H.R. No. 2730
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
honor Katie-Rose Newton for her outstanding work as an intern in the
office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and
WHEREAS, The intern so nice they named her twice, Katie-Rose
Newton takes great pains to ensure that everyone understands that
her first name is not Katie and her second name is not Rose-Newton;
it's Katie-Rose or Ms. Newton or nothing, and rather than deal with
this confusion, the staff affectionately dubbed her "K-Roz"; she
wears it well, as she does her clothes, being a fashionista's
fashionista, and the only intern in living memory who was trusted to
give her boss fashion advice; and
WHEREAS, Pretending to know nothing about sports, Ms. Newton
does in fact know more about Tony Stewart than Mr. Stewart knows
about himself, and she carries his torch proudly despite his recent
defeat by Jeff Gordon at the Samsung 500; in the same spirit of
defiance, she insists on dating an Aggie, sorely testing the
tolerance of an office full of Longhorns; she earned the coveted
office Gold Star more than any other intern, in large part because
of her deep devotion to the Correspondence Management System,
although she did come in second in a closely fought battle to
determine the fastest in-house CMSer; this bitter loss did not go
unnoticed by the chief of staff, who also one-upped Ms. Newton by
turning a whopping 30 years old on that same fateful day on which
she turned a mere 21; and
WHEREAS, A diligent and meticulous worker, Katie-Rose Newton
contributed greatly to the office's smooth operation and sense of
camaraderie, and it is most fitting to recognize her for a job well
done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend Katie-Rose Newton for her service as an
intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and
extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Newton as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Riddle
