to generate funds from tax revenue and royalties and to create local | ||
jobs; and | ||
WHEREAS, By investing in innovative energy sources for | ||
current and future generations, Tri Global Energy is playing a | ||
critical role in furthering the prosperity of the Lone Star State, | ||

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
