Bill to honor former lobbyist

Roger Bone may get one last bill through the legislature.

The former lawmaker and longtime lobbyist, who died on Jan. 25 of cancer, had his hand in a number of bills over the years.

Now, the legislature is set to recognize his achievements with a joint resolution.

The resolution "honors the life and memory of Roger Bone and expresses the appreciation of this State and its citizens for the service he rendered," it reads.

Bone served in the 1979 session of the House, later worked as a legislative liaison to Speaker Liston Ramsey, and founded his own lobbying firm in 1987.

The bill is sponsored by House Democratic Leader Hugh Holliman and longtime Reps. William Wainwright, Harold Brubaker and Dan Blue.
