A Concurrent Resolution recognizing National Lineman

their lives high atop power lines to keep electricity flowing; and

economy by maintaining the energy infrastructure that powers homes
and businesses; and

power local communities and keep people safe during emergencies.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE 1ST SESSION
