A HOUSE RESOLUTION

JOINING THE CITY OF GREER IN HONORING SOUTH CAROLINA STATE SENATOR J. VERNE SMITH FOR HIS MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS OF STATESMANSHIP ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND THIS STATE.

Whereas, Senator J. Verne Smith has served in the South Carolina Senate since 1972; and

Whereas, during this honorable tenure he has been a passionate advocate for the people of his beloved hometown of Greer; and

Whereas, the City of Greer undertakes to recognize his untiring efforts by naming January 14, 2005, "J. Verne Smith Day"; and

Whereas, banners will fly, bands will march, and bread will be broken during this event of high excitement; and

Whereas, Senator Smith and Mrs. Smith, the love of his life, will take the spotlight for a very special day set aside in his honor, just one day before he celebrates his eightieth birthday on January 15; and

Whereas, the State House of Representatives is privileged to be a part of this recognition of the long and dedicated service of one of this State's most treasured statesmen; and

Whereas, Senator Smith's individual attributes of strength and vitality have been enhanced even further by his leadership of the powerful Senate Labor, Commerce and Industry, Interstate Cooperation, and Operation and Management Committees and his productive service on the important Senate Finance, Medical Affairs, and Rules Committees; and

Whereas, the beautifully restored State House stands as a symbol of his leadership of the State House Committee during the renovation; and

Whereas, a fervent believer in the power of government to do good for the people it serves, J. Verne Smith never loses sight of all the citizens of the City of Greer, County of Greenville, and State of South Carolina who trust him to represent them effectively and with integrity; and

Whereas, although J. Verne Smith is one of the most honored and recognized of all South Carolina's leaders, having garnered numerous accolades over the years, he is certain to cherish this honor from his hometown folks. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, join the City of Greer in honoring South Carolina Senator J. Verne Smith for his more than thirty years of statesmanship on behalf of the city and this State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Senator J. Verne Smith on the occasion of "J. Verne Smith Day" on January 14, 2005.
