SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 85
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the electrical utility line and generation workers of
	Texas for their heroic efforts during the catastrophic 2021
	winter storm; and
	WHEREAS, When the winter storm struck the State of Texas on
	the weekend of February 13 and 14, arctic blasts dropped
	temperatures to single digits across the state, and by late
	Sunday night, problems with the state's power grid had left
	millions of Texans without electrical power; and
	WHEREAS, Electrical utility line and generation workers
	throughout Texas responded by working tirelessly around the
	clock in extremely adverse conditions to restore power to the
	state's communities; and
	WHEREAS, Due to their courage, hard work, and fortitude,
	lives were saved and facilities and homes eventually were
	restored to order; it is truly fitting that the line and
	generation workers receive special recognition for the vital
	role they played in helping Texans to recover from this
	devastating event; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
	Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the electrical utility line
	and generation workers of Texas and extend to them sincerest
	gratitude for their perseverance and success in restoring
	electrical power to the people of Texas; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of their outstanding service.
