After 50 years working in state government, Rosa Kelley knows how to get things done.
In fact, Kelley's friends and co-workers say it's hard to find something that Kelley doesn't know, Kevin Kiley reports.
"She knows everything about everything about everybody," said state Rep. Tricia Cotham, a Charlotte Democrat.
Kelley, 82, is a legislative assistant to Cotham but has worked in all three branches of state government during the past five decades.
Family and friends, including several lawmakers, gathered in the Legislative Office Building on Wednesday to recognize Kelley for her years working for the state Supreme Court, the State Board of Education and several members of the state House.
Kelley has worked at the legislature, a place where party labels matter, for 20 years. But even though Kelley is a Democrat, Cotham is the first Democrat she has worked for in the legislature.
