A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
COMMENDING AND THANKING THE HONORABLE J.
MICHAEL BAXLEY OF DARLINGTON COUNTY, OUR
DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE IN THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY, FOR HIS OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE AS
A LEGISLATOR, AND EXTENDING BEST WISHES TO HIM
FOR HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS IN ALL OF HIS FUTURE
ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, since 1987, the Honorable John Michael (Mike) Baxley
has represented the citizens of House District Number 65
(Chesterfield, Darlington, Kershaw, and Lee counties) in the
General Assembly; and
Whereas, for the past twelve years Representative Baxley has
labored tirelessly for the best interests of his constituents and for
the good of the State; and
Whereas, he was Chairman of the Freshman Caucus in the House
of Representatives from 1987 to 1988, has been a member of the
House Judiciary Committee since 1987, and has served on the
Joint Legislative Committee on AIDS, the Joint Legislative Solid
Waste Disposal Study Committee, and the Joint Legislative
Committee on the Problems of the Disabled; and
Whereas, he was named 1988 Legislator of the Year by the South
Carolina American Ex-Prisoners of War, 1989 Legislator of the
Year by the South Carolina Association of the Deaf, 1989
Legislator of the Year by the South Carolina National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People Youth
Division, and 1991 Legislator of the Year by the South Carolina
Rural Water Association; and
Whereas, Mike is practically uniquely respected and admired by
a very broad cross-section of society for his intelligence, his
leadership, his vision, his determination, his hard work, and most
especially, his compassion; he has meant much for progress in his
beloved Palmetto State, has truly left his mark on state
government, and he has been a great friend to all of his legislative
colleagues; and
Whereas, he has decided not to seek reelection to the House of
Representatives in 1998, a fact which is unfortunate for the
citizens of South Carolina and sad for us, his colleagues;
however, we have every confidence that his excellent qualities
and characteristics will enable him to succeed in everything he
undertakes. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina, by this resolution, commend and thank the Honorable
J. Michael Baxley of Darlington County, our distinguished
colleague in the General Assembly, for his outstanding public
service as a legislator and extend best wishes to him for happiness
and success in all of his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the Honorable J. Michael Baxley.
