Dobrinski of the House

A Concurrent Resolution recognizing National Lineman
Appreciation Day; praising linemen from Oklahoma
electric providers; and celebrating their work to
power homes, businesses, and localities across the
state.

WHEREAS, Oklahoma linemen are the true heroes of the electric
power industry because they are responsible for maintaining and
repairing electrical power grids 24 hours a day, 365 days a year;
and
WHEREAS, these dedicated professionals are often the first to
respond during storms and other catastrophic weather events so other
first responders can get to the scene safely; and
WHEREAS, linemen operate under dangerous conditions, risking
their lives high atop power lines to keep electricity flowing; and
WHEREAS, linemen also play a vital role in Oklahoma’s economy by
maintaining the energy infrastructure that powers homes, businesses,
and localities across the state; and
WHEREAS, linemen deserve recognition for their hard work to
power local communities and keep people safe during emergencies.
