     Introduced By: Representatives Mattiello, Shekarchi, Lima, Edwards, and Kennedy

     Date Introduced: June 06, 2019

     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, Monday, March 17, 1986, was St. Patrick's Day. It also happened to be the

day that Carole Dumont joined the staff of the Rhode Island General Assembly; and

     WHEREAS, Access to government information is part of the foundation of a democracy.

Carole has been an integral part of the process of disseminating that information through her

work in both graphics and audio within the Department of Capitol Television for the Rhode

Island House of Representatives and the Rhode Island Senate; and

     WHEREAS, Using the Rhode Island Cable Television Statewide Interconnect System,

Capitol Television televises all sessions of the House and Senate, as well as hearings of the House

Finance Committee, select hearings of additional committees, and various press conferences and

special events; and

     WHEREAS, Carole's most recent duties as Master Controller require juggling multiple

assignments, meticulous attention to detail, tireless energy coordinating the many late night

hearings, and a very large coffee mug; and

     WHEREAS, Previous to joining the team at Capitol TV, Carole had gained invaluable

knowledge in the communications field through her employment at WPRI, Channel 12, and

WCVB, Channel 5 in Boston; and

     WHEREAS, Carole is a resident of the City of East Providence, where she shares her

home with Abe, a beautiful black lab and a number of assorted additional pets. Upon retirement

she hopes to enjoy some well-deserved time to travel and hang with her friends and pets; and

     WHEREAS, Carole Dumont's departure leaves not only very large shoes to fill, but also

an indelible mark on the co-workers and legislators who have had the good fortune to work by

her side. By virtue of her numerous years of devoted service, she is eminently worthy of our

recognition and praise; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

Providence Plantations hereby expresses its appreciation and gratitude to Carole Dumont for her

more than thirty-three years of dedicated service to the General Assembly and the people of the

State of Rhode Island, and wishes her well in all the years to come; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Ms. Carole Dumont.
