A
RESOLUTION
Commending
and expressing gratitude to Bill Bahr on the occasion of his retirement; and for
other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Bill Bahr has worked tirelessly managing audio and visual broadcasts for House
Communications for the Georgia General Assembly for more than 30 years;
and
WHEREAS,
his responsibilities included the painstaking review of every bill that reached
the floor of the House of Representatives, and, although the technological and
political terrain at the capitol has changed significantly since his full-time
employment in 1984, Bill has always given special care to the thorough
documentation of legislative activity; and
WHEREAS,
Bill's personal interests include traveling, bird watching, maintaining a
wildlife habitat in his backyard, cooking, and writing speeches, books, and
poetry; and
WHEREAS,
Bill especially enjoys the rigorous physical and mental challenges posed by
Irish step dancing, and he and his wife, Dianna, are medal-winning members of
the Drake Studio of Irish Dance who compete in the southeastern Feis Circuit and
who may occasionally be seen performing at pubs and local events throughout the
year; and
WHEREAS,
Bill's future plans include running his own media company, BahrPR, where Bill
plans to use his familiarity with the political environment of lobbyists and
elected officials to provide quality promotional services in web design, print,
and event planning; and
WHEREAS,
Bill's extraordinary service in House Communications has been an invaluable
resource to the General Assembly of Georgia and to citizens throughout this
state who deserve fair and accurate documentation of the latest issues being
addressed under the Gold Dome; and
WHEREAS,
even though Bill embarks upon a bright, new enterprise, his colleagues at the
capitol cannot help feeling melancholy at the prospect of his absence at work,
and he will be profoundly missed.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body recognize and commend Bill Bahr for more than 30 years of outstanding
service with House Communications and extend to him their best wishes for
success, good health, and personal fulfillment in all of his future endeavors.
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 Bill Bahr.
