H.R. No. 2698
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Brittney Rodriguez, a participant in the Frank
Madla, Jr., and Irma Rangel Legislative Internship Program of St.
Mary's University, has rendered outstanding service in the office
of State Representative Eddie Rodriguez during the 82nd Legislative
Session; and
WHEREAS, A senior at St. Mary's University with plans to
pursue a master's degree at The University of Texas, Ms. Rodriguez
distinguished herself as an intelligent, enthusiastic, and
exceedingly polite young woman, who managed to insert a certain
honorific at least once into every sentence, sir; she assisted
Representative Rodriguez with his responsibilities as a member of
the House Calendars and Criminal Jurisprudence Committees, and she
helped him prepare for a CNN interview on the issue of allowing guns
on college campuses; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Rodriguez also helped her boss snatch victory
from the jaws of sartorial defeat by sewing a button on his vest
before an appearance on the floor of the house, and she regularly
brightened the office with jokes, laughter, and visits by her dog,
Emerson, whom, oddly enough, she never called "sir"; moreover, she
proved particularly helpful in helping the representative
repeatedly revive a bill to protect the pensions of Austin
firefighters, especially the dreamy ones; and
WHEREAS, In conclusion, Ms. Rodriguez skillfully handled a
variety of duties in the office of Representative Rodriguez and
ably assisted in meeting the needs of constituents, and she may
indeed reflect proudly on her service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commend Brittney Rodriguez for her outstanding
work as an intern for State Representative Eddie Rodriguez 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. Rodriguez as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Rodriguez
