WHEREAS, Joanne "Obie" Alger was a much loved and dedicated staff member of the Senate and Legislative families; and
WHEREAS, She supervised the Legislature's toll-free hotline for nearly twenty years, ensuring a critical and caring connection between the citizens of Washington State and their elected officials; and
WHEREAS, Joanne left us too suddenly and far too soon on Friday, December 15, 2000, leaving family and friends saddened to have lost her, but blessed to have known her at all; and
WHEREAS, Her small stature seemed out of proportion to her big heart, endless wit, and enormous reservoir of Irish fortitude; and
WHEREAS, Joanne was blessed with a large, loving and talented family, including three sons, two daughters, and twelve beautiful grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Appreciating the combination of skill, chance and competition, Joanne loved playing bridge as a Life Master of the American Contract Bridge League, and also enjoyed the camaraderie and fun with her bi-monthly Pinochle group; and
WHEREAS, Joanne was an avid and patient baseball fan and will be looking down when the Mariners finally win the World Series; and
WHEREAS, We will all miss her deeply, but are comforted by the knowledge that our loss is Heaven's gain;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Washington State Senate mourn the loss of this wonderful person, but cherish her memory and extend its thanks for her dedicated service to this institution and state; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to Joanne Alger's family and the Legislative Hotline.
MOTION
Senator Snyder: “Thank you, Mr. President. I move adoption of the resolution. It is a great honor and privilege for me to stand here today and say a few words about Obie. I was Secretary of the Senate when she was first hired, and I worked a lot closer with her then than I did after I became a member, because our roles changed a little bit. She was an inspiration to a lot of people. I had a niece that worked in the hotline during the session over the years and she had a great deal of admiration for Obie and for her leadership and the friendship that she provided to her, and for the love that she showed for everybody. With the employees, I think, there wasn’t a more favorite person than Obie. I’ve never heard anybody utter a bad word about her and I think she was an inspiration to all of us. She carried out her duties on the hotline with the utmost efficiency and it is indeed a pleasure for me to stand here today and urge adoption of this resolution.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR McAULIFFE
Senator McAuliffe: “Thank you, Mr. President. I stand to support this resolution, recognizing the years of service Joanne Obie Alger provided for the people in the state of Washington. The hotline is the voice that connects our people to their government--your constituents and my constituents. Sometimes they just want to send a message; sometimes they’re angry and frustrated. Joanne provided the culture of caring and respect within the hotline room. I visited that room a few years ago. Have any of you ever been to the hotline room? It is a large room with chairs and many of the employees have on earphones. People sit for hours and listen to the people that call in. It takes a big heart, a sense of humor, and a lot of caring to work for the hotline. So today, I would like to stand and recognize Joanne Obie Alger and all of the people in that hotline room and to honor their work. I ask you to join me.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR OKE
Senator Oke: “Thank you, Mr. President. I, too, stand in honor of this resolution for Joanne. Joanne was a personal friend of mine. Quite often we had hugs. I like to hug and she was a hugger, and I know God is now hugging Joanne. She was a connection for a lot of us for our constituents to the Legislature. The only time some folks get to feel that they’re talking to the Legislature is their calls to the hotline. I have never heard a complaint from any of my constituents directed to those folks that run that hotline system for us. They are always so pleasant, and they share the right information to us--and allow us to get back to them. Joanne, we love you and God bless you.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR HARGROVE
Senator Hargrove: “Thank you, Mr. President. Well, the only thing I would like to add to that is that sometimes I think the hotline is a little too efficient, because I get way too many hotlines sometimes. It was very interesting here to see--I think it was one of her grandchildren--run down the front here a minute ago. I’m sure she would be very pleased with that. It reminds me of a session about sixteen years ago in the House, where my two year old ran down the floor--a little red-head. He’s nineteen years old now and we remind him of it all the time. So, I’m sure, young man, you’ve made a little piece of history here, and I’m sure your grandmother would be very proud of that. We’ll miss her dearly and we would just like to support this resolution.”
REMARKS BY SENATOR HAUGEN
Senator Haugen: “Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I too want to stand and support this resolution. For a number of years, my office was right next door to the hotline, so I knew very well what was going on there. I can tell you that it’s not surprising to see that Joanne has a very large family because, in essence the hotline was like a large family--this large family--and I will miss her dearly. Everytime I get a hotline today, I think about those people who work so hard for us. I think we often do not realize how they are there all the time. We were here, but they were always there getting those messages and it did run very efficiently because of Joanne. I know that it will continue to run without Joanne, but it will be with a saddened heart by many of those wonderful people who work there. I’m just privileged to stand here today and say ‘thanks’ to the family for the sacrifice of her working here. We all know as people who work and women who work outside of the home, that you do make a sacrifice to your family, but she was the kind of person who had more than enough love for you and for us, too. Thank you very much.”

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator McCaslin: “Mr. President, a point of parliamentary inquiry. Senate Rule 45 (1) requires committees to either provide or vote to waive five day’s notice before hearing a measure. Mr. President, I ask, assuming the first and only time a committee considers a measure is during executive session, does the five day notice rule apply? If not, I am concerned that committees could pass bills without any public notice whatsoever.”
RULING BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “In ruling on the point of parliamentary inquiry raised by Senator McCaslin concerning whether the five day notice requirement in Senate Rule 45 (1) applies to bills in committee considered for the first time in executive session. It is not the President’s practice to issue advisory opinions of hypothetical facts. Each point of order must be judged on its individual merits. Although the President will wait for a point of order on actual facts to issue a binding opinion on this issue, the President might suggest that the safest course for committee chairs is to adhere to the five day rule--either give or waive five days notice as the case may be--for bills considered for the first time in executive session.”

RULING BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “In ruling upon the point of order raised by Senator Thibaudeau to the scope and object of the amendment by Senators
Stevens, Deccio, Oke, Benton, Long, Morton, McCaslin, Sheahan, Rossi, Zarelli, Swecker, Hochstatter, Roach and McDonald on page 1, line 17, to Senate Bill No. 5186, the President finds that Senate Bill No. 5186 is a measure which provides that the Department of Social and Health Services may seek and implement a federal waiver to expand eligibility for family planning service funding. The measure defines the kinds of family planning services which are eligible to receive funding, including sterilization and contraception services. The amendment would refine eligibility criteria by excluding from participation those organizations that provide family planning services which include abortion services or referrals.
“In reference to Senator Thibaudeau’s argument that the amendment would merely restate federal law as it now exists, the President notes that whether an amendment duplicates existing law is not relevant to question of scope and object. The President, therefore, rules that the point of order is not well taken and the amendment on page 1, line 17, to be in order.”
The President ruled that the amendment by Senators Stevens, Deccio, Oke, Benton, Long, Morton, McCaslin, Sheahan, Rossi, Zarelli, Swecker, Hochstatter, Roach and McDonald on page 1, line 17, to Senate Bill No. 5186 to be in order.

RULING BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “In ruling upon the parliamentary inquiry raised by Senator Benton, regarding the number of votes necessary to pass Senate Bill No. 5352, the President finds that Senate Bill No. 5352 raises the building code permit fee, which funds the building code council account.
“RCW 43.35.035 (Initiative 601) concerns the raising of ‘state revenues.’ The building code council account is a dedicated account and is not appropriated under the state general fund budget.
“The President, therefore, rules that the final passage of Senate Bill No. 5352 requires a simple majority vote.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Patterson: “A point of personal privilege, Mr. President. Two days ago, I stood and asked the Senate to say a prayer for the police officer that was shot and murdered in my little city of Des Moines, Washington. Today, I want to stand and ask you folks to say another prayer, because today four more people in the city of Des Moines were found shot to death in their home. I don’t have all the information. I understand that they were young people--teenagers. I don’t have any more details, but the shooting took place at two hundred and twenty-sixth street, which is right up the street from Mt. Rainier High School where my children go to school. I am really hurting and I would appreciate if you would all consider saying a prayer for these childrens’ families and for my city of Des Moines and for us all.”

Senator Hochstatter: “A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President. Does this bill require a sixty percent vote to pass? Does it increase gambling?”
RULING BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “The President finds that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5573 would permit increased occurrences of gambling activity. Therefore, under Article II, Section 24 of the State Constitution., the President rules that a sixty percent vote (thirty votes) is required on final passage.”
The President ruled that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5573 would require a sixty percent vote on final passage of the bill.
Further debate ensued.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Zarelli: “Senator Prentice, my question would be, because we are on school grounds, and we would be selling tickets, and if this bill passes and is signed into law, it would be considered gambling, what is the legality of selling a raffle ticket then to a minor? If a ticket was sold to a fellow student and we consider this as gambling, would that then be an illegal activity?”
Senator Prentice: “I know that this has been worked out with the Gambling Commission. I remember that they addressed this. Senator Snyder, can you help me out on this on? I know that they worked this out very carefully. I guess I would like to remind people that gambling is already present in many churches. It certainly is available and, in fact, that is why children are allowed in bingo parlors. In fact, when the Gambling Commission first took over in 1973, one of the first regulations that they didn’t let us have--and I was a PTA mother then--was that they didn’t allow us to have cakewalks and things like that. I know that they no longer are that rigid and they have approved this type of activity.”
Further debate ensued.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5573.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
Senator Fairley: “A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President. When we’ve discussed gambling before, we’ve said that bills that add new forms of gambling or authorized added appearances require a sixty percent vote. My inquiry is does this require a sixty percent vote on final passage? This bill allows race tracks to have more hours of simulcasting on race days. Right now, they can do only one card on a race day and this is eight to ten races, so this bill would allow almost unlimited simulcasting of races on race days and more opportunity for people to place bets and therefore more gambling. I would argue that adding occurrences of simulcasting under past precedence that we have had in this body, would be an expansion of gambling and therefore require a sixty percent vote.”
Debate ensued.

RULING BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “In ruling upon the point of inquiry by Senator Fairley concerning the number of votes necessary to pass Substitute Senate Bill No. 5407, the President finds that the measure would remove restrictions on the number of simulcast races that may be imported by horse racing associations on live race days. Because the measure would permit increased occurrences of gambling, the President rules that a sixty percent vote (thirty votes) is required on final passage in accordance with Article II, Section 24 of the State Constitution.
“Senator West is correct that tracks already have the prior authority under the law to adjust their live and dark day race schedules to increase the number of simulcast races they may import. However, for purposes of this inquiry, the President’s analysis must start with the fact that tracks do not have the prior authority to offer unlimited simulcasts on a given live race day.”
The President ruled that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5407 would require a sixty percent majority vote on final passage of the bill.
MOTION
On motion of Senator West, further consideration of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5407 was deferred one bill, since Senator Fairley is excused.
There being no objection, the President returned the Senate to the sixth order of business.
