| Honoring Matt Whatley for outstanding service to the State of Ohio. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to Matt Whatley for his loyal service to the Ohio Senate; and |
| WHEREAS, Matt Whatley is a remarkable individual, for he has combined civic concern and dedication with selfless initiative to become a dynamic member of the General Assembly staff. A former budget analyst and legislative aide for the Ohio House of Representatives, he worked as a legislative aide for Senator John Carey before joining the Ohio Senate Majority Caucus as a deputy finance director in 2007 and the policy director in 2012, and he also served as a member of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee in 2008 and 2010. Throughout his tenure, he has performed his duties and fulfilled his responsibilities with the utmost efficiency and competence, and he is deserving of high praise; and |
| WHEREAS, For more than thirteen years, Matt Whatley has given generously of his time, energy, and abilities to assist the General Assembly and has demonstrated a noteworthy commitment to the success of state government. He has provided a valuable service by helping to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the legislative process, and without the efforts of individuals such as he, many services that are currently available to the constituents of our state would cease to exist; and |
| WHEREAS, Matt Whatley's contributions to the State of Ohio have been greatly appreciated by all those who have had the pleasure of working with him. He has displayed exceptional devotion, responsibility, and enthusiasm in his endeavors, and we extend best wishes for health and happiness in the years to come; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Matt Whatley on his exemplary state service and salute him as one of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to Matt Whatley. |
| I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 10, adopted by the Ohio Senate, January 22, 2013. |
