S. Printed 2/17/94--H.
Read the first time February 9, 1994.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1168), to request the Department of Transportation to name Highway 61 in Charleston running from Magood Road, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
DEWITT WILLIAMS, for Committee.
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME HIGHWAY 61 IN CHARLESTON RUNNING FROM MAGOOD ROAD TO BEES FERRY ROAD AS THE GLENN F. MCCONNELL EXPRESSWAY.
Whereas, Senator Glenn F. McConnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. McConnell, has served in the South Carolina Senate since 1981; and
Whereas, he is also involved in the Charleston legal and business community as an attorney in the firm of McConnell and Mulholland, and as President of CSA Galleries, Inc.; and
Whereas, Senator McConnell graduated from the College of Charleston in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree and then went on to receive his Juris Doctorate from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he has dedicated himself to politics for many years, serving as Chairman of the County Republican Party for four years and as a delegate to the Republican National Convention for three years; and
Whereas, Senator McConnell has been recognized for his exceptional service by receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in 1980 from the South Carolina Republican Party and by being named as one of the Outstanding Young Men of America; and
Whereas, Senator McConnell has always maintained an active interest in the Charleston community through his position on the Board of Directors of the Neighborhood Legal Assistance Program and his membership in many community organizations such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Scottish Society of Charleston, and the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion; and
Whereas, in order to acknowledge Senator McConnell's many accomplishments and contributions to the State of South Carolina and the citizenry of Charleston, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be fitting to name a section of South Carolina's highway system after Glenn F. McConnell. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to name the section of Highway 61 running from Magood Road to Bees Ferry Road as the Glenn F. McConnell Expressway.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Senator McConnell.
