SENATE BILL NO. 6250, having received the constitutional majority, was declared passed. There being no objection, the title of the bill was ordered to stand as the title of the act.
Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege. Now, I just want to tell all of you that Senator Berkey started this about passing out the gifts before we got on the new Senator about making a speech, so that part is your fault. I’m going to get out of this as soon as I can. We got one more after Pflug. I asked her in caucus today why she had the ‘P’ there, she said ‘None of your business.’ I’ve got so much information on her. I do want Senator Deccio, where’s he? Senator Deccio, she’s a nurse so you better get along with her because you’ll probably need a nurse before I do. She’s a registered nurse, this is all the information I have on her. She’s ‘R’ answer to your Berkey. Berkey, would you pay attention? You know this takes a lot of guts to get up here every time they bring in a new Senator. She’s our answer to you. Your both very beautiful, but she’s a Republican. She’s got just a smidgen of an edge-not much because you’re both beautiful. She has four children at home; 11, 14, 17 and 19. Congratulations on your spacing. That’s excellent, really, isn’t it girls. She’s taking flying lessons along with her two oldest sons and I think that’s great. The oldest already has his pilot’s license so he’s probably helping you a bit. Now please, we only have 25, be careful. Don’t go up in bad weather, please don’t go up in bad weather. We’ll be tied then and you think this is a mess now. Wait till it’s a tie, that’ll really be bad. She snow skis, again be careful, you could break legs, ankles and arms and run into trees as I have done in the past. She backpacks, she does look very healthy to me. I don’t know about the rest of you and I wear tryfocals. She likes boating, again wear your life preserver. Twenty-five, twenty-four, it’s quite important. The family is very important to her. Obviously with four children they’re very important. Here’s some statistics you probably don’t know about her. She lives next door to the home where she grew up. You’re going to meet a lot of us that haven’t grown up yet but we’re planning on, once we’ve grown up we’re going to decide what we want to do. There are thirteen acres on the property and it’s divided amongst family members. Now, I don’t know how many in your family. Could you lip sync it? So there’s, one, two, three. Three in the thirteen acres, you guys figure that out, I don’t have my slide rule. Anyway, the family made a soccer field out of one section and that is enjoyed by the people of the community which I think very giving of you, so we know she’s a giving person. There’s also a barbeque area that will feed a couple hundred people. She hasn’t invited us yet, has she folks? I think she should. I really do. The Seattle City Watershed is nearby, I have no idea what that means, but that’s one of the facts I was given. It was named after her great grandfather, Chester W. Morris. Is that correct? Good old Chester who was an engineer for the City and created the watershed. The dam covers over the original homestead and I think that’s great information on you. You’re a very, very lovely woman and you’re a nurse. Deccio are you still awake? This is pretty early for him but anyway, he’ll probably need your services or mine and I wonder, leadership, could you put her closer to us? Would you ask Senator Deccio? Why has Senator Deccio risen? Welcome aboard.”
Senator Deccio: “A point of personal privilege. Mr. President, would you remind Senator McCaslin this is a sixty day session and that time is running out. If he keeps that diatribe he’s going to need an oral surgeon, not a nurse.”
Senator Pflug: “A point of personal privilege. Well it is my pleasure to present my first gift and to thank the good gentleman for his kind remarks. I don’t know if there is such thing title IX legislator but if there is it is my joy to bring additional diversity and follow in the tradition of replacing, leaving male Senator’s with background in real estate with a new female legislators. I have hoped that each of you have a bag on your desk and I want to tell you a little bit about the contents. A lot of you from the East side of the mountains, first arrive in the fifth district at Snoqualmie Pass, and if you come down I-90, your first North Bend exit is exit 32 and by then your pretty tired and so it would be a really good place for you to pull off. If you take a left at exit 32, about five-hundred feet, you’ll come to Gordy’s Steak House. Gordy’s has given you a gift certificate here. They are famous for their southern barbeque which is all natural pork, smoked on the premises. They also I think what is definitely as good a steak as any in the state and that is environmentally-cultured black Angus which is raised at Misty Isle Farms in the thirty-fourth district. For those of you in eleventh district, they will be opening a new location. They won the competition for the concession at the new golf course in Tukwila. Those of you who don’t come over the pass can still try Gordy’s when they open this summer in Tukwila. If you continue down I-90 and you can manage to pass the outlet mall at the next exit, you’re probably thinking your gonna go south on eighteen to Olympia but you really should turn right. You’ll go past the new Urban Village concepts, Snoqulamie Ridge development and come to historic Snoqulamie, where we have a working antique railway. And after you take your grand kids on that or your kids then you can go across the street to the Snoqulamie candy factory. While you have a burger at their old fashion soda fountain, you can watch them make taffy and their famous carmel corn. In your bag I have for you a sample of Snoqualmie Falls Carmel corn. I use to bring this down by the five gallon tub outside my office, but in the long sessions I couldn’t fit into my clothes at the end. I quit doing that. One little sack won’t hurt you. Then, just about a half mile from there is the Snoqulamie Falls Lodge is now Salidge Lodge and so you’ll want to go by there to see the falls especially they’re beautiful in the spring when the snow melts. The Salish Lodge is a local landmark and the site of many traditions for my family, it was always Mothers Day. For decades we had brunch there for Mothers Day. But it has also been renovated and it’s a great place for a weekend getaway or a caucus retreat and they have a wonderful spa and so in this envelope we have a twenty dollars off on a spa treatment, ten dollars off on a meal there. And I would remind you that it’s Valentine’s coming up and they have Valentine’s specials where you can each get a treatment and then you can go have lunch. They’ll wrap you up in a big robe and you can lunch in front of the fire and then go enjoy the baseball which has this enormous hot tub with a waterfall. So the pictures on your coupon are kind of small but I have a bigger brochure if you want to come see what it looks like. Then we should go back to I-90 and head toward Seattle and as you get out of the mountains you come to Issaquah. It looks a little different, thanks to the good lady from the tenth and the good gentleman from the forty-first, but there’s a famous land mark, that’s because of the new sunset interchange. For those of who grew up, you’ll know that there is a wonderful land mark there the Boehms Factory. Bernard has made you a sampler, just for you. They can do absolutely anything. You’ll notice that he has given you a salmon, that’s because the salmon is kind of the patron saint of Issaquah. Every year we celebrate the return of over thirty-thousand salmon with our big festival, the first weekend of October. We have a ton of fun. Look at the front of your bag. This year’s festival is called ‘Spontaneous.’ King Salmon and Queen Coho preside over that. I’ll invite you to come to that. Next door to Boehms is the Hedges. I have a wine bottle cellars for you. Then if you head south you’ll go to Maple Valley. I have Maple Valley gold which is honey from all over the state. You’ll have to come. I was going to tell you where all this was. My point being really that I am very proud of my district as all of you are of yours and I wanted you to know how interconnected we were, so I was going to tell you where the wineries were but I will stop and to say how much I look forward to working with you on solutions for all of our districts.”
Senator McCaslin: “I’m road weary. I’m so tired of going down I-90. Try 405.”
Senator Deccio: “A point of personal privilege. I just want to advise Senator Pflug your four years are up.”

It’s in Reeds, Rules, 224. If I may Mr. President? It is not permissible to allude to the action of the other House of the Legislature or to refer to a debate there. Such conduct might lead to misunderstanding in ill will between two bodies which must cooperate in order to properly serve the people. So also the action of the other body should not be referred to influence the body the members addressing.’ So if any of you are wondering why I’ve been here served under three Presidents, they’ve all been the same way, we don’t mention the other house. Let’s influence ourselves over here. Thank you Mr. President.”

Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege. I told Senator Sheldon, B. that I was resigning after this and she said, ‘You can’t resign. We never appointed you.’ Since she never appointed me, I don’t know why I’m standing here but the question that was asked me was, whether or not a minor can pass out bottles of wine. I didn’t know that you were a minor. I think somebody told you that you were twenty-seven. I started losing my hair before you were born. I have some information here for the rest of you regarding him because two a day is too much for me here. Brian’s wife, Heather, beautiful woman, I don’t know how he ever captured her, calls him Bri, Bri or is it Bre Bre. You followed up your motion but you can tell me what it is. It’s what, what is it? If your going to be in the Senate, you’ve got to learn to yell. When you get up, you don’t ‘Mr. Chair’ or ‘Mr. Speaker’, this goes for the rest of you that are House broken. You say, ‘Mr. President.’ You yell it out and then you’ll call on you. What he does, he goes back and forth between Democrats and Republicans and he’s a very fair President. I got to say that because I read in the rule book that when you rise to speak you’re to address the President. Isn’t that correct? I ask them about that and ‘McCaslin, I’d rather look at your back then your front.’ So, I do appreciate that. Is it Brea Brea? You can stand up. Bri, Bri, that’s enough. Anyway, she’s a beautiful woman, according to statistics I have but that name is really disturbing. Now last week I asked him three times where Senator West was and he said ‘McCaslin, he got elected Mayor and he’s not here anymore. I’m the new Senator.’ I can’t believe somebody this young can be in the Senate, but I’ve been proven wrong before. When you young guys come in here with all that hair, look at that, we’re discouraged, well, except for Tim Sheldon. He’s got more, he can probably pass his out to all of us. Anyway, we do wish you a welcome. We wish you success and we wish you would raise your voice when you make an improper motion.”
Senator Deccio: “A point of personal privilege. I’d like to remind Senator McCaslin not all old guys are bald.”
Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege. Apparently you’ve never an seen aerial view of your head.”
Senator Murray: “A point of personal privilege. For the record I’d like to state there’s a great product out there call Rogaine and Senator McCaslin might like to invest in that. Rogaine, it’s great.”
