REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: "Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to place in nomination for Vice President Pro Tempore, the name of the Honorable Senator Paull Shin. It is truly with great pleasure and high honor that I stand and nominate Senator Shin and say a few words about him. I have been privileged to know the good Senator for a number of years. I think most of you know his background. He came here a number of years ago as a young boy from Korea and was adopted by an American soldier. Paull used to hang around the medical camps, like we used to see on MASH, as a young boy. This army officer fell in love with him and adopted him and brought him to America.
“Paull has a long and distinguished career. He started late, but he got an education and received a Ph.D and taught for a number of years. As I mentioned before, I was privileged to know Paull a number of years ago. We were on Trade Missions with Lieutenant Governor John Cherberg, particularly in Asia. I saw the wonderful work he does promoting the state of Washington. I saw him bring a baby back from Korea on the baby life program on our plane. He is really a remarkable person; he has been successful in business. I know that he will do a wonderful job as Vice President Pro Tempore when called on to do so. It is indeed an honor to nominate Senator Shin as Vice President Pro Tempore.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR RASMUSSEN
Senator Rasmussen: “Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I would just like to second that nomination of Senator Paull Shin. Paul and I are great friends, but he is man that has integrity, honesty and he is a friend. He is a friend to everyone. We are so honored to have him in the state of Washington to serve as our Senator. To pick him out to be our Vice President Pro Tempore is indeed a privilege. I think he and Senator Franklin will serve as a wonderful team when you are absent, Mr. President. I am so very, very proud to say that I not only know Paull, but I love Paull. He is just a wonderful, wonderful person and he will serve the office well. I urge your support.”

REMARKS BY VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE SHIN
Vice President Pro Tempore Shin: “Mr. President, my dear colleagues and ladies and gentlemen. I don’t know how to express my feelings inside. It is hard to imagine that a street urchin from Korea can come to the United States, not only be educated, but receiving much blessings and even to serving in the State Senate in a leadership position. If it is not an American blessing, I don’t know what it is. I appreciate your trust in me and faith in me. I will try with the best of my ability to honor my colleagues and serve each one of you faithfully--as I was sworn in. My colleagues, on a personal note, I want to thank you so much. With me today, my family understands and also my great American friends who came to congratulate me.

REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: “Thank you, Mr. President. I rise to place in nomination for Secretary of the Senate, the name of Tony Cook. I think most of you realize that this is the old job I had a number of years ago. I think it is the best job in the state of Washington, outside of being an elected official. I think Tony has carried on a tradition that was taught to me many years ago when I first worked in the House of Representatives--that regardless, you treat everyone the same. I think Tony has exemplified that. He has done a wonderful job; he has treated everyone fairly on both sides of the aisle. I don’t think anybody has any complaints at all. He has put together a magnificent staff that is helpful to all of us. The Senate rolls along so smoothly and we don’t realize how much work there is that goes on behind the scenes under Tony’s control.

Gene has been with us for about seventeen years. Somehow or other, he puts up with us, but he has the respect of each one of us.

EDITOR’S NOTE: See Tenth Day, January 17, 2001, in accordance with Rule 41, for appointments and changes to the Standing Committees.
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Senator Sheldon has moved that all members shown on the committee assignment sheet be confirmed.
REMARKS BY SENATE WEST
Senator West: “Mr. President, I guess I wasn’t listening. I didn’t hear you make the appointments. Did you make that announcement that you had made the appointments?”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “No, I did not, Senator.”
Senator West: “Is it premature to confirm the appointments prior to making the appointments?”
President Owen: “I think the President may have misunderstood your question. The President has placed the appointments before you as shown on the lilac sheet and has made those in that gesture and therefore they are before you to be confirmed.”
MOTION TO DIVIDE QUESTION
Senator West: “I. move that the question be divided and that the Committee on Transportation, the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Rules be considered separate from the rest of the committees.”
REPLY TO SENATOR WEST
President Owen: “Senator West has moved that the question be divided and that the Committees on Transportation, Ways and Means and Rules be considered on a separate vote. Did you wish to elaborate on that, Senator West?”
REMARKS BY SENATOR WEST
Senator West: “Yes, Mr. President. Thank you very much. It is my intent that the committees that would be taken at this point in time, other that the Committees on Transportation, Ways and Means and Rules-- to speak in favor of the confirmation of those appointments. You might notice that the Senate is divided twenty-five to twenty-four and that each of those committee is represented by a one vote majority of the majority, similar to the body itself. But, you will also note that the President’s recommendations on the Committee on Ways and Means, I believe, there is a four vote difference, not a one vote difference. On the Committee on Transportation, there is three vote difference and on the Committee on Rules, there is a two vote difference, technically. But, considering that the President is the Chairman of the Rules Committee, there is actually a three vote difference.
“It would be my intent when we get to the confirmations on the other three that we address those and try to bring some balance and bipartisanship there. So, I will make those arguments at that time.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: “Thank you, Mr. President. I would rise to object to dividing the question. I think the purpose of Senator West’s motion is to offer amendments to those three committees to add some additional Republican members. I think it could be handled without dividing the question and I think he could offer his amendments and let the amendments go up or down and then we can go ahead to confirm the committees as a whole.”
PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator Sheahan: “A point of parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President. I am wondering what rules we are operating under at this moment.”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Presently, the Senate has not adopted Senate Rules, so without the adoption of the Senate Rules, the Senate operates under, what would be considered, general parliamentary rules.”
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator West to divide the question and that the Committees on Transportation, Ways and Means and Rules be considered separately.
REMARKS BY SENATOR WEST
Senator West: “Mr. President, in closing debate. This morning I went over to Senator Snyder and brought to him the attention of this issue. He mentioned, given more time, he may be able to consider some adjustments to those three committees. I wonder, rather than delay the entire Senate, again, my motion to divide the issues, proceed with those committees where there is no dispute--if we could get to the point of dividing the issue and those other three committees could be left to later when Senator Snyder and I could meet in more detail.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: “Mr. President, I still urge the body not to divide the question. Senator West came over this morning and suggested that he had three names of Republicans to add to the Ways and Means Committee, two to Transportation and one to the Rules Committee. Now, in the past, we have all known, regardless who has had control, Democrat or Republican, they have always had super majorities on especially Ways and Means and the Rules Committee. So, this is no different than we have had in the past.
“It is kind of a short notice of 9 o’clock this morning when Senator West came over and asks to add some names to these committees. In the past, we have tried to accommodate--I think we did this time, by increasing or decreasing members of other committees to allow more participation. I think that we should go ahead and adopt these committees; I will be glad to work with Senator West in the future. I am not committing to adding names, but I would certainly like to work with him and also think that we need to adopt these committees today, because we had referred bills to committees and the committee chairman would like to scheduling committee meetings and if the committees aren’t officially adopted, I don’t how they can go along with their proceedings. We know we are in for a long one-hundred five day session and the sooner we can get started, I think, the better off we are. I would urge you to go ahead and adopt the standing committees that have been recommended.
“I pledge to work with Senator West, without making any commitment whatsoever. We will take a look at his arguments and then proceed from there. I wish that Senator West would have come to me earlier than three hours before the session started this morning--with his request.”
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator West that the vote on confirmation of the committee members be divided and that the Transportation, Ways and Means and Rules Committees be separate.
The motion by Senator West failed and the question was not divided.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the confirmation of the recommended appointed members of the committees.
MOTION
Senator West: “Considering that motion failed, I would like to move now that the appointments to the Committee on Transportation, the Committee on Rules and the Committee on Ways and Means be added to as follows: I would like to move to confirm additional appointments to the Transportation Committee, adding the names of Senator Swecker and Senator West; additional names to the Rules Committee, adding the name of Senator Honeyford; and additional members to the Ways and Means Committee, adding the names of Senator Carlson, Senator Hochstatter and Senator Parlette; and I would like to speak to my motion.”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Senator West has moved the motion be amended to include the addition to the Transportation Committee of Senator Swecker and Senator West; the addition to the Rules Committee of Senator Honeyford; and the addition to the Ways and Means Committee of Senator Carlson, Senator Hochstatter and Senator Parlette.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR WEST
Senator West: “Thank you, Mr. President. We hear a lot about bipartisanship leading up to this session. We know the House ended in a tie and the Senate is virtually in a tie. The people in the state of Washington have sent us here to do their business in a bipartisan manner. There are key issues this legislative session. The budget is always a key issue, but transportation is also a key issue. This side of the aisle represents nearly fifty percent of the population of the state of Washington. In fact, with a population growth in certain districts, it may in fact represent more that fifty percent of the people of the state of Washington.
In essence, those people are being disfranchised by having lesser votes on the Transportation Committee, the Ways and Means Committee and the Rules Committee. I would also point out that the United States Senate is equally divided--actually the Republicans have a one vote majority with the Vice President. Yet, they have decided to divide their committee equally--down the line. There are many state legislatures, this particular year, that are clearly divided. I think there are three state Senates in the United States that are also fifty, fifty.
“In the interest of bipartisanship, it is very important that these committees be adjusted to reflect that. The distinguished gentlemen from Long Beach pointed out that it is tradition to have these numbers in this fashion. I actually had staff go back and do a little research since 1980. In fact, in 1987, when the Democrats controlled, the Committee on Transportation, for instance, had a nine, eight difference. There was a one vote majority. In fact, last year, when the Democrat party controlled, they had twenty-seven, twenty-two here on the floor, but they only had an eleven to nine in the committee. Now that those numbers are closer here on the floor, there are further apart on the committee. It is ten to seven. Instead of two votes, it is now three votes.
“There is precedence for this in 1988, when the Republicans took control. The Transportation Committee was a seven, seven tie. In the 1989-90 session; that was a one year session. In the 1989-90 biennium, there was a tie; seven, seven. In the 91-92 biennium , that was a one vote majority; eight to seven. Then, when the Democrats took over--twenty-eight Democrats to twenty-one Republicans; they maintained eight to seven on Transportation.
“Mr. President, I would concede that past practice has lead us to have super majorities on Ways and Means, but this is no time to be looking to past practice at a time in this session when we need to listen closely to each other and when we need to cooperate closely with each other. It is no time to decide that three very key, very important committees will have super majorities. How does that foster getting along?. How does that foster working together? That clearly is the tyranny of the majority--not respecting the rights of the minority and not respecting fifty percent of the people in the state of Washington--clearly disfranchising them on the budget and transportation issues and all legislation, because of the Rules Committee. So, I ask the Senate to approve this amendment to add those Senators to these three committees. Thank you, Mr. President.”
PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator Snyder: “Thank you, Mr. President. I have a parliamentary inquiry. This is an oral amendment to the motion by Senator Betti Sheldon to confirm the appointees to the standing committees?”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “That is the way the President understands it. This is an oral amendment to the motion by Senator Betti Sheldon to confirm the appointees by the President to the committees.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: “Well, I would hope that we would postpone, and I know we are going to have differences, but bickering on the first day of the legislative session and here again, I was first confronted with this three hours before the session started without any change to give it any thought, without any chance to talk it over with my colleagues on my side of the aisle. Here, again, I will sit down and there may be some wiggle room. I am not guaranteeing there will be some wiggle room, but my suggestion is that we go ahead and adopt the committee assignments as presented by the President of the Senate and give us a chance to work with you this week. You might be able to convince us that there is some room to add Republican members. I can tell you flat out right now that you are not going to get everything you are asking for. You may not get anything, but I have been a reasonable person in the past and I will continue to be a reasonable person in the future. I would urge that the amendment by Senator West be voted down.”
PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator Sheahan: “Thank you, Mr. President. A point of parliamentary inquiry. Because we are operating without Senate Rules and under general parliamentary rules, I would like to know how many votes are necessary to pass the motion to confirm the standing committee appointments.”
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “In response to the parliamentary inquiry by Senator Sheahan, the President believes that it takes a majority of those present.”
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator West to amend the motion by Senator Betti Sheldon that the committees be confirmed as appointed by the President to add to the Committee on Transportation, Senator Swecker and Senator West, to the Committee on Rules, Senator Hochstatter and to the Committee on Ways and Means, Senator Carlson, Senator Hochstatter and Senator Parlette.
REMARKS BY SENATOR WEST
Senator West: “Thank you, Mr. President. I know in general rules and parliamentary procedure, you don’t address, directly, someone on the floor and I won’t do that. It was stated in remarks that we shouldn’t start the first day with bickering and I don’t believe that what we are asking for here is bickering, but bipartisan cooperation. When we ask for something, it shouldn’t be labeled bickering. We are not demanding everything, we just want fairness. Again, I plead with the body to approve these amendments.”
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of the amendment by Senator West to the motion by Senator Betti Sheldon to confirm the 2001 Standing Committee Assignments.
The motion by Senator West failed and the amendment was not adopted.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator Betti Sheldon to adopt the proposed 2001 Standing Committee Assignments.
The motion by Senator Betti Sheldon carried on a rising vote and the 2001 Standing Committee Assignments were approved.
MOTION
On motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate reverted to the fourth order of business.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Snyder: "A point of personal privilege, Mr. President. I just want to say that November is behind us. Now, we are confronted with keeping our commitments. The tasks will not be easy, but the journey along the way does not need to be bitter and divisive. Our goals are the same: To educate our youth for their future; To retrain those whose skills need redirection; To ease the traffic snarls; To let our seniors live their later years with dignity; To create family wage jobs for all our citizens; To strike a fair balance between our environment and growth; To create safe streets and neighborhoods..... and many more subjects that are vital to our residents.
"They are looking to us to solve their problems and our problems. It will not be easy, because we have different approaches to solving these problems, but we can make the tasks as pleasant as possible by treating each other with dignity and respect. We will have disagreements, but we do not need to be disagreeable. Let's hope ten or twenty years from now people aren't saying 'Things would be much better if the Legislature had done something back in 0-1.'
"I pledge my cooperation to Democrats and Republicans, House and Senate, to make this session as productive and as civil as possible. Let's hope we can call concentrate on the next generation instead of the next election. Thank you."
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator West: "Thank you, Mr. President. A point of personal privilege. We join in that message. I think that Senator Snyder, the Senator from Long Beach, has clearly laid out the issues that are most important to the people in the state of Washington. Traffic issues, transportation issues and the congestion thereof and the education of our children and good well-paying jobs in our state. We look forward to working cooperatively with the other side. But, we will say that cooperation means that we will not surrender our principles. We will join together in those places where we can agree and work together. I pledge to you that the people on this side of the aisle will listen to what you have to say and try and get at the heart of what it is that you are representing with your constituents--and we will ask nothing in return. We would hope that you would listen closely to what we have to say. The point we made earlier remains. We certainly hope and I think the people in the state of Washington expect both parties to share power, both parties to share dreams for the state of Washington. Both parties need to do their level best to make this a great place to live for everybody in the state of Washington. I will pledge to you, Senator Snyder, that I will do that with you and our caucus will work with your caucus. Let’s show each other respect and not a harsh word passed.”
MOTION
On motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate returned to the third order of business.
MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable Brad Owen
President of the Senate
Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington 98504
Dear President Owen:
We respectfully transmit for your consideration the following bills which have been partially vetoed by the Governor, together with the official veto message setting forth his objections to the sections or items of the bills, as required by Article III, section 12, of the Washington State Constitution:
Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6499;
Second Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6856.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand, and affixed
the seal of the state of Washington
this 8th day of January, 2001.
(Seal) RALPH MUNRO
Secretary of State
PARTIALLY VETOED BILLS
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 6499
May 2, 2000
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 1, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6499 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to transportation funding and appropriations;"
The Constitution of the State of Washington, Article III, Section 12, makes clear that every act passed by the legislature shall be presented for consideration by the governor. That constitutional section further provides that the governor may veto less than an entire bill. The phrase "enacted in a form passed by the legislature" as defined in section 1 of E2SSB 6499 effectively makes such presentment conditional upon the governor's approval of the entire referenced bill, and incorporates substantive legislation into an appropriations bill. This violates several constitutional principles, including the doctrine of separation of powers. It improperly restricts the governor's constitutional veto power, and sets a bad precedent.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 1 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6499.
With the exception of section 1, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6499 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
GARY LOCKE, Governor
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SECOND ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 6856
May 2, 2000
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 8(2) and 15 of Second Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6856 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to transportation funding;"
Section 8(2) (found at page 14, line 37 through page 15, line 6 of the bill) would have amended RCW 46.68.035 and Chapter 102, Section 7, laws of 1993, to redirect the portion of the combined vehicle license fee revenues that are currently distributed to the State Patrol Highway Account to instead be distributed to the Motor Vehicle Account. This change in distribution was inadvertently copied from an earlier version of the bill and would have the effect of putting the State Patrol Highway Account in a deficit position. In order to restore legislative intent and to avoid fund balance problems in the State Patrol Highway Account, I have vetoed this section.
Section 15 (found on pages 24 and 25 of the bill) would have amended RCW 44.40.070 and Chapter 245, Section 87, laws of 1998, so that the transportation revenue forecast council would be responsible for adopting a comprehensive six-year program and financial plans for state agency transportation activities. The section also would have codified the membership of the transportation revenue forecast council to include only transportation agencies. The council currently includes representatives from transportation agencies, as well as the Office of Financial Management, the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council, the Office of the State Treasurer, and the House and Senate Transportation Committees. I do not support the exclusion of non-transportation agencies from the council, and I believe that the development and adoption of six-year transportation expenditure and revenue plans should remain with the agencies.
For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 8(2) and 15, Second Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6856.
With the exception of sections 8(2) and 15, Second Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6856 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
GARY LOCKE, Governor

Dear Secretary Cook:
The 2000 Legislature requested that the Washington State Institute for Public Policy conduct a 15-month study on education opportunities in Washington’s public high schools (Section 607(4), Engrossed House Bill No. 2487). Enclosed is the interim report which is due January 1, 2001. A final report will be submitted in September 2001. The interim report provides background for the study, with a special emphasis on high school student outcomes and performance. The final report will include information from eight case studies and responses to a statewide questionnaire from all high schools.
Key Findings
Washington Public High Schools’ Characteristics:
The average size of standard high schools in Washington is 912 students.
Twenty-two percent of the high school students are people of color.
High School Student Performance:
Three-quarters of youth under age 19 in Washington graduate “on time.”
Sixty-five percent of young adults ages 25 to 29 have some additional education after high school: 9 percent receive associate degrees and 31 percent receive a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Eighteen percent of juniors and seniors in high school take college level learning courses (e.g., Running Start and Advanced Placement).
Fifty-one percent of community and technical college students and twenty-two percent of four-year public university students take at least one remedial course.
If you have any questions about this report, please contact Edie Harding at (360) 586-2765.
Sincerely,

MESSAGE FROM STATE OFFICE
WASHINGTON STATE CRIMINAL JUSTICE TRAINING COMMISSION
A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Over the last two years, the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC) has worked with customers to create a learning environment that better meets the specific job requirements for criminal justice professionals. Through partnerships, the WSCJTC has increased regional training, expanded the basic law enforcement academy and enhanced the overall satisfaction of professionals who attend courses.
This report summarizes the activities of the last two years, documents the status and satisfaction of service, and identifies the efforts currently underway, as well as those under development, that provide state of the art training to criminal justice professionals in Washington State. Although much improvement and growth has occurred since this report was submitted two years ago, there will always be areas of opportunity for the organization.
The impact of 1-695 cuts has had a direct impact upon customers of the WSCJTC. Funding limitation will continue to strain the ability the WSCJTC has to provide training that takes advantage of the current technology and provides criminal investigators, in particular, with the edge they need investigate crimes of technology.
I invite your comments regarding this report. If I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at (206) 835-7347.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL D. PARSONS, Ph.D, Executive Director
