The House was called to order at 12:00 p.m. by the Speaker. The Clerk called the roll and a quorum was present.

The flags were escorted to the rostrum by the Henry Foss High School Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Corps in Tacoma. The Speaker led the Chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. The National Anthem was performed by the Spanaway Lake High School Music Company, led by Sara Forte. The prayer was offered by Pastor Fred Williams, Snohomish Community Church, Snohomish, Washington.

Pastor Fred Williams: “Our Heavenly Father, you and no other sit as King of kings and Lord of lords. You sit above us knowing all and directing all. Not one small detail escapes your knowledge. And yet, even while you have this perfect knowledge you also call on those who follow you to speak to you and to even plead with you.

That is our aim this morning.

It is the great state of Washington and fellow elected representatives that takes center stage in our hearts today. As servant-leaders of this state we recognize that we are blessed more than most. And we are part of a union that is blessed more than any nation on earth. I stand with and among the many here that proudly call themselves Washington residents. And yet, we are ever mindful that while these are here doing the job they were called on to do that real life is taking place outside these walls. Please keep their families well and safe. Be especially with the representative here who has recently lost his son. Comfort him with the comfort that only you can provide.

God, you know well that there are issues and agendas represented in this room that will, in some cases bind people together, and in other cases, threaten this house with division. Father, would your view of those issues be loudest opinion. And as your will is observed and recognized would you bless this room with peace and unity.

I am concerned though Father that our state finds herself adrift morally and spiritually. I fear that our blessed state is in trouble and while I know that no mere man or woman, and no political party or politician is the answer I would plead with you that you would work in the hearts of all those present… work in such a way that your just demands are clear and respected. Exert your righteous and loving will in this room all session long in such a way that it is unmistakable.

May this legislature be historic in that they did not ignore your Word; that they refused to call evil good and good evil. But it is here that these servants need your presence and even intervention in the most powerful and gracious way.

They are tugged at from all sides. Every assembly person in the room has the unenviable task of knowing that when they say yes to one they so no to another. Such a difficult responsibility.

Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Washington and who have been ordained by You to govern this great state. Grant them Your wisdom to rule, and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will.

I ask it in the name of your son, the living savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

KING COUNTY COUNCIL

KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON

SPEAKER’S PRIVILEGE

The Speaker asked the body to welcome its new members.

The Speaker further introduced his wife, Nancy Long, and asked the members to acknowledge her.

Mr. Speaker: “Welcome back to the people’s House! I want to thank all the House members for their dedication to being citizen legislators! I want to thank Dan Kristiansen for his work! Let us also thank the families and loved ones who are making a sacrifice for all of us. And of course, please recognize my wife, Nancy Long, for her many years of support!

In our line of work, there are many positive experiences, but also a lot of difficulties and challenges. Long hours, long committee meetings, long sessions. So it is appropriate as we begin this session, to mention a few examples of what we accomplished last year for the people of Washington.

To prepare our kids to learn and succeed, we approved the largest expansion of early childhood education in state history, $160 million over the next two years. And we enacted the Early Start Act to improve the quality of care in early learning and child care centers. To improve basic education as a path to a better life, we invested $1.3 billion in new funding for K-12 schools, expanded full-day kindergarten, and reduced class sizes in kindergarten through 3rd grade. We carried out the commitments we made a few years ago with House Bills 2261 and 2776, as part of our “paramount duty” to our schools. And we provided teachers and public school workers with a wage increase above the cost of living, recognizing the value of their work, and helping to catch up after several years without an increase.

To help students pursue opportunity, we increased College Bound Scholarships, an incentive for low-income students to graduate from high school and then attend a public college, tuition-free. We also expanded Opportunity Scholarships for middle class and low-income students who are earning degrees in high-demand fields, with matching contributions from the private sector.

To provide health care for all, we expanded Washington Apple Health, which now covers 1.6 million people, including 800,000 kids. We invested over $100 million for improvements in mental health care, providing community-based treatment, more inpatient beds, and better crisis intervention across the state. We approved important reforms, including Joel’s Law, which empowers families when a loved one is in crisis. And we maintained our national leadership role linking people to health care by continuing the State Health Care Exchange.

To strengthen the safety net for people who have fallen on hard times, we increased assistance for families, restored the State Food Assistance Program, and expanded services and support for children in foster care.

And we adopted a new Home Care contract, providing workers with the first-in-the-nation retirement benefit. They care so well for our elderly and people with disabilities. They deserve a secure retirement.

To create jobs for a recovering economy, our transportation package was the largest state investment in public works in state history. It will fix aging infrastructure, increase public transit, and create tens of thousands of jobs over the next decade. In addition, we created jobs by approving the largest capital budget in state history, with increased funding for school construction and projects that strengthen communities across the state.

The House of Representatives led the way on each of these accomplishments. But our pride in what we accomplished does not give us an excuse to sit back. We need to keep moving forward. Together we can find practical solutions to meet the next set of challenges. There will be many issues we will review: Department of Corrections, State Auditor, and Court decisions.

But for this session, let us focus on the basics:

Basic education. We must continue investing in our public schools, not because the Supreme Court says so, but because it’s our job! This includes working to reform the school employee compensation system and addressing the shortage of teachers. And we must build the classrooms to carry out the decision we already made to reduce class sizes. All of these actions will provide hope for a better future through education.

Basic Health. We should continue our progress towards the simple notion that health care is a fundamental human right. Who among us would deny care to a child? Who among us would turn our backs on those who are ill, or old, or disabled? There is no doubt that we have made major progress in extending health care. But we have so much more to do. Even though we enacted mental health parity years ago, we need to stop separating the brain from the body in our funding formulas and health coverage. And we must have a heart. It is imperative that we improve mental health care, which suffered during the Great Recession. We need accountability and more resources. We must provide our state mental health hospitals with the staff and the tools to care for those we are committed to help.

Basic emergencies. We must help communities devastated by some of the worst fires in our history. And we should use our rainy day fund to cover the costs of the drought and work to prevent these disasters. But there are other emergencies as well. There are many fires we face. In particular, tens of thousands of young people are homeless. That is a moral tragedy.

We cannot look away from the fact that many young people are dying from suicide, abuse, and other tragedies. Solving youth homelessness is basic: we need to get them off the streets and into a safe home. The same is true for people with mental illness. We can prescribe drugs and treatment, but that is for naught if the person leaves the clinic and is left to spend the night on the street.

When you add it all up, these three basics are really about having hope, health, and a home. One of the most powerful truths about America is our capacity for change and improvement. There was a time when children went to work, instead of school. There was a time when hard-working families had no access to health care. There was a time when people with mental illness faced shame, instead of hope. But over time, things changed.

If we continue to make progress there will be a time when we can be proud of our mental health system, with parity for all. There will be a time when a doctor can write a prescription for a home, as part of a treatment plan for mental illness. There will be a time when high school graduation rates will be close to 100%, with opportunity for all. And there will be a time, and that time must be SOON, when we fulfill our paramount duty to the education of our kids!

We don’t have a lot of time this session, so let’s make the most of it. Thank you.”

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Representative Kristiansen: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. First of all I would like to thank you. I want to thank you for the words, it is always hard following someone else who gives a nice speech like that when you are supposed to talk about the same things, so thank you for doing most of my speech. Let’s hear it for the Speaker. And now that we know you are really good at karaoke we expect you to show up.

On a personal note, I would like to thank you Mr. Speaker for the time we have been able to spend together. Over the course of the last few years, when it comes to talking about and negotiating the tough issues that you mentioned in your speech, you know we all know that we are under a tremendous amount of pressure down here not just by the courts predominately by our citizens. The citizens send us down here and they hire us to do this job. They are given opportunities to vote for us and somebody else, we were chosen, we were the ones who were chosen to represent them and the question that I guess I have every time I come down here and every time I face an issue is how am I going to serve my constituents best. One of the things for those of you who have never done it, I would encourage you to go to the fourth floor of the building and walk through the halls, I do it every year two or three times actually. It’s the class pictures of those legislative bodies that have gone before us and I like to go through that hall because as a state we were founded in 1889, and I like to walk up there and I like to look at key dates in time and take a look at the faces of the people who were there dealing with challenges not dissimilar to what we are doing but in many cases far more serious challenges. Who were those legislators who were dealing with the 1929 crash in our economy, who were those legislators who were there post December 7, 1941, and so on and so on and so on. I’m kind of a history buff, but I do think it is important for us to learn from our history. I do also think it is important for us to acknowledge that despite those tremendous challenges that were before them, they made it. They became unified at a time when it was very difficult and we can get really focused in on what divides us down here and I hate to say it but that is part of politics, but my hope and my prayer is that we will also find and we will make it a bigger priority on those areas that unite us and unify us. Every one of us in here are Americans and I am proud of that. I am proud not only that I am an American, but everybody in here, we serve together because this constitution has put together a system in place that we can do this. We have a representative form of government and the people that hire us to do this job are expecting us to come down here and govern.

We all know, as mentioned by Pastor Willams, and I want to thank the pastor too for his kind prayer and words this morning, but when he was talking about your making enemies and friends, when you push that yes button or that no button, this is my fourteenth session and I got to tell you it is always difficult pushing those buttons but we were hired to do that job. And sometimes we are going to be faced with very difficult personal decisions that we are going to have to make. I’ve said before that I encourage every legislator to come down here and draw that line in the sand, draw that line in the sand that represents your moral compass, your ethical compass, and don’t cross over that line. You don’t need to but you do need to work with people on the other issues, and my hope and my prayer, is that as we come together for this legislative session, sixty days right, or less, absolutely well you told me 105 last year I’m going to hold you to 60 this year. But my point is that my prayer, as we move forward, is that we will come together on these tough issues like classes, like legislators before us that had tremendous challenges, we’ve got some tremendous challenges ahead of us but I do believe that the system works. People complain about the system all the time, but I don’t know if you’re like me when I have looked at other systems of government around the world, as bad and as complicated and sometimes stinky as this place can be it is still in my opinion the best form of government in the world. Because it truly reflects, I believe, the public. Because that is why we were sent here. Every one of us represents approximately 137,000 people. Think about that. Have you always agreed with or condoned the actions of your own family members? And yet these people are hopefully going to agree with you and condone your actions most of the time, and that’s the challenge before us Mr. Speaker. I want to thank you for the comments and all the statistics and all the great work that we have done over the past few years, because we haven’t always agreed on those things but that’s part of politics. But there are some tremendous challenges before us, not unlike education. We’ve got a lot of things we’ve got to do on education, not just on the funding end, but on reform. We want to make sure that the outcomes of these kids is first and foremost our priority. That our kids get a world class education period. That we create safer atmospheres for our families. That we have job opportunities for those students when they come out of school, more than half of our college graduates are unemployed. That is wrong. We have 39 counties in Washington State and only two, two of thirty nine counties, have below the national average of unemployment. Two. Thirty seven counties are operating at above and sometimes double or more the national average of unemployment. That is great for Seattle and the Bellevue metropolitan area but it really excuse me sucks for the rest of the state. I’m becoming more politically incorrect, is sucked ok? Yeah it is going to have to be. TVW can you edit that out for me. My point being, is that we need to take a look at, it’s been talked about one Washington, but one Washington just isn’t a ten mile corridor. Its 300 miles approximately from the ocean to the Idaho border and its 300 miles approximately. from Idaho excuse me from Oregon to Canada. Ten miles isn’t doing it. We’ve got to do better in the rest of the state and that’s one of the things we want to make sure that we unite with you Mr. Speaker and colleagues across the aisle to make sure that the rest of Washington is being treated properly as well.

Mental health, we’ve got a lot of things going on in the greater metropolitan area on mental health, which you know Mr. Speaker we’ve talked about, this is a huge focus of mine personally but the things we are doing for mental health and other social programs in Seattle is not happening in the rest of the state

Transportation, while we made the largest transportation investment last year, most of the state is just going to be paying, and not receiving. We’ve got to take that into consideration. So my hope is to move forward Mr. Speaker, as if we are going to be able to look at the whole state, because the whole state is represented in this body. Seven million people are represented by us and my challenge to all of us is that we are going to be able to find those areas that we can unite, that we can do the best we can for the citizens of the state of Washington at all levels Mr. Speaker. I want to thank you so much for your service. Despite our differences, I truly enjoy working with you and my colleagues here, all 97 of you. You’re actually a sharp looking bunch by the way, but I do enjoy working with all of you despite our differences. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge life happens away from this place. Former member Carol Gregory lost her husband right after the election, and my condolences, our condolences to her and her family. I’ve got a member, I know we are not supposed to name names, but Norm Johnson lost his son. Sometimes we can get so caught up in this legislative process, in this beautiful building, that we forget life is happening around here. So let’s try and be patient with each other. Let’s realize that real life is happening to us in the process of doing this job and with that Mr. Speaker lets move forward. 59 days and counting, right? Thank you very much.”
