Whereas, the members of the House, by this resolution, would like to recognize the outstanding service Judge Westbrook has rendered to Lexington County and the State of South Carolina on the occasion of this truly deserved honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives commend the Honorable Marc H.
