VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

2/23/2005

TO COMMEND BENJAMIN PARKER MUSTIAN, FORMER CHIEF COUNSEL TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, FOR HIS OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE COMMITTEE AND HIS DEDICATION TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES TO HIM IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, Ben Mustian joined the House Judiciary Committee as Staff Counsel in July of 2000 and became Chief Counsel in September of 2003; and

Whereas, beloved by staff and members alike, he is known for his kind nature, his deep voice, and his infectious laugh; and

Whereas, his experience and knowledge proved invaluable to the Judiciary Committee as it examined complex legislation particularly in the areas of Constitutional Law, Campaign Finance, and Ethics; and

Whereas, the Judiciary Committee and members of the House of Representatives were fortunate to have Ben to rely on when it took on the mammoth task of Redistricting in 2001 and again in 2003. He quickly distinguished himself with his impressive computer skills and helped to guide the House through the cumbersome process of mapping and remapping members' districts; and

Whereas, the Judiciary Committee and its staff will miss "Benjamina", as he was affectionately known by staff, and will find it difficult to replace this hard-working, talented, and congenial man who was often prone to give a "little knowing wink" to special friends; and

Whereas, though he has left the House in pursuit of developing his legal skills in the regulatory area, we can all take comfort in the fact that we can catch up with him at the Publick House if we get there early enough; and

Whereas, the members of the Judiciary Committee and the South Carolina House of Representatives express their gratitude to Ben for his hard work and the professionalism with which he did the work of the committee and House. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina commend Benjamin Parker Mustian, Former Chief Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, for his outstanding service to the committee and his dedication to the South Carolina House of Representatives and extend best wishes to him in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Benjamin Parker Mustian.
