Governor's Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs September 15, 2005
Whereas, the character of Pennsylvania has been shaped by the various religious, ethnic, and national groups which have settled within its boundaries and this diversity is the very fiber that has allowed us to grow, prosper, and succeed as a Commonwealth; and
Whereas, as one of the fastest growing communities in the Commonwealth, the Latino community has had a positive impact upon business and industry and has enhanced Pennsylvania through culture, creativity, and innovation; and
Whereas, the Latino community must be given the opportunity to continue to grow and prosper within our boundaries. Concomitantly, the Commonwealth must protect this important community against discrimination, provide Latino children with the opportunity to receive the best education possible, and increase economic development and employment possibilities in order to help enhance the social and economic status of the Latino community in Pennsylvania.
Now Therefore, I, Edward G. Rendell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution ofthe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other laws, do hereby reestablish the Governor's Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the ''Commission'') as the Commonwealth's advocate agency for its Latino citizens as hereinafter set forth.
