SENATE RESOLUTION

8720

By Senators Dansel, Litzow, Ericksen, Sheldon, Carlyle, Hasegawa, Hobbs, Chase, Takko, Billig, Conway, Fraser, Dammeier, Honeyford, Jayapal, and Pedersen

WHEREAS, A teacher in a small rural school district is often presented with unique challenges, expectations, and opportunities of the type not typically experienced in urban districts; and

WHEREAS, Catherine Diane Wilson has spent her entire 37-year career as a teacher in rural districts, with the first 7 years at J.L. Crowe Secondary School in Trail, British Columbia, followed by 30 consecutive years in the neighboring Northport School District in Stevens County; and

WHEREAS, Through the course of her career, Ms. Wilson has posted some varied and remarkable achievements, including starting the first boys' volleyball team at Northport High, and organizing and leading a month long trip to Europe in 1997 for 11 students--after first having to raise $14,000 through a community wide effort to cover travel expenses; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson was the force behind the North Port Pioneer, the first and only student-generated newspaper at Northport High, which she managed and nurtured for 15 years; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson invigorated the drama/theater and performing arts program during a time when other arts programs in the district were getting cut, and for many years was one of the instigators of the famous teacher Christmas skits; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson once caused a very surprised truck driver to swerve and hit a guardrail after he saw her riding down the street on her bicycle wearing a Teletubby costume for school spirit week; and

WHEREAS, With the assistance of a retired local newspaper editor, Ms. Wilson produced a video that showed antiquated school supplies and infrastructure at Northport, featuring textbooks with lice in the seams, moldy walls and carpeting, asbestos-coated ceilings, and a female school bus driver chaining up in the mud; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson then shared the video with the late Senator Bob Morton to show to the Legislature as a way of seeking funding for rural schools that would be less reliant on matching levies; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson has spent her career teaching in a number of disciplines, including French, English, and filling in wherever needed while promoting health, fitness, and the expanded use of technology; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Wilson is retiring this June after a long and enjoyable career that made a huge difference in the lives of many Northport students;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate honor the career of Catherine Diane Wilson as a living example of the kind of devotion, commitment, and dedication that all teachers in rural districts in Washington face through the course of their careers; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Superintendent of the Northport School District in the honor of Ms. Wilson's distinguished teaching career.

Senator Dansel spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 8720.

The motion by Senator Dansel carried and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Senator Dansel: “I was required to get six signatures on this resolution. Evidently, there’s a rule that we have to get six signatures and present that to the floor leader. I’m wondering if that’s an actual rule that we voted on? When did that become part of the rules? It seems pretty ridiculous to me that I couldn’t present a resolution honoring a school teacher from Northport, Washington without getting six signatures. I didn’t think it was too controversial. When did this become a rule and did we vote on it?”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator Dansel, I can answer your question as far as the Senate Rules go. As far as the Senate Rules go, there is absolutely no rule that requires six signatures for any measure to be introduced to the Senate. It takes simply one signature of a senator. It may be a policy issue, but it is simply not an issue that is a rule of the senate.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Rolfes: “Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to say we would have accepted his resolution with just one signature.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Dansel: “I’d like to thank the good lady from the 23^rd District. I didn’t think it was too big of a deal.”

(3)(a) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of alcohol after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's breath or blood to cause the defendant's alcohol concentration to be 0.08 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense.

(b) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1)(b) of this section, which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of marijuana after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's blood to cause the defendant's THC concentration to be 5.00 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense.

(4)(a) Analyses of blood or breath samples obtained more than two hours after the alleged driving may be used as evidence that within two hours of the alleged driving, a person had an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more in violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, and in any case in which the analysis shows an alcohol concentration above 0.00 may be used as evidence that a person was under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor or any drug in violation of subsection (1)(c) or (d) of this section.

(d) While the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and any drug.

(2) The fact that a person charged with a violation of this section is or has been entitled to use a drug under the laws of this state does not constitute a defense against any charge of violating this section. No person may be convicted under this section and it is an affirmative defense to any action pursuant to RCW 46.20.308 to suspend, revoke, or deny the privilege to drive if, prior to being pursued by a law enforcement officer, the person has moved the vehicle safely off the roadway.

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Liias: “Thank you, Mr. President. There have been several floor speeches that have referenced the House budget but have called it the other budget or budgets swirling around the rotunda.

President Owen: “A duck by any other name is still the House of Representatives. You can call it whatever you want, it’s still the House of Representatives and it’s still prohibited. The rule actually references the actions of the other body and how it might influence what you do. That’s what’s not allowed. You can say the House of Representatives until you turn blue. But when you start referencing the House of Representatives and their actions and how that might influence you, then that is what’s prohibited by your rules.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Billig: “A point of personal privilege.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Please state your point of personal privilege.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Billig: “Or maybe a point of order, I’m not sure which.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “We’ll sort it out for you.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Billig: “I’ll throw it out there and you can let me know. I wanted to explain for the people watching at home that that amendment to prevent the funding cut was voted by a majority of this body, 25 people voted yes of the 49 senators. So a majority of the senators representing a majority of the people of this state voted yes on that amendment. But, because of a rule put in place by the majority of the Senate, a majority putting in the super majority requirement. I think it’s important to know because it could be confusing.”

Multiple demands for a point of order were made.

RULING BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “There is nothing to make a point of order on at this point that I can tell, unless you can explain it to me. Right now it’s a point of personal privilege.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Billig: “Yes, thank you. I just want to say it’s a minority of the Senators representing a minority of the state that blocked that because of the super majority requirement that has been put in place. In actuality, and if we were ruled by a simple majority of this body, the citizens of this state, the majority of the citizens of this state, represented by their Senators, would have prevented this funding cut to our school districts and our kids. Thank you.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Let me explain: Unless he is impugning your motives, he is not out of order.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Schoesler: “Before we voted, a member stated that this was a two-thirds vote. It was not a two-thirds vote, it’s a sixty percent majority in the Senate rules.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Fain: “I like Senator Billig’s tie.”

[Editor’s Note: Pursuant to Rule 33, any senator may rise to a question of privilege and explain a personal matter but shall not discuss any pending question in such explanations.]

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Baumgartner: “Just wanted to remind the viewers at home, the majority of this body also voted for a two-thirds requirement on the threshold to raise taxes and that nearly every district in the state supported that super majority, two-thirds. Unfortunately, we were unable to get that majority requirement to hang as a rule here in the Senate, but I do like the fact that we do have super majorities to do things as a basic rule. It’s just important for the people back home to know that.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “You may have been impugning my motives on that one, I’m not sure. (Laughter) I’ll take that under consideration.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Frockt: “I would just like to remind the viewers that that two-thirds rule is what it takes when you have a constitutional amendment was put in 100 years ago by the founders of this state in the constitution. So that two-thirds rule that was just referred to is a constitutional requirement. That is far different than what we have on the floor of the Senate.”
