The Trustee's Office offers sincere condolences on the loss of a true friend and statesman, State Representative G.A. Hardaway Sr., this morning. Rep. Hardaway has been a valuable partner in many of the legislative and community priorities of our office especially in assisting senior citizens, helping our taxpayers, and moving our community toward financial success. He was kind enough to be our speaker at a forum held last fall on addressing student loan debt and we were working with him on legislation on that subject. Our Baby Budget Basics program for expectant parents at the Greater Memphis Financial Empowerment Center was a thought he had originally when we partnered on his Merry Christmas Baby distribution of baby supplies to the community. He was always available to help and move needed legislation through the process. Our community has lost a vital leader. Rest in peace.
