Portrait unveiling honors former Speaker Wilkins
In Columbia a portrait of former House Speaker David Wilkins was unveiled in the chamber he led for 11 years. The Greenville Republican, who resigned last June to become U S ambassador to Canada, received seven standing ovations as lawmakers recalled his leadership during key battles. Bobby Harrell praised Wilkins for guiding the state through tough times while Harry Ott and others lauded his fairness and bipartisanship.
