   05/18/06  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-10

TO HONOR AND THANK THE HONORABLE JAMES GLADNEY MCGEE III OF FLORENCE FOR HIS NINE YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF FLORENCE COUNTY AS WELL AS THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES TO HIM IN ALL OF HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, to serve the State of South Carolina as a member of the General Assembly is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a South Carolinian; and

Whereas, born July 22, 1959, in Darlington County, Representative James Gladney McGee III "Jim" is the son of James G. McGee, Jr., and Claire Redman McGee; and

Whereas, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Carolina in 1982, and after an illustrious career in broadcasting, he attended the University of South Carolina School of Law and obtained his Juris Doctorate degree in 1995; and

Whereas, Representative McGee is the devoted husband of Kathy M. Shirley, and together they have one child, James G. McGee IV; and

Whereas, Representative McGee is a member of the South Carolina and Florence County Bar Associations and is an active member of Pisgah United Methodist Church; and

Whereas, during his service in the House of Representatives, he was a valued member of the House Judiciary Committee until he moved on to the powerful Ways and Means Committee where he continued to make a significant impact for his constituents in House District 63; and

Whereas, elected to the House of Representatives in 1997, Representative McGee has made a lasting impact on members and staff alike with his gregarious personality, and his presence and the constant smile on his face will be sorely missed; and

Whereas, Representative Jim McGee has served both his State and his community with pride and distinction, and the Palmetto State is truly grateful for the time, energy, and commitment he has made during his nine-year tenure in the House of Representatives. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor and thank the Honorable James Gladney McGee III of Florence for his nine years of service to the citizens of Florence County as well as the State of South Carolina and extend best wishes to him in all of his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable James Gladney McGee III.
