                   TRIBUTE TO MAYOR CARROL DAUGHERTY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JO BONNER

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 28, 2013

  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Mayor Carrol 
Daugherty, a respected public servant and good friend who is stepping 
down after 42 years at helm of the Town of McIntosh, Alabama.
   Born and raised in McIntosh, Mayor Daugherty is a graduate of Leroy 
High School and Huffstetler Business College in Mobile.
   A consummate businessman and civic leader, he founded CMS 
Construction Company in Saraland. While many would be content to focus 
all their talents toward leading an important and successful business, 
like CMS Construction, Mayor Daugherty has devoted an equal amount of 
time to improving his community and South Alabama through a combination 
of public service and volunteerism.
   It must be noted that Mayor Daugherty's community service 
achievements are far ranging and considerable. He helped organize 
McIntosh Christian Academy. He was a founder and board member of 
Southwest Bank, formerly known as Washington County State Bank. He is a 
former Board Member of Friends of Searcy Hospital in Mt. Vernon; Board 
Member of North Mobile Community Hospital in Satsuma; Charter Board 
Member of Southwest Alabama Health Services in McIntosh and a Charter 
Member and one of the organizers of the McIntosh Betterment 
Association.
   Mayor Daugherty helped organize the McIntosh Volunteer Fire 
Department and was a staunch supporter of the McIntosh Rescue Squad. 
Furthermore, he helped establish the McIntosh Public Branch of the 
Washington County Library with the help of his late wife, Melva Jean, 
and area industry leaders.
   Mayor Daugherty is a former Board Member of the Alabama Sheriffs' 
Boys Ranch and was appointed by Governor George C. Wallace to serve on 
the Board of Directors of the Alabama Department of Labor Management 
Committee.

   He also was the Business Representative of Millwright Local 2734 for 
32 years, Secretary for the Carpenters, Millwright and Pile Drivers 
Mobile District Council for 29 years, and President of the Alabama 
State Council of Carpenters for 18 years.
   Given all these accomplishments, it is remarkable that Mayor 
Daugherty also found time to lead the Town of McIntosh for all 42 years 
since its incorporation in 1970. Yet, he has done just that with an 
equal dedication to public service and integrity.
   On behalf of the people of South Alabama, I wish Mayor Daugherty the 
very best as he leaves public service and embarks on a well-deserved 
retirement.
