PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Schoesler: “Thank you Mr. President. Last week the Secretary of the Senate sent out a small release on the passing of Robert Goldsworthy, Major General Bob Goldsworthy. What many of you don’t know is the rest of the story. Representative, then Senator Robert Goldsworthy grew up as a farm boy in Rosalia. Attended WSU, seemed on his way to premier in the bright new industry of radio but service called. He flew a B-29 in World War II. Robert Goldsworthy was shot down over Tokyo, faced torture, near starvation as a POW and was released after V-J day. Came back and resumed farming, National Guard. After going through all of that Robert Goldsworthy came back for his country’s call to duty for the Korean War where he again flew as a pilot for us. Bob Goldsworthy never forgot his alma meter of WSU, his background as a farmer, but his tenure in the House and the Senate is before any of our times probably. But what Bob Goldsworthy did while he was in the House was he was essentially the father of our community college system. A champion of WSU and higher education who also saw the value of creating our community college system as we know it today. Bob Goldsworthy served admirably both in the other body and then Senate. I think one of the most memorable events in my time in the other body is when we did Bob Goldsworthy’s oral history. And he was at the rostrum with the Speaker Ballard. Bob Goldsworthy spent his time in captivity dreaming about the perfect meal, to pass his time. And him and his cell mate went through an elaborate process of what it would be of what was on the celery sticks, through the multiple appetizers, through the real meal and finally the proper dessert. Speaker Ballard was able to tell that veteran, that member, that day that, ‘Bob, the cafeteria has fixed that perfect meal.’ That man then was in his eighties. I was in my forty’s. I could not eat as much as that eighty-some year old man did. He was legendary for, ‘Well, if you have an extra steak I’ll take it.’ He literally consumed more than Speaker Ballard, myself, I think the Speaker Pro Tempore of the House from Vancouver was our guest as well. None of us could compare. Because of that time in captivity, the insatiable appetite. But the insatiable appetite that Bob Goldsworthy brought to agriculture and higher education, as a member of this body, the other body and public service. So, that’s a little bit more about a great American from America’s greatest generation that we lost just a little over a week ago. Thank you.”

So, this is a very fitting first bill for him. Yes, he will have more boring bills coming before us and they are all important. Welcome to the Senate.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Pedersen: “Thank you Mr. President. I rise to thank the body for its indulgence and want to do a little bit of advertisement for my district. I cannot claim credit for the Seahawks T-Shirt that are on your desk. Those are not in the Forty-Third District but we do have a lot of great things that are in the Forty-Third District which stretches from downtown to Ravenna and Madison Park to Fremont. You have some Theo chocolate which is one of the manufactured products from my district as well as a little Pike’s Place Market pen. What I really want to draw your attention to is though, is that the Forty-Third is really a great beneficiary of an amazing wealth of cultural institutions. And so you will find in the find in the packet some tickets to the Zoo, the Museum of History and Industry, to the Burke Museum and to the Seattle Art Museum. All of which are, I’m proud to say, are in the Forty-Third District. I want to put in a little plug for the bill on the floor calendar from the gentleman from the Forty-Fifth District on cultural access authorities. That would be very important for a lot of these and similar institutions around the state. I thank you again. I look forward to serving with all of you and I hope that you all make it to the middle of Seattle before too long. Thank you very much.”

Senator Padden: “Thank you Mr. President. Well, I also want to welcome the gentleman from the Forty-Third District to obviously gotten to know him last session as Chair of the Law & Justice when he was chairing some obscure committee in the other body that we dealt with.

I want to point that out. Welcome to the Senate.”

Senator King: “Well, recognizing the fact that Senator Pedersen’s first speech has come up a little short which might be the more appropriate way to say that. I have to say that I’ve had the privilege of working with him on a couple of issues over in the House and he was very helpful in getting a couple bills through over there. I won’t say on my behalf but they happen to be my bills but he was a pleasure to work with and I believe that he will be so in this body. So, I welcome him to the Senate and I look forward to working with him. Thank you.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Becker: “Thank you. Well, I would just like to welcome Senator Jamie Pedersen. We are working together on the Health Care Committee and it’s been a pleasure. It’s been a very much a pleasure.

I have to say, that’s totally appreciated and I welcome you to the Senate very warmly and for a long time.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Kohl-Welles: “Thank you Mr. President. I would like to make a point about the voting on the last bill. A statement had been made by the prime sponsor that requested we vote on the policy and not who was the sponsor of the bill that individuals that voted against the bill last year perhaps voted against it because of the sponsor. I voted against the bill last year and I voted against the bill this year and I signed it without recommendation last year in committee because I thought there could be confusion on the part of the public. Paint and other visual displays can be very helpful to point out something relating to trespassing but until the public understands that that is what this is about I believe it is very appropriate to have signage for the first few years. It has nothing to do with who the sponsor of the bill is and I just wanted to make that statement that many of us were not voting on who the bill sponsor was in our voting ‘Nay’. Thank you Mr. President.”

MOTION

At 11:38 a.m., on motion of Senator Fain, the Senate adjourned until 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 11, 2014.
