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 House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as County Government | ||
Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of the Texas | ||
Association of Counties sincere best wishes for a productive and | ||
enjoyable visit to Austin. | ||
