A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 521 IN CLARENDON COUNTY, BEGINNING AT THE SUMTER COUNTY LINE AND ENDING AT THE WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY LINE THE "JOHN C. LAND III HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE SIGNS OR MARKERS AT THIS LOCATION THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "JOHN C. LAND III HIGHWAY".

Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, John C. Land III has been a life long public servant; and

Whereas, he earned a certificate in Vocational Forestry from the University of Florida in 1960, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina in 1965, and a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of South Carolina Law School in 1968; and

Whereas, he served as South Carolina Highway Commissioner from 1971 to 1974; and

Whereas, he was elected to serve in the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1975 and served for one term; and

Whereas, he was then elected to serve in the South Carolina State Senate in 1977 where he has served continually representing over this period of time, counties to include Sumter, Clarendon, Lee, Florence, and Calhoun; and

Whereas, he was elected to serve as the South Carolina State Senate Democratic Majority Leader serving from 1993 to 2000; and

Whereas, he was elected to serve as the South Carolina State Senate Democratic Minority Leader serving from 2000 to present; and

Whereas, he and his wife, Marie Adell Mercogliano, were blessed with three children, who with his wife Marie, have contributed thousands of hours to a wide spectrum of community service projects; and

Whereas, his three children, John Calhoun IV, Frances Ricci, and William Ceth, have together blessed their parents with seven grandchildren who are all residing in Clarendon County; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to recognize the legacy of this son of South Carolina by naming the portion of South Carolina Highway 521 in Clarendon County that stretches from the Sumter County line to the Williamsburg County line. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 521, in Clarendon County, beginning at the Sumter County line and ending at the Williamsburg County line "John C. Land III Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location that contain the words "John C. Land III Highway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
