| WHEREAS, Many proud members of the Texas Association of | ||
| Counties are gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, in observance | ||
| of County Government Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Formed in 1969, TAC represents all 254 of the | ||
| state's counties; it coordinates and augments the efforts of | ||
| county officials to deliver responsive government, and it | ||
| promotes the interests of local government; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through TAC, counties unite to better meet the | ||
| challenges of contemporary society; the organization supports | ||
| the endeavors of county officials and facilitates greater | ||
| efficiency; it offers training and education, gathers | ||
| information on issues and best practices, and provides a wide | ||
| variety of services, from email and webhosting to a risk | ||
| management pool, a health and employee benefits pool, and an | ||
| unemployment compensation group account fund; and | ||
| WHEREAS, TAC communicates to the general public, making | ||
| citizens aware of how their county government serves them; in | ||
| turn, it shares the counties' perspective with the state leaders | ||
| who can advance their ability to operate in the most effective | ||
| manner; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The National Association of Counties has | ||
| designated April 2023 as National County Government Month; the | ||
| observance highlights the many responsibilities handled by | ||
| counties, among them public safety and justice, emergency | ||
| response, elections management, recordkeeping, health care for | ||
| the indigent, and mental health care; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each day, county officials work diligently to | ||
| improve quality of life for local residents, and by amplifying | ||
| their contributions, the Texas Association of Counties helps to | ||
| strengthen communities all across the state; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as County | ||
| Government Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of | ||
