POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Liias: “Would Senator Miloscia yield to a question?”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator Miloscia, do you yield? He does.”

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Liias: “I would ask the good Senator: What the heck is all this Baldrige stuff?!”

MOTION

Senator Fain: “Thank you Mr. President. I move that we suspend Rule 15 so that members may only speak for three minutes.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator Miloscia, did you wish to respond? Briefly.”

REMARKS BY SENATOR MILOSCIA

Senator Miloscia: “Yes, Mr. President. Well, if you have three spare hours I will happily tell you what the introduction is about. Will you marry me Senator Fain? This is a fantastic amendment Mr. President. Slight quibble though about the amendment. It says ‘’til the end of time.’ That’s a little bit less defined than I’d like. Some people usually redefine when the end of time is. If you would adopt a slight little amendment that we define it is a 15 billion years and that JLARC will do a sunset review and report back to the Legislature at that time then this bill would be perfect.”

MOTION

Senator Fain that the amendment by Senators Fain and Hobbs be withdrawn.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Hobbs: “Well, I would just like to welcome the new Senator, Senator Malcolm Baldrige … .”

POINT OF ORDER

Senator Hatfield: “I think we need to show a little more respect. It is, in fact, Senator Mark Miloscia from the Thirtieth District.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Hobbs: “I’m truly sorry Senator. That’s right. It’s Senator Mark Miloscia who chairs the Malcolm Baldrige Committee.”

POINT OF ORDER

Senator Hatfield: “Mr. President, it’s the Senate Accountability and Reform Committee. I think we all, ah, who we kidding, it’s the Baldrige Committee.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Hobbs: “Okay, so it’s the Baldrige Committee. Malcolm, but he’s not Malcolm Baldrige so … Malcolm Baldrige? Wait, isn’t he that guy that died in that rodeo accident?”

REMARKS BY SENATOR HATFIELD

Senator Hatfield: “Yes, it was tragic. Apparently they didn’t have comprehensive safety assessments in rodeo back then.”

REMARKS BY SENATOR HOBBS

Senator Hobbs: “Oh. … Too soon?”

POINT OF ORDER

Senator Dammeier: “I am presuming, Mr. President, as I have seen some potato chips delivered to the front of the chamber which have not ever gotten to the back of the chamber but I’m presuming that there is a quality system to ensure that all members and the rostrum get the appropriate number of chips. But, Mr. President my question is…”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “I’m good.”

POINT OF ORDER

Senator Dammeier: “So my question is, Mr. President, under the new legislative ethics rule, do these chips constitute a counter as one of our twelve meals?”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “You’d have to talk to your legislative ethics attorneys about that.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Parlette: “So I would like to say it’s just wonderful to have this new Senator from the Thirtieth District. I get to sit behind him but, I have to tell you, he’s got in front of him, three notes; and they say: ‘Mr. President;’ ‘Mr. President;’ ‘Mr. President.’ I think, oh, six notes. I missed three of them. I think I need to give those to the good lady of the Twenty-Sixth District to remind her she is now in the Senate. Senator Angel? Mr. President. Mr. President. Mr. President. Thank you Mr. President.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Jayapal: “Well, there are many, many trials and tribulations for a new Senator and one of them appears to be serving on the Malcolm Baldrige Committee as the Ranking Member. So, I would like to thank the good Senator from the Thirtieth District for filling now two cabinets in my office with materials on Malcolm Baldrige. And I can explain in great detail for anybody that would like to know the difference between lean management and Malcolm Baldrige and I would like to do that in thirty seconds or less if you ask me because now what we have on the Committee, unfortunately, is very, very lengthy conversations about the difference of those and ISO 9000. I’ll just say Senator Miloscia, I’m looking forward to continuing to work with you and making sure to protect the rest of us from your best instincts. Welcome to the Senate.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Keiser: “Thank you Mr. President. Well, all this levity has been great fun but I am a neighbor to the good Senator from the Thirtieth District. I just want to welcome my neighbor to the senate chamber and know that we will continue to work on behalf of our communities. We’ve worked together on many other bills. I’m sure we’ll work on many future bills – none of which will have anything to do with Malcolm Baldrige but I do look forward to collaboration and continued cooperation and I appreciate your commitment.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Frockt: “I wasn’t going to speak this morning but it just occurred to me I’m now serving in my second legislative body with the good senator from the Thirtieth but I don’t know if he remembers but I thought it would be important to share this with all the members of both parties. The first time I met Senator Miloscia I was just getting started in politics in Washington and I was getting involved in the presidential campaign. It’s not surprising to some of you. I was there to represent at a debate, a community debate, a campaign of a great U. S. Senator named Bill Bradley. My friend, the good Senator, was there representing one of our greatest political leaders, I would say, of the last century, perhaps our greatest Vice President, Vice President Al Gore. I just wanted to ask you, ‘What happened?!’

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Sheldon: “Mr. President. I wanted to thank Senator Miloscia for this bag of Tim’s Cascade potato chips and I noticed there was a sticky note attached to the back that he has, a Baldrige-approved, that there is exactly the same number of chips in my bag that is in your bag. Thank you Senator Miloscia for doing that work.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Liias: “Thank you Mr. President. I just wanted to welcome our colleague to the chamber. I was appointed to the House of Representatives a week before the legislative session in 2008 began. So, it was a flurry of activity and the first meeting I ever took with a future colleague was with the then-Chair of the Housing Committee. I was literally driving to the capitol, stopped off at a Starbucks in Federal Way to have a chat with then-Representative Miloscia about the work that we’d be doing together. We had a wonderful working relationship in the House. I look forward to working together with him in the Senate. I will note I only required one, Mr. President, note last year to remind me. Not six. And I’ve taken the training wheels off. I’ve actually retired the note. So I look forward to following the protocol here. The other thing that I would just note is, I’m a little bit more of a lean practitioner so the chips are a little bit too much for me but I appreciate that there are many ways to ensure efficiency in government. I hope that in the future we can be a little bit more lean, Senator Miloscia.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Fain: “Mr. President. I did not want to be rude, the good Senator from the Thirtieth had posed a question to me during his floor speech and I am going to have to respectfully decline but I’m very happy to see your growth on the issue.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Billig: “Thank you Mr. President. I wanted to welcome Senator Miloscia and I, you know, one of the things that I’ve really enjoyed about being a legislator is going around and visiting different legislators in their districts. I was so glad to get this bag of Hawaiian kettle-style potato chips and knowing that our gifts are related to our district and knowing that Senator Miloscia represents tropical Hawaii. I just wanted to say I look forward to visiting you in your district and also finding out the connection of these chips to Federal Way, if that is indeed your district. Mohalo and aloha.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “So, for those of you who may not want your potato chips I’d note that Senator Hargrove is back!”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Dammeier: “Mr. President. I would like to welcome Senator Miloscia to the chamber. It is wonderful to have another veteran and another service academy graduate in this chamber. I was going to remind Senator Hobbs this morning, he pointed out that he’s been bringing the National Guard resolution to this chamber for nine years in a row. It struck me that for each of those nine years he has never seen Army beat Navy in the Army-Navy football game. It’s been thirteen years in a row, Mr. President. So I congratulate Senator Miloscia’s arrival with a little bit of angst and frustration on my own part because Air Force took the Commander- in- Chief’s trophy from Navy this year. We hope to get it back next year. Thank you Mr. President”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Padden: “Thank you Mr. President. Well, I also want to welcome the gentleman from the Thirtieth District into the senate chambers. He represents a diverse district. I certainly admire his ability to represent that district. I also wanted to, just briefly, indicate that the reason that the Army has not won those games in the last number of years is because there too busy winning wars.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Hobbs: “Thank you Senator Padden. That was a good one. Yeah, that was a good one. Yeah, I don’t like these originally lightly salted so if anybody here wants to trade me I’d appreciate it. Oh, thank you. Thank you Mr. President.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “We do stretch the limits of Point of Personal Privilege don’t we?”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Miloscia: “First, I want to thank everybody for the kind, and um, words that was mentioned here today. Senator Fain actually figured out a way how to get me to change my mind on any issue. So, hope the lobbyist don’t pick up on that. Anyway, I’m really glad to be here and see a lot of my friends. The senate, obviously, … We had a saying in the House, what was it? The Republicans are our enemy – the Republicans are our opponents, the senate is the enemy. Now that I’m here, I’ve sort of changed my view on that sort of saying. You’re so collegial. You are so nice. I, the welcome has been wonderful Mr. President. I’m glad to work all with you on issues that affect and improve our state, improve the prosperity of people, because I know everybody here cares about those issues. I was originally scared to come to the senate because these senators were all fearsome characters. They had fearsome names. But, now that I’m here, they have great nick names like Honeybear. I mean, you know, really nice guys but he was a guy I feared when I was in the House. Now my office is right next to him. Something about what you’re seeing right here. We have a very diverse and independent district. Tim’s Cascades, small business formed in 1986 in Auburn. Now in Algona, which is in my district. Now a very thriving, multi-state, multi-country, exported product. By the way, potato chips are my favorite foods. Potato chip bags last twenty-four hours in my household but I urge all of you to take this home. Another product that represents my district is Lakehaven Utility District which I was a former commissioner. Best water in the state but it does have some side effects on the elected officials in our state. We have an aquifer. We actually get our water right from underground Mr. President. For example, you think of some of the elected officials in Federal Way: Peter von Reichbauer; Jean Marie Brough; Mayor Jim Ferrell; myself; Councilmember Martin Moore. What do we all have in common? We’re sort of independently minded and sort of switch parties. Why? It’s the water from our aquifer. So I’m passing this all out to everybody here. Originally I was just going to give it to this side of the aisle but I’ll give it to everybody but just be aware, it may some side effects on you if you drink this aquifer water. Some people say it may because of maybe that garbage dump that we have on the side of town or a buried space ship. No, it’s the aquifer. That’s what makes the elected officials in Federal Way the way we are. In any case, thank you, enjoy working with you all. Thank you Mr. President.”

WHEREAS, For the second year in a row we are cheering on our NFC CHAMPION Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl; and

WHEREAS, The Seahawks have given the state of Washington at least one issue that galvanizes the entire state, East and West, Ds and Rs; and

WHEREAS, The cast of players and coaches we have inspire excellence on and off the field; including the most motivational coach in the NFL, Pete Carroll, and one of the most inspirational young players in Russell Wilson; and

WHEREAS, Being a “12” is a cultural touchstone that unites not just the Great State of Washington but the entire Pacific Northwest; and

WHEREAS, In true Washington style, Michael Bennett took a celebratory bike tour across the field of play to celebrate their second trip to the Super Bowl; and

WHEREAS, To beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in back‑to‑back years in the biggest football game on the planet would only further the Seahawks’ status as one of the finest NFL teams to be assembled; and

BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate congratulate the Seahawks on a very fine season, and charge them with the task of going “1-0” for just one more week and bring home the second Lombardi Trophy in as many years; and
