WHEREAS, The observance of State Lineman Appreciation Day on |
|
|
May 4, 2019, presents an ideal opportunity to recognize the |
|
|
hardworking men and women who construct and maintain the electrical |
|
|
infrastructure of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, All year long, at all times of the day and night, and |
|
|
in all weather, these skilled and courageous professionals put |
|
|
their lives at risk to ensure the safety and reliability of our |
|
|
state's electrical grid; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After storms, natural disasters, and other |
|
|
catastrophic events, linemen often serve as first responders, |
|
|
helping to make the scene safe for other public safety workers; |
|
|
linemen frequently labor under dangerous conditions, far from their |
|
|
families, and with little recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The lineman profession is steeped in personal, |
|
|
family, and professional tradition, as each generation passes down |
|
|
to the next the skills necessary to keep thousands of volts of |
|
|
electricity flowing through power lines without interruption; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This vital work is essential to our economy, our |
|
|
security, and our way of life, and it is truly a privilege to honor |
|
|
the linemen of Texas at this time; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize May 4, 2019, as State Lineman |
|
|
Appreciation Day in Texas and extend to linemen across the state |
|
|
sincere gratitude for all their contributions. |
