SIXTY SECOND LEGISLATURE - REGULAR SESSION
FIRST DAY
House Chamber, Olympia, Monday, January 10, 2011
The House was called to order at 12:00 Noon by the Chief Clerk, Barbara Baker.
The flags were escorted to the rostrum by the Washington State Patrol Color Guard. The National Anthem was sung by Joel White, Department of Corrections. The Chief Clerk led the Chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance, Prayer was offered by Rabbi Seth Goldstein, Temple Beth Hatfiloh, Olympia.
Rabbi Seth Goldstein: “My friends, a moment for prayer and reflection. We gather once again at this auspicious time on this auspicious day in this auspicious place to do sacred and important work. As we gather this afternoon though our hearts are heavy as we reflect on the recent tragedy in Arizona. An act of senseless hatred has shattered a community and has reverberated around the nation. We are mindful that when civil discourse is replaced by incitement and respectful disagreement is replaced by violent acts we all suffer. We mourn the lives lost and we pray for those injured, including Congresswoman Giffords, an elected official and public servant who was struck down doing the work that many in this room have been called to do, the work of governance and democracy. May this assembly which gathers to do the work of governance be blessed and protected in its charge. May the men and women who meet here be blessed in its pursuit of justice, righteousness and peace and blessed in its pursuit of meeting the needs of the great State of Washington and all of us who call this home. You who are new to this assembly, may the spirit of service which motivated you to pursue this office and brought you here to this hall continue to inspire you in the work ahead. May you adapt quickly to your duty and flourish in your new role. May you be open to learn and to grow. You who return to this assembly, may you continue to ascend in wisdom as you recommit to the tasks at hand. May the experience gained from past service inform your work ahead and may you share your knowledge with those around you, and may you be open to learn and to grow. To all those assembled, as the ancient Jewish Torah teaches, “may you be yielding like the reed and not firm like the cedar, may you have strength to stand by your principles but also the humility to bend and compromise.” The times we live in are difficult ones and there is hard work and hard choices ahead. As we begin this journey of governance may we always remember that achieving our ends must never come at the expense of the means, that all of us are God’s creatures worthy of being treated with dignity, respect and love, and that we are all responsible for one another and we have the gifts of creativity, civility and compassion to fulfill that responsibility and strive to build a better society. As we begin this work today may we be guided by the words of the Prophet Isaiah, “This is what I desire, to unlock the fetters of wickedness and untie the cords of lawlessness, to free the oppressed and break off every yoke, share your bread with the hungry and take the wretched poor into your home. When you see the naked give clothing and do not ignore your own kin. If you banish the yolk from your midst the menacing hand, the evil speech, if you offer compassion to the hungry and satisfy the famished creature, then your light will shine in the darkness.” The words of Isaiah. Then your light will shine in the darkness. So as we begin, we offer this blessing of thanks appropriate for all new milestones and endeavors. Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheynu Melech Ha’olam, Shecheheyanu, vekiyemanu, vehigiyanu lazman hazeh. We offer our blessings and gratitude to you, the source of all light, the spirit which animates the universe who has given us life, who has sustained us and brought us to this important time. Amen.”
The Chief Clerk called upon Representative Appleton and-Representative Elect Rivers to escort Chief Justice Barbara Madsen of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington to the Rostrum.

ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER
Representative Rolfes: “Thank you, Madame Chief Clerk. I would like to place the name of Frank Chopp in nomination for Speaker of the House. There are many difficult decisions ahead of us over the next 104 days but this decision is simple, at least for me. I know that our current economic situation is going to force very, very difficult and potentially tragic cuts to things that many of us care about, particularly in the social safety net and possibly in public education. The Governor has said that churches, community groups and non profits will have to step up to fill the gap but the care and precision with which we, the members of this House make these budget cuts will determine whether those gaps can really be filled and how they will be filled. Frank Chopp has spent most of his adult life stretching and mending the safety net in this state from both inside the legislature and outside. That experience, along with his compassion for every person in this state, as well as every person in this chamber will serve this body and all of our state well over the next two years. Of course Speaker Chopp has already served us and I don’t know how many terms he has been our Speaker but we have experience with his trademark, the trademark that he brings to this chamber which is respectfulness and collegiality. With the events over the weekend I think we can all agree that trademark is an important signature for our House. I could not be more proud to support his nomination and I hope you will all join me. Thank you.”
Representative Kretz: “Thank you, Madame Chief Clerk. I nominate Richard DeBolt for Speaker of the House. Today’s nominating procedures are a little bit different than what we’ve done in recent times but it is a time honored tradition that has lasted from statehood in 1889 to 1993 and I think it has served our chamber well. Richard is a leader with a clear vision for the State of Washington, has a desire to work across the aisle to accomplish goals that are in the best interest of our constituents. He has repeatedly proven that he not only serves the 20th district with distinction but that he is dedicated to ensuring that policies passed by this body are in the best interest of the entire state. His district, and others around the state are struggling with economic hardship brought on by high unemployment, we face a challenge like no other when it comes to addressing the states’ spending. Our budget situation needs his fresh perspective and realistic solutions. Now, more than ever, this body needs a leader like the gentleman from the 20th. Madame Chief Clerk, the 20th district representative has a vision of a better Washington for everyone lifting up families, employers and forging a new path of accountability and fiscal sanity in state government. I am honored to stand today to nominate the fine representative from the 20th to serve as Speaker of the House and I hope you will all join me in supporting Representative Richard DeBolt. Thank you Madame Chief Clerk.”

SPEAKERS’ REMARKS
Mr. Speaker: “Thank you Christine, for your kind remarks. Congratulations Pat, on your new post as Majority Leader. Congratulations Richard, on your election as Republican Leader, and congratulations to all the new and returning members. Welcome to the Peoples’ House. As we represent the people, let’s remember the best traditions of our nation. In America, we honor those who have gone before us, who sacrificed for us, and who faced far greater hardships than we do today.
Years ago, sitting at the kitchen table with my parents, hearing their stories of living through the Great Depression, I never thought that this nation would ever again see such financial hard times. While times are indeed tough, we need to remember that we are very fortunate compared to those who went before us.
In America, we embrace change, innovation, reform, energy and action. Democracy is designed to continually regenerate and renew our government. Given our financial challenges, that renewal must move faster. For every important challenge we face, we must find a real solution. We can be inspired by positive ideals, but we must also be prepared with creative ideas and ready for sustained, hard work over time.
In America we care for one another. We recognize our common humanity. The notion of people looking out for one another is fundamental to being American. If we carelessly decimate the safety and security of our most vulnerable citizens, we make all of us less safe, less secure. Instead, we must thoughtfully dedicate ourselves to reform and recharge the lifelines, for those among us who need our help. In America, we mobilize to meet the challenges before us to get the job done.
At our core, we are an optimistic people. In America, we believe in a better future for our kids. We cannot let the excess of Wall Street become an excuse for not making sure that every child is healthy, ready to learn, and has the opportunity to get a great education. It is the best hope for their future, and for our future.
We, the representatives of the people, can be part of these American traditions. Every one of us must do our part to help create a better future for all. We must do our part to help turn the Great Recession into the Great Recovery. We can do this if we work together and look beyond the current state of affairs; if we stay focused on the possibilities of new ways to solve old problems. We can rise to the occasion. We owe it to our parents, and to our children. This is America after all! Thank you.
POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Representative DeBolt: “Thank you Mr. Speaker, ladies and gentlemen of the House. I would like to thank you for your vote and hopefully next time it will be closer. It’s amazing to me that we all come here today to start a new session. For the returning members, I appreciate all your long summer work and I look forward to the opportunity to be working with you to solve the problems. To the new members, your task is more daunting because we have to do something different in Washington State and you are bringing the future with you. Each and every one of us, as we start our jobs, it makes us stop and think, what is a job? What does it mean? So many people are out of work, so many people don’t have jobs. It is kind of ironic that today we start by swearing in our job as a citizen legislature. A job to me does several things. As a citizen I work outside the legislature and I have a job to feed my family, to help better my community to be able to do more. I love that I am able to work and so many people right now in Washington State would love to work but they can’t. How many of us know the solutions that would put those people back to work? The ideas are here in the room, some of them are harder than others. Is it issuing permits in a timely manner? Is it not choosing an industry one day that you are going to support and hurt another industry in that same breathe. Are you going to support and raise all ships? Small business did not bring us to this recession. Small business is going to bring us out of it, yet the things we do here hurt small business every day. We guise it in this word of Wall Street or business. What this is, is our families, our neighbors and our friends and as we hurt them, by not allowing them to thrive and if they thrive then we have more revenue. If they thrive, we have less case loads. If they thrive, our safety net works. Sometimes when you stretch a safety net too far it becomes weak and it can’t even support the people it was meant to support. That is where we have arrived at today. Our safety net is stretched thin, our people want to work and we have to make decisions today, and for the next 105 days to make sure they have every opportunity to fulfill the dream of Washington State. It’s funny, our dreams are simple, our dreams are to go to work, work hard, feed our family, feed our neighbors, clothe our families, put roofs over our heads. They are not huge dreams but we should allow them to have those dreams. We have solutions that we need help from each of you across the aisle to implement. We know that we have some great ideas to solve the problem and I know together this body can do that. Every year we start out and we talk about the bi-partisanship that we’re going to have this session. We saw it in the special session that we can do it, didn’t we? It was an opportunity for us to work together. Did our caucus get everything we wanted? Did the Republicans like some of the things that were happening in that budget, no. I‘m sure, Mr. Speaker that there were things in that budget that you didn’t like. We passed it because we wanted to do what is best for the citizens of Washington State. If you’re concerned about jobs and you’re concerned about the economy, then those concerns will translate into fixing the biggest budget deficit that we have ever had and making responsible decisions. I encourage you to work with us, Mr. Speaker, anything I can do to help you just let me know and it was a pleasure to vote for you Mr. Speaker and I look forward to this session.”
ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE
Representative Jacks: “Thank you Mr. Speaker and congratulations. It is my tremendous good fortune today to rise in this House to nominate my colleague, my seatmate and my friend Jim Moeller to be Speaker Pro Tem. I believe he will be successful in this position for many different reasons. One of which is he is a terrific listener and some of you know that for two decades, in his day job, he has spent it listening closely to people and helping them. Second, he is a man of strongly held convictions and beliefs and he cherishes his opportunity to freely express those beliefs. Because he cherishes this freedom, he respects other peoples freedom to do the same. Democracy is based on an exchange of ideas and here on this floor the debate between different points of view is part of what makes us successful as an institution. I know that he will stand, literally for hours, he will stand unending to protect this exchange of ideas and to protect our points of view to make sure that we have an opportunity to express them. Jim Moeller will be your guardian Mr. Speaker, he will be my guardian as well and the guardian of every member in this House as we debate our ideas and we share our points of view, so he will stand for all of us and he will stand for this House and he will stand for the people of the State of Washington. I urge the bodys support.”

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE’S REMARKS
Speaker Pro Tempore Moeller: “Thank you Representative Jacks for your kind words. Fellow members it is with great humility and honor that I accept your trust and confidence as Speaker Pro Tem of this honorable and great House. Today, as we open this session, and as we pause in prayer after the national tragedy in Arizona, we know that we not only have the charge to do the peoples’ business, but we must hold debate that meets our highest standards. I will strive everyday to listen, to learn, to work in the true spirit of cooperation. I pledge myself to put the good of the people of the State of Washington and the United States above all things. I look forward to writing with you, a legislative record in this session of progress and of reform and vision for all Washingtonians. Fellow members we are gathered today at the beginning of the second millennium at the outset of the 62nd Legislature of the House of Representatives of the 42nd State. We are part of a thousand year story of parliaments of legislatures and assemblies of the English speaking world, a long story of neighbors electing neighbors and of assembling those elected to take up the duties of self government. You and I in this place, gathered for this reason, are part of a living tapestry of democracy. You and I, in our opening ceremonies today, are taking our place in an unbroken chain of people from a distant past and into the future hand-to-hand, generation-to-generation, in the cause of freedom from princes and kings. Now that long and flickering light shines on we who are gathered here today, a hundred generations turn their gaze on us as we prepare to take up the charge. It would be easy for anyone entering office today or coming back to this place, having been reconfirmed by the voters, to be overwhelmed by the scale of the issues we face. We have witnessed whole nations humbled by the economic forces beyond their control. We have witnessed the collapse of storied institutions of finance that were older than even this state. Everyone here, having so recently asked for the votes of the people, has witnessed the economic condition of our constituents, our friends and families. The great recession is blind to party, region, creed or orientation. No one has been immune from the recession’s awesome sweeping scale. Every part of the state struggles with those twin ugly siblings of unemployment and underemployment. We might take comfort in observing that the economic fire which raged completely out of control when we gathered here in January 2009 is now out but the crisis remains. The damage was widespread and the danger of a new flare up also remains. A long period of rebuilding now begins, but fellow members, perhaps for at least today we might reflect on this moment in a span of a much longer history and story of this state, our nation and the long traditions of freedom that this great House represents. Over and across the oceans and over and across the centuries, those who came before us faced down more and still managed to build a better place. In each of these great challenges there were new beginnings. We are the children of those birth pains, this is our inheritance, this amazing state filled with hard working and bright people. Let’s not forget, fellow members, that it is our state that taught the world how to fly, how to use a computer and, quite honestly, how to brew a decent cup of coffee. Now we face our challenges head on, we will not flinch nor will we fail, nor will we lose sight of the goal. From pioneer to homesteader, from logger to miner, from factory worker to software worker, we here in Washington aim to continue to show the world how it’s done. Let’s get to work, thank you.”
ELECTION OF THE CHIEF CLERK
Representative Liias: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. I nominate Barbara Baker for Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. I appreciated the comments by our new Speaker Pro Tem about the vast history of free peoples and of the importance of legislative assemblies like ours in crafting the future of our society. What is important to remember is in crafting that story every good author needs a scribe and here in the House of Representatives the Chief Clerk of the House is our scribe. She takes down our story as we pass laws and take actions on behalf of the people that have sent us here. It is important that we find a person of the highest caliber to be our scribe and to be the peoples voice in the process of legislating. That is why I nominated Barbara Baker. I had the unique privilege of casting one of my first votes for Barbara Baker as a new member as she was first elected our Chief Clerk. I have watched her discharge her responsibilities with fairness and compassion. In the history of the State of Washington there are times when the Chief Clerk could quite frankly be a partisan position. The majority would put that person in a position of power and it would be a tool of the majority. Here in this House, Barbara Baker has been a bi-partisan Chief Clerk. She has been a voice for the majority and the minority alike, she has been a voice for all the members of this chamber. She has been, in my experience, someone of good humor. Believe it or not, the people of the state may not believe it but sometimes we get a little frazzled around here. Sometimes energies run a little high as bills and amendments are flying around, and there in the center of it is Barbara Baker with a calm spirit and maybe a little joke or a remark to keep you on your way to help you discharge your responsibilities. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would say, if I could, I would nominate Bernard Dean and the other members of her team as well, because Barbara is as good as the team that is there to support her. So it is an honor to nominate Barbara and I urge all my colleagues to join me in voting for Barbara Baker as our Chief Clerk.”
Representative Ross: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. It’s my privilege to second the nomination today of Barb Baker as Chief Clerk of the Peoples’ House. Speaking from the other party, I want to say the same thing, that it’s been my experience that Barb runs this House with an amazing coolness and an amazing steady hand. At many times I will agree with you that emotions run high out here and for good reason. The motives that compel all of us are very powerful when we are here. Barb sits up there and attempts to try and calm the emotions and direct the conversation in many ways. I know, having sat out here and dialed star 73, feeling angry or overrun and hearing her voice reassuring me that we are going to fix this or were going to have your member speak, I have to make sure she knows that it is an amazing ability to communicate like she does over the phone with all of us out here for those of you who have called her. I think as we have talked of the amazing responsibility that we all have as members, I think her responsibility is even larger because there is only one of her, so it is my hope that she carries us in the right direction and I ask respectfully that we all vote for her today. Thank you.”

OATH OF OFFICE

CHIEF CLERK’S REMARKS
Chief Clerk Barbara Baker: “It is a very, very great honor to be elected and to hear those kind words and to address this body. Because of that over the last month or so I’ve devised three speeches to give today, none of which I’m going to give. I wanted to just hit on the highlights of the three thoughts that I had and leave you with that.
The first thing I was trying to figure out is a way to really convey how it is that you all and this institution are able to attract the best and the brightest as you go about the very, very difficult things you have to do. That took me to a thought about representative democracy. It took me to the founding fathers and the fact that this was a great experiment and democracies are fragile. Madison thought it might only last twenty years. He really never speculated what would replace it but it really is the institution and the fact that this place is much greater than the sum of its’ parts that enables us to recruit and retain unbelievably bright, diligent and dedicated people. I prepared this whole speech about founding fathers complete with quotes and I gave it to one of my friends. He asked me when I was done if he got academic credit for listening to me. I do want you to be proud, you really should be proud. This is the most important job anybody in this state has.
The second speech came to me as I was watching a certain football game this weekend and I’m not even a football fan, but when I watched Marshawn Lynch do that run, I guess it’s called “the run” now, what was really amazing in watching that run was that the whole rest of the Seahawks’ team was right with him. The quarterback was tackling people. I think there is a very important metaphor there for all of you, and I’m going to leave it to you to figure out what it is I’m thinking about.
On a much more somber note, I try always to think about something good coming from things that happen and from what happened this weekend in Arizona, there is nothing good about that. I know that you all accept a certain amount of risk being elected and sitting in these chairs and everybody in the gallery has to be slightly more concerned than in normal families about your safety. I was thinking about what good could come of that and instead of something good coming from that I wanted to affirm something that has been good since I’ve had this job. First off, my job is not only to be responsible for security in this House, but it is also to be responsible, to some extent, for decorum. If anybody gets out of line, or says mean things, especially in mailings, especially not on this floor because that’s the Speakers’ job, maybe you’ll get a call from me or a visit from me and I was worried about that when I took the job. I have not once had to talk to any of you about your decorum. I think if there is something good to come of the tragedies that happened this weekend it’s that we all reconsider, and continue to be as good as you have been about your speech and your conduct and having a presentation that is wise and respectful and kind. I really think both sides of the aisle have done an amazing job of that in very difficult circumstances, I ask you to keep it up. Bernard and I are very honored to serve this institution for the next two years and we appreciate every single one of you, so thank you.”
Speaker Chopp thanked Chief Justice Madsen and called upon Representatives Appleton and Rivers to escort the Justice from the Chamber.
