
|
|
economic presence in their communities; a total of 1,177 McDonald's |
|
|
restaurants operate in Texas employing more than 65,240 Texans; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas McDonald's owner/operators contribute |
|
|
significantly to the state by returning much of the revenues they |
|
|
generate to local economies; in 2012, the McDonald's system spent |
|
|
nearly $1.4 billion in Texas, returning nearly 43 cents of every |
|
|
dollar earned to local Texas economies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The McDonald's system purchases large amounts of |
|
|
Texas agricultural products, including approximately 118 million |
|
|
pounds of beef, 75.7 million pounds of flour, and 19.1 million |
|
|
pounds of onions in 2011 alone; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby welcome Texas McDonald's owner/operators to the |
|
|
State Capitol and extend to them best wishes for a successful Salad |
|
|
Day 2013; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Texas McDonald's owner/operators as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
