RESOLUTION
Commending
Robert J. "Bobby" Lenihan; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Robert J. "Bobby" Lenihan has long been recognized by everyone associated with
state and local government as one of the most competent and knowledgeable
masters of the specialized arcana of taxation who has ever worked for the
Department of Revenue; and
WHEREAS,
his unparalleled work ethic epitomizes perfectly the ideal and true spirit of
public service; and
WHEREAS,
his candescent career with the department has spanned an unprecedented 35 years
and six state revenue commissioners during which time he has served superbly as
deputy state revenue commissioner from 2002 to 2006, assistant state revenue
commissioner from 1995 to 2002, executive assistant from 1976 to 1995, and
special investigator from 1971 to 1976; and
WHEREAS,
he has postponed selflessly his previously scheduled retirement from government
service in order to make his institutional knowledge available to assist the
department and Commissioner Bart L. Graham with the continued evolution of tax
collection and administration in the New Georgia Era; and
WHEREAS,
he has announced his retirement effective January 31, 2006, and it is abundantly
fitting and proper that the extraordinary attainments of this exceptional and
singular tax professional be recognized appropriately.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend Robert J. "Bobby" Lenihan for the three and one-half decades
of peerless public service that he has rendered on behalf of Georgia;
congratulate him upon his well-deserved retirement; and extend to him their most
sincere best wishes for continued health and happiness.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Robert J.
"Bobby" Lenihan.
