Senate Resolution No. 84 honors Leopoldo 'Polo' Palacios for his significant contributions to the Pharr community. The resolution recognizes his extensive service and commitment to public service, which has positively impacted the lives of many residents in the area. The recognition comes as Polo Palacios received the inaugural Polo Palacios Service Award, highlighting the standards of excellence he has set for future community leaders.
