TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE JAMES J. "JIMMY" BAILEY OF CHARLESTON FOR HIS EXEMPLARY SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE HOUSE AND TO WISH HIM THE VERY BEST IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly have learned with deep regret that the Honorable James J. "Jimmy" Bailey, a member of the House of Representatives from Charleston County representing House District 110, has indicated that it is his intention not to offer for reelection to the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Jimmy Bailey first began his service in the House in 1989, and during his tenure as a member of the General Assembly he has represented the citizens of his district and the citizens of Charleston County and the State of South Carolina with distinction; and
Whereas, his experience in the private sector as a real estate developer and investor enabled him to be an effective voice on the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee where he presently serves as well as on the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee where he previously served; and
Whereas, he also has been an influential member of the Charleston County Legislative Delegation serving as its Reassessment Committee Chairman from 1992-94, Chairman of the County Council Liaison Committee from 1989-92; and as Treasurer of the Delegation from 1992 to the present; and
Whereas, Jimmy Bailey, while serving as Chairman of the Reassessment Committee, worked tirelessly in an effort to bring about property tax relief for the citizens of South Carolina. Also, while serving as Chairman of the Wildlife and Environmental Committee of the delegation, he conducted a public forum to help bring about agreement between the mariculture industry and citizens of the lowcountry area in order to preserve and protect the natural coastal environment; and
Whereas, it is with considerable sadness that the members of the General Assembly shall say goodbye to one of its most personable members at the end of the 1994 session; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly thank Jimmy Bailey on behalf of the people of his district and the people of Charleston County and the State of South Carolina for all he has done to make state government an effective instrument for helping the citizens of this State upon the occasion of his retirement from the South Carolina House of Representatives. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly hereby commend the Honorable James J. "Jimmy" Bailey of Charleston for his exemplary service as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives upon the occasion of his retirement from the House and wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable James J. "Jimmy" Bailey.
