A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE ROBERT L. HELMLY FROM BERKELEY COUNTY FOR HIS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE AND AS A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS HIS TENURE IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY COMES TO A CLOSE.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly with deep regret have learned that Senator Robert L. Helmly from Berkeley has decided not to offer for re-election to the Senate in 1992; and

Whereas, Bobby Helmly has served with distinction as a member of the Senate since 1989 representing the citizens of District 37 in Berkeley County to the very best of his ability; and

Whereas, prior to being elected to the Senate, he served with distinction in the House of Representatives for fifteen years; and

Whereas, Bobby Helmly has been a strong voice for better government in South Carolina always putting the interests of his constituents and the general public first whether it be in matters relating to public health, insurance, economic development, or regulatory concerns; and

Whereas, he brought to the General Assembly excellent abilities and knowledge gained as a successful businessman as President of Home Telephone Company in Moncks Corner and these experiences served him well in his public duties; and

Whereas, he contributed much as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and as a member of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee during his service in the House. Upon his election to the Senate, he continued his contributions in these areas as a member of the Senate Medical Affairs and Labor, Commerce and Industry Committees. He also rendered outstanding service as a member of the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Commission and as chairman of the Health Care Planning and Oversight Committee; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly thank him on behalf of the citizens of Berkeley County, and the State of South Carolina for all that he has done as a public servant upon the occasion of his retirement from the General Assembly. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly hereby commend the Honorable Robert L. Helmly from Berkeley County for his distinguished service as a member of the South Carolina Senate and as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives as his tenure in the General Assembly comes to a close.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Senator Helmly.
