SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 503
WHEREAS, Allan Rubino of Temple has served the Texas Health
and Human Services Commission for a half century; and
WHEREAS, Hired as an auditor in 1972, when the agency was
known as the Texas Department of Public Welfare, Mr. Rubino can
recall the days when his office received 100-pound boxes of
financial statements and general ledgers to be audited; he
received computer training in 1983, when technology eliminated
the need for calculators filled with paper tape and pens and
pencils fell out of fashion; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Rubino worked as a field auditor for some
time, allowing him to learn new things as he talked to many
interesting people among the state contractors; over the years,
he has been delighted to see the workforce grow more diverse, and
he now enjoys becoming friends with coworkers from all over the
world, including Africa, India, and Sri Lanka; and
WHEREAS, In 2002, Mr. Rubino retired, but within a month,
he was back on the job; he is now an Auditor IV in the Provider
Finance division; in his free time, he likes attending high
school and college football games and taking day trips around the
state with his wife; they are the proud parents of a son, and the
family has traveled to all 50 states; and
WHEREAS, Allan Rubino has greatly benefited his fellow
citizens through his enduring commitment to public service, and
he has made many significant contributions to the HHSC during his
remarkable career; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby honor Allan Rubino for 50 years of service to
the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Mr. Rubino as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
