REMARKS BY CRYSTAL WADE

 

      Crystal Wade: “Thank you very much, well, good afternoon. It’s an incredible honor to be here with you all today. I don’t know many people my age who get opportunities like this so this is great. I want to welcome you to what is in my opinion one of the best cities in this region, even if I am a little biased because I’m from this area. I bet everyone of you are just so eager and ready to get this session underway. You know as I was preparing this speech it hit me, 'What on earth could an eighteen year old girl, a freshman at college and even more so at life, have to say to a group of experience Senators whose very occupation would shape the lives of thousands across the state?' And to be perfectly honest the thought was a bit intimidating but then something rose up inside of me because I believe we are living incredible times where the people of this generation are rising up to their roles and will one day be sitting in the very same chairs you find yourselves, waiting just as you are to write the pages of history. And I thought to myself, 'what an incredible thought, to stand here on this platform and look directly into the faces of history makers.' And as you go through these next months I pray that not only that the Lord will direct and guide you as you go through this session but also that you will become revitalized and infatuated with the idea that this year is going to be awesome and unlike any other. I am a freshman at the University of Washington this year and in one of my geography classes we were asked to make a sketch of how we saw Washington in relation to the rest of this world. In this lecture class, hundreds of young people began to draw many different aspects of our society. Some drew the Space Needle, others Starbucks cups and Microsoft logos, still others depicted the shape of Mt. St. Helens to the Canadian border. Now I find myself in a much larger lecture room with an incredible task and picture to be drawn of our great state. It is with so much honor and pride that I welcome you to the 2006 Legislative Session and it is my hope that this time would fill you with a new sense of purpose and expectancy as we step into this new year. Thank you.”

 

MOTION

 

      There being no objection, the Senate advanced to the third order of business.

 

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR

 

May 17, 2005

 

THE HONORABLE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS,

THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I am returning without my approval, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5719, entitled:

 

“AN ACT Relating to the community commitment disposition alternative pilot program.”

 

This bill would have provided juvenile courts with a “community commitment” alternative to committing delinquent youth to the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). The state would have paid all costs, including detention and administration. Current law already provides courts with five alternatives to DSHS commitment, but none of them include state funding of county detention costs. This bill, based on a pilot program that was used in only one case, would have encouraged the use of the new alternative instead of the existing ones, and would have unjustifiably shifted costs to the state. The existing alternatives to DSHS commitment have been effective.

 

For these reasons, I have vetoed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5719 in its entirety.

 

Respectfully submitted,

CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

For these reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill No. 5347 in its entirety.

I would like to take this chance to thank everybody for the well wishes, the blessings and the prayers during my five operations in five days but whose counting. I really appreciated it and the flowers and the notes. They were very sweet. And the black jelly beans, from Senator Thibaudeau. And the staffers, and particular staff from the Secretary of State’s office. They got my favorite TV star to sign a bunch of stuff and send it to me. What a bunch of sweeties. As you know, I am now permanently deaf in my right ear but in my committee Senator Benton already sits to my right so I won’t have to ask him to move and that kind of worked out. But I do want to thank everybody. He’s not here unfortunately, for all their good wishes and it’s due to you people, I’m sure, that I’m back.”

 

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

 

Senator Oke: “Thank you Mr. President. I just have to follow up with that elegant speech with the fact if you that look at me, you're looking at a miracle. You all are so kind and gracious this last year. Judy and I want to thank each and every one of you and I also want to thank the Governor and his wife and all of you staff people. The prayers and the people that told me that they were praying for me just went on and on and on. I’ll tell you, the VA hospital did a super job on me and I’m feeling younger, if you will, than I did a year ago. I can still remember the wheel chair and I can still remember the thought of how many days I’ve got but I just want to thank you as a, just a miracle and I’m standing here as a miracle person. I’m looking forward to enjoying another sixty days with my family. Thank you.”

 

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

 

President Owen: “Senator Oke, you might thank Judy for us for doing such an incredible job of keeping us informed and the web site. It was wonderful, did a very fine job.”

 

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

 

President Owen: “In the spirit of announcements, Senator Deccio has asked me to read a statement from him to you and I would like to do this at this time. "Before the rumors start flying, I want to inform all of you that two weeks ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.' (Let me remind you, this is about Senator Deccio.)' A bone scan had indicated that the cancer has not spread outside the prostate. I wanted to get through the session and will not start treatment until after session is over. Treatment will consist of radiation and hormone injections. I feel I have always had a deep faith and it sure comes in handy at a time like this. I ask for your thoughts and prayers and in return promise to continue to keep Senator McCaslin in line. Seriously, I thank Senator Oke for setting an example as to how you can handle a crisis and hope I can do the same, Senator Alex Deccio.' "We wish you the best, Senator."
