   05/28/02  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-144

TO RECOGNIZE REPRESENTATIVE MARK STEPHEN KELLEY AS HE CONCLUDES TEN YEARS OF KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO THE CITIZENS OF HORRY COUNTY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE AND WISH HIM WELL AS HE PURSUES HIS BUSINESS INTERESTS AND DEDICATES HIS TIME TO HIS DEVOTED FAMILY.

Whereas, Representative Mark Stephen Kelley arrived on the political scene in 1993 as a newly elected member to the South Carolina House of Representatives from Horry County; and

Whereas, this Myrtle Beach restaurant owner and former member of the United States Air Force brought with him a vast knowledge of business and finance, a keen sense of duty, and a sensitivity to the everyday concerns of ordinary citizens; and

Whereas, this knowledgeable, dedicated, and sensible approach to the legislative process resulted in his growth into a much respected member of the prestigious Ways and Means Committee, where he effectively combined his understanding of finances, people, and the process to earn the respect of his fellow lawmakers as a voice of reason in the dizzying budget procedure; and

Whereas, Mark Kelley has also served as Rules Committee Chairman since December, 2000 where he discharged these duties with distinction and a sense of fairness and purpose; and

Whereas, consistent with his sensibility and his sensibleness, our esteemed colleague Mark Kelley chooses now to answer the call for increased and enhanced time with his family--his wife, the former Lisa Murie Knauth, and children Kristofer, Nicolos, Elise, and Sean Michael; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives and the State of South Carolina are the lasting beneficiaries of his dedicated service at the State House; and

Whereas, the members of the House, by this resolution, express their appreciation to this truly fine man and public servant for all his contributions to Horry County, the General Assembly, and the State of South Carolina, and wish him Godspeed as his tenure in the House comes to a close. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives recognize Mark Stephen Kelley as he concludes ten years of knowledgeable and effective service in the South Carolina House of Representatives to the citizens of Horry County and the people of this State and wish him well as he pursues his business interests and dedicates his time to his devoted family.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Representative Kelley.
