|---|
| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | honor Katie-Rose Newton for her outstanding work as an intern in the |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | WHEREAS, The intern so nice they named her twice, Katie-Rose |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | Newton takes great pains to ensure that everyone understands that |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | her first name is not Katie and her second name is not Rose-Newton; |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | it's Katie-Rose or Ms. Newton or nothing, and rather than deal with |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | this confusion, the staff affectionately dubbed her "K-Roz"; she |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | wears it well, as she does her clothes, being a fashionista's |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | fashionista, and the only intern in living memory who was trusted to |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | give her boss fashion advice; and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | WHEREAS, Pretending to know nothing about sports, Ms. Newton |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | does in fact know more about Tony Stewart than Mr. Stewart knows |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | about himself, and she carries his torch proudly despite his recent |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | defeat by Jeff Gordon at the Samsung 500; in the same spirit of |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | defiance, she insists on dating an Aggie, sorely testing the |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | tolerance of an office full of Longhorns; she earned the coveted |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | office Gold Star more than any other intern, in large part because |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | of her deep devotion to the Correspondence Management System, |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | although she did come in second in a closely fought battle to |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | determine the fastest in-house CMSer; this bitter loss did not go |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | unnoticed by the chief of staff, who also one-upped Ms. Newton by |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | turning a whopping 30 years old on that same fateful day on which |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | she turned a mere 21; and |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | WHEREAS, A diligent and meticulous worker, Katie-Rose Newton |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | contributed greatly to the office's smooth operation and sense of |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | camaraderie, and it is most fitting to recognize her for a job well |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | done; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | Legislature hereby commend Katie-Rose Newton for her service as an |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | prepared for Ms. Newton as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | House of Representatives. |
