Read the first time May 22, 2008.

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1403) to request that the Department of Transportation name the bridge that crosses the Lynches River which forms the boundary for Chesterfield and Lancaster Counties, etc., respectfully

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE THAT CROSSES THE LYNCHES RIVER WHICH FORMS THE BOUNDARY FOR CHESTERFIELD AND LANCASTER COUNTIES ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 THE "JUDGE PAUL M. BURCH BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS BRIDGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "JUDGE PAUL M. BURCH BRIDGE".

Whereas, the Honorable Paul M. Burch was born on February 10, 1954 in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of William B. and Laura Arant Burch; and

Whereas, he obtained the following degrees from the University of South Carolina: Bachelor of Science in 1976; Master of Arts in 1978; and Doctor of Juris Prudence in 1980; and

Whereas, Judge Burch is married to the former Kimberly Lee Thomas, and together they are the proud parents of three children; and

Whereas, he is a faithful member and officer of the Pageland United Methodist Church; and

Whereas, from 1983 to 1988, he served as a member of the Chesterfield County Council, and from 1988 to 1991, he served as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives; and

Whereas, for thirty-six years he, has been a member of the Pageland Volunteer Fire Department, and for six years he was an officer with the Pageland Police Department; and

Whereas, since 1991, he has served as a Judge of South Carolina's Fourth Judicial Circuit; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to forever recognize the long service to this State that Judge Burch has rendered as a church leader, law enforcement officer, volunteer fireman, elected official, and circuit court judge by having a bridge named in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the Department of Transportation name the bridge that crosses the Lynches River which forms the boundary for Chesterfield and Lancaster Counties along South Carolina Highway 9 the "Judge Paul M. Burch Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this bridge that contain the words "Judge Paul M. Burch Bridge".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
