| WHEREAS, A native son who has never cut ties with the | ||
| community where he first learned to make music, Mark Chesnutt | ||
| continues to captivate audiences around the country, and he is a | ||
| welcome presence in Austin as his fellow Golden Triangle residents | ||
| celebrate their notable region of the Lone Star State; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
