Congressman Ruben Hinojosa joined myself and the Edinburg City Council for the presentation of a series of proclamations recognizing the Edinburg Centennial. Edinburg Mayor Joe Ochoa held a small ceremony before the beginning of the first regular session of the City Council in the new city hall. Congressman Hinojosa presented a proclamation from our federal government. I followed with a similar proclamation from the state. We both presented flags that flew over our respected governments. The city later passed a proclamation.
The city hall is beautiful and certainly a far cry from the old city hall where my father served as city commissioner. I was pleased that he joined me at our new city hall. In my opening presentation I made a vague reference to my father and his generation when I remarked that our generation of leaders owed much to the giants that came before us.
