WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join the citizens of Brownsville and Texans across the state in | ||
celebrating January 28, 2015, as Brownsville Day at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Brownsville is the largest city in the lower Rio | ||
Grande Valley and is the seat of Cameron County; the southernmost | ||
city in the state, Brownsville was chartered in 1848 and was | ||
named in honor of Major Jacob Brown, who died in action in the | ||
lead-in to the Mexican War; and | ||
WHEREAS, Brownsville is a center for both the cultural | ||
heritage of the United States and that of Mexico; each year, | ||
centuries of history and tradition are celebrated at a wide array | ||
of festivals and events; the celebrations bring the two cultures | ||
together in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect; and | ||
WHEREAS, Members of the Brownsville community developed | ||
the Imagine Brownsville Comprehensive Plan in order to implement | ||
a bold vision for the future that builds on the strengths of the | ||
people and the region's unique economic assets; it is truly | ||
fitting that a day be set aside to celebrate this vibrant | ||
community's many amenities; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Brownsville on their | ||
valuable contributions to the growth and prosperity of our state | ||
and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Brownsville Day at | ||
the State Capitol; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the Brownsville delegation as an expression of high regard from | ||
the Texas Senate. | ||
