(A) RECOGNITION OF MEMBER. When any member desires to speak in debate or deliver any matter to the house, the member shall rise and respectfully address the speaker and pause until recognized.

(C) LIMITATION OF DEBATE.

No member shall speak more than twice on the same question without leave of the house: PROVIDED, That the chair of the committee or the mover of the question may close debate if it is consistent with Rule 18 (Previous Question).

Rules of Debate

Rule 17. The rules for debate in the house are as follows:

(A) QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. Any member may rise to a question of privilege and explain a personal matter, by leave of the speaker, but the member shall not discuss any pending question in such explanations.

(B) WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION, BILL, ETC. After a motion is stated by the speaker or a bill, memorial, resolution, petition, or remonstrance is read by the clerk, it shall be deemed to be in possession of the house, but may be withdrawn by consent of the house at any time before decision or amendment.

(C) READING OF A PAPER. When the reading of any paper is called for and is objected to by any member, it shall be determined by a vote of the house.

(D) DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS. Any materials of any nature distributed to the members' desks on the floor shall be subject to approval by the speaker and shall bear the name of at least one member granting permission for the distribution. This shall not apply to materials normally distributed by the chief clerk.

(E) ORDER OF QUESTIONS. All questions, whether in committee or in the house, shall be propounded in the order in which they are named except that in filling blanks, the largest sum and the longest time shall be put first.

(F) DIVISION OF POINTS OF DEBATE. Any member may call for a division of a question which shall be divided if it embraces subjects so distinct that one being taken away a substantive proposition shall remain for the decision of the house; but a motion to strike out and to insert shall not be divided. The rejection of a motion to strike out and to insert one proposition shall not prevent a motion to strike out and to insert a different proposition.

(G) DECORUM OF MEMBERS. While the speaker is putting the question, no member shall walk across or out of the house; nor when a member is speaking shall any member entertain private discourse or pass between the speaking member and the rostrum.

(H) REMARKS CONFINED. A member shall confine all remarks to the question under debate and avoid personalities. No member shall impugn the motive of any member's vote or argument.

(I) EXCEPTION TO WORDS SPOKEN IN DEBATE. If any member be called to order for words spoken in debate, the person calling the member to order shall repeat the words excepted to and they shall be taken down in writing at the clerk's table. No member shall be held in answer or be subject to the censure of the house for words spoken in debate if any other member has spoken before exception to them shall have been taken.

(J) TRANSGRESSION OF RULES - APPEAL. If any member, in speaking or otherwise, transgresses the rules of the house the speaker shall, or any member may, call the member to order, in which case the member so called to order shall immediately sit down unless permitted to explain; and the house shall, if appealed to, decide the case without debate; if there be no appeal, the decision of the chair shall prevail.

If the decision be in favor of the member called to order, the member shall be at liberty to proceed; if otherwise, and the case shall require it, the member shall be liable to the censure of the house.

Ending of Debate - Previous Question

Rule 18. The previous question may be ordered by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members present on all recognized motions or amendments which are debatable.

The previous question is not debatable and cannot be amended.

The previous question shall be put in this form: "Representative __________ demands the previous question. As many as are in favor of ordering the previous question will say 'Aye'; as many as are opposed will say 'No'."

The results of the motion are as follows: If determined in the negative, the consideration goes on as if the motion had never been made; if decided in the affirmative it shall have the effect of cutting off all debate and bringing the house to a direct vote upon the motion or amendment on which it has been ordered: PROVIDED HOWEVER, That when a bill is on final passage or when the motion to postpone indefinitely is pending, one of the sponsors of the bill or the chair of the committee may have the privilege of closing debate after the previous question has been ordered.

If an adjournment is had after the previous question is ordered, the motion or proposition on which the previous question was ordered shall be put to the house immediately following the approval of the journal on the next working day, thus making the main question privileged over all other business, whether new or unfinished.

Voting

Rule 19. (A) PUTTING OF QUESTION. The speaker shall put the question in the following form: "The question before the house is (state the question). As many as are in favor say 'Aye'; and after the affirmative vote is expressed, "as many as are opposed say 'No'."

(B) ALL MEMBERS TO VOTE. Every member who was in the house when the question was put shall vote unless, for special reasons, excused by the house.

All motions to excuse a member shall be made before the house divides or before the call for yeas and nays is commenced; and any member requesting to be excused from voting may make a brief and verbal statement of the reasons for making such request, and the question shall then be taken without further debate.

Upon a division and count of the house on the question, only members at their desks within the bar of the house shall be counted.

(C) CHANGE OF VOTE. When the electric roll call machine is used, no member shall be allowed to vote or change a vote after the speaker has locked the roll call machine. When an oral roll call is taken, no member shall be allowed to vote or change a vote after the result has been announced.

(D) PRIVATE INTEREST. No member shall vote on any question which affects that member privately and particularly. A member who has a private interest in any bill or measure proposed or pending before the legislature shall disclose the fact to the house of which he is a member, and shall not vote thereon. (Art.

ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER

Representative Sullivan: “Thank you Madame Clerk, I rise to nominate Representative Frank Chopp. I want to start, there might be a little confusion, especially for those members who have only been here for a couple years or the people who have been watching TVW over the last couple years, the good gentleman from the 49^th sitting next to me served as Speaker Pro-Tem for the last two years, the shorter guy with the moustache, that you don’t see as often, is Representative Frank Chopp, who has been nominated today. But in all seriousness, Madame Clerk, it really is an honor to rise today in support of this nomination of Speaker Chopp. I think if you talk to people around here, what they think of Representative Chopp, you will get a variety of opinions. They would all agree, I think, on a couple of different things. First and foremost is his passion. His passion for helping people. His passion for this institution that we represent. I think you would also get agreement about the success, his success in serving as the longest serving Speaker in the history of the State of Washington. But more importantly, his success in building agendas and moving those agendas through the process for the benefit of the State of Washington and to the people who live here. I know one of the things I’m most impressed with about Representative Chopp, is his sense of humility and his work ethic. A lot of us, after we pass bills, we’re all excited, we run to the press and we want the accolades, Representative Chopp actually runs from the press. But again, seriously, Representative Chopp is one of those people who just won’t accept the credit, he will give the credit to the people who are working on these issues, to the people he trusts here in this institution, which is all of us. He is also one who just simply after passing something that he has worked on, for sometimes years, simply rolls up his sleeves and goes to work on the next task at hand and that is just the type of leader that he is and why I have so much respect for him, and that’s why I’m honored to stand here today and ask for your support to elect Representative Frank Chopp as our Speaker for the next two years.”

Representative Kretz: “I’d like to nominate Representative DeBolt. Well I got here eight years ago and I remember when I first met Richard, I wasn’t too impressed. We didn’t really hit it off right away and it stayed that way for a while actually, but as the years went on and we spent more time together and got to know each other better, I was really struck. I think this is the best description of Richard DeBolt I could give. He is an honest, principled, compassionate, actually a kind person, he just hides it really well. After eight years of working together and seeing who he really is and seeing how much he cares about the people of this state and this institution, I’m proud to nominate Richard DeBolt.”

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Representative DeBolt: “Well after a speech like that I should probably withdraw my name. I would like to withdraw my name from nomination for Speaker of the House.”

SPEAKERS’ REMARKS

Mr. Speaker: “Welcome to the People’s House! Before I get rolling, I’d like to introduce my wife, Nancy. And let’s hear it for all the spouses and family members who sacrifice for us. Let us welcome back the Republican Leader, Richard DeBolt. And the Majority Leader, Pat Sullivan. Thanks Pat, for your kind words. The new members here today represent over 20 percent of our group. Will all the new members of the House please stand. Welcome! As part of the orientation for the new members, let me introduce myself. My name is Frank Chopp and I’m the Speaker of the House. I thought I might need to introduce myself more formally, because at the dinner for new House members last week with Governor Inslee, I was congratulating one new member on his recent election. He then asked me if I was one of the State Troopers protecting the new Governor. By the way, I took his question to be a compliment. Being considered part of a security detail, I thought that was pretty cool.

We all remember the learning curve of being a new member. But I want you to know that we greatly appreciate all the talent and experience you bring to this endeavor. We will also learn from you. In particular, we are fortunate to have two active public school teachers joining our ranks. With all the focus on basic education, it’s going to be great to have with us educators who understand the challenges of the classroom. I would also like to recognize the returning members for all that they have done. Just to mention one member, I hope he doesn’t mind, Gary Alexander. Last session, when we were facing a thorny proposal about balanced budgets, Gary came up with a new approach that solved the dilemma. I just want to say thanks Gary.

Thank you all, for serving in the House. We are elected to represent the people who are still experiencing the effects of the Great Recession brought on by the schemes and swaps of Wall Street. And despite the impact of the Great Recession on the state’s budget, we have the potential to advance a great agenda for our people. As we build a Great Recovery, let us work together to: Improve basic education for the one million students in our public schools. Extend health care to over 350,000 adults through our Basic Health Plan and cover 800,000 children with Apple Health. Strengthen the safety net to protect the most vulnerable, which, at some points in our lives, will include everyone. Promote opportunity for hundreds of thousands of college students, who are just asking for the same chances that we had when we were growing up. Create jobs for tens of thousands of the unemployed by investing in the infrastructure that will benefit all 6.8 million people in Washington state. That’s a lot of good we can do. Let’s start with Basic Education.

The McCleary decision is clear. We must make a significant down payment to support the students in our schools. Luckily, this House is leading the way. The reforms we championed in House Bills 2261 and 2776 were cited by the State Supreme Court as a guide for better meeting our constitutional mandate to provide a quality education for all students. You should be proud of the role that so many of you have played in leading the way long before the Court made its decision. As we fund education, let us always focus on the students. Let us start early in the lives of our students, since early learning is so critical to lifelong success. Let us all work towards equity in education. To close the opportunity gap, we must address poverty. Education involves more than just the classroom. Sick, hungry, or homeless children struggle in school. The health of our students is connected to the education of their minds. To succeed in school, kids need to be healthy and ready to learn. That’s why we are so proud of our Apple Health for All Kids. 95 percent of all kids in Washington now have health coverage. But 95 percent isn’t good enough. We must do better. By the way, Apple Health could also provide a way to help fund school nurses. But as we all know, the young are not the only ones who need health care.

Thanks to the President’s Affordable Care Act, adults will be able to get the coverage they need. Let me ask a simple question. Does anyone here want to go without health care? Of course not. Health care is a fundamental human need. But we must ensure that health care is affordable, that the new Health Care Exchange is efficient, and that the Medicaid expansion is based on the proven success of our own Basic Health Plan. Health care is only one part of our safety net.

Everyone, on both sides of the aisle, says that we must protect the most vulnerable. We should turn that rhetoric into reality. Children who are victims of neglect and abuse. Foster kids without a home. Elders suffering from dementia. People with disabilities who are not able to work. The mentally ill. Those who need our compassion to help meet their basic needs of food, health, and shelter. In decades past, the mentally ill would suffer not just from their illness, but also from stigma and shame. Now, everyone has a friend or a family member who has experienced the despair of mental illness. Mental illness is not a lifestyle choice or the result of making bad decisions. We must leave the middle ages when thinking about the health of our brains. Every day, we see evidence of how mental illness affects not just individuals, but entire communities as well. We need to translate this awareness into action.

Another action we must take is to create opportunity for all. For a parent, there is no greater, heart-warming pride than to see our son or daughter graduate from college or complete a certificate or apprenticeship. That joy can turn to anguish when young people can’t afford to attend, let alone graduate. When students are burdened with debt beyond hope. There are many challenges before us. For example: 30,000 students eligible for financial aid do not receive it for lack of funding of the state need grant. The downward direction for higher education must be reversed. With a new direction, we can: Deliver what our businesses need. Help our students become free of debt. Ensure equal opportunity. Reform our institutions, and invest in the next generation. As part of this new direction, we call upon those in the economy who directly benefit from higher education. There are many professions and industries that would not exist if not for higher education. With a new dynamic, we will not only change individual lives, but transform our entire society.

Another way to transform our society is to create jobs. We should be proud that last year, in the midst of a slow recovery, we enacted the Jobs Now Act of 2012. The result? Over 20,000 jobs that not only hired the unemployed, but built and renovated new schools, made public facilities more energy efficient, created new homes for the disabled, and offered hope to businesses across the state. So much for the notion that government doesn’t create jobs. We need to do that again, but on a larger scale, through our capital budget and new transportation improvements. Our state’s businesses are counting on those investments. But those investments also depend on the public’s perception of their government. That is why in every legislative session, there are calls for changing government to make it more responsive to the people.

Every year, we have enacted significant reforms. Simple majority for school levies. Performance audits. Insurance Fair Conduct. Mortgage foreclosure fairness. Apple Health for all Kids. Mental health parity. Medicaid fraud prevention. New evaluations for teachers. The health care exchange to implement the Affordable Care Act. Marriage equality. And much more.

You want more reform? Well, how about fully funding Basic Education? That’s reform! How about Basic Health Plan coverage for 350,000 of the uninsured? That’s reform! How about inspiring teachers with better professional development? That’s reform! How about encouraging voter participation, not repressing it as other states have done? That’s reform! And when we do reforms, we must always look out for the best interests of the people we represent. And as we go forward, there must be simplicity, transparency, and accountability in our efforts. We must track our progress. I call them, “Progress Points.” Clear, simple goals that we set for ourselves, that are visible to everyone, and are easily understood. The percent of students graduating from high school, percent of children with health care coverage, percent of Washington jobs filled with Washington state residents, Those are just three Progress Points. We should have a Top Ten. And maybe we should have the Progress Points running across the bottom of our legislative computer screens, just like the scores of football games on your home TV. We should relentlessly innovate and support the efforts that work to meet those goals. For example, the College Success Foundation, which serves as the lead for Opportunity Scholarships, has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to help low-income college students all across Washington. And starting in Tacoma, the foundation has created a systematic approach of mentoring high school students, first to graduate from high school and then to succeed in college. They have already seen great progress. All those changes are great policy, looking out for the greater good.

In many cases, public policy is informed by our own personal experience. One of the reasons I care so much about education is the history of my own family. During the Great Depression, my Dad had to go to work at the age of 12 at the coal mines in Roslyn, and my Mom didn’t finish high school, until she went back at age 69 and earned her high school diploma at the Green River Community College. From my parent’s generation to mine, opportunity grew enormously. We cannot stand by and let those opportunities erode for the next generation. Sometimes, when we look at all that needs to be done, we can get exhausted. Sometimes, a small thing renews our faith in the future.Just a week ago, I attended an awards ceremony sponsored by the VFW: Patriot’s Pen: a Youth Essay Writing Contest. The community hall was packed. The coffee was strong. The dessert, unfortunately, was not Hostess Cupcakes. But the spirit was festive, nonetheless. The young winners that day came from all different backgrounds; from all different parts of the world; of all different races, and of different ages, from 3rd grade to high school. In the young people there, I saw the faces of our future of a new America. A more diverse, and therefore, a stronger America. The kids defined their love of their country as contributing to the community and caring for each other. Let me quote from parts of one essay, entitled, “What I Would Tell America’s Founding Fathers”. Dear Founding Fathers, It was all worth something, all the hard work you did. You made a difference: by taking a chance, by trusting a mere experiment, and by not giving up. You gave us a chance to make a difference. You gave us a chance to make America great, by creating representative government, and we did. I am proud to be an American, living in the America that you started. Thank you for giving me, and everyone else, a chance to make a difference, and change the world. Those were the words of my great niece, Oakley. Well, guess what, she won first place that day. Her essay brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Oakley, for making a difference in my life. Someday, I hope you will help us recognize the Founding Mothers of the future, not just the Founding Fathers from the past.

Each of us here has a story. There’s one among us with a particularly inspiring story. He’s part of a family of new Americans. And despite losing his sight at a young age, he could still envision a career as a lawyer and a campaign to get elected as a new lawmaker. It’s a real American story. And it’s part of the reason why we believe in One Nation and in One Washington. We are all in this together. We are all Americans striving to give our children a better world.

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Representative DeBolt: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. Very nice speech, I enjoyed it a great deal, especially the opening remarks about your State Patrol background. I think it’s the guns you carry with you everywhere you go, quite scary. As we stand here today and we stand before the body as the minority party, we are excited to get to work this year. We were able to pass and work on a budget in the past two years. We’re a minority party that put out solutions in the way of the budget. We brought it to the table and we influenced policy, you heard it from the Speaker today. We made an un-winnable situation, where everybody thought we needed revenue, into a situation where we knew we didn’t. We are excited to stand here today though, to solve more problems for Washington State. As I think about it, I think about the challenges ahead of us, and I think about our new Governor and what we need to do to support him. One of the things we have to support him in, is he said he didn’t want to raise taxes. He said that we didn’t need new revenue, we could solve the problem within the revenue we have. I agree Mr. Speaker. The thing that we have to do, as you talk about the great recession, we have to think about what is a great recession. What is the driver of the great recession? Is it that we need bigger government? Is that what a great recession is about? Or is it about we need jobs? Mr Speaker. When we talk about the great recovery, where do we sit as it is compared to our neighbors in Oregon and Idaho, even California. They are recovering, we have yet to begin. Why is that Mr. Speaker? Because we are not making the changes necessary to do what? Create jobs. This is a problem that we are having, opportunity gaps. As we talk about the opportunity gaps, Mr. Speaker, what is that opportunity gap? The opportunity gap is about poverty, it’s about families that are struggling, that can’t make it through their lives. They are sitting there looking at their checkbooks everyday wondering what they are going to sacrifice today because they don’t have what Mr. Speaker? A job. It’s not about Seattle jobs, it’s about the entire States’ jobs. The rural areas of Washington State are dying, Mr. Speaker, because we don’t think of them. Whether it’s a growth management act that is a cookie cutter government that has been placed upon us that worked for King County, maybe works for Pierce County, but it’s strangling and killing rural Washington because we can’t locate businesses there. If you don’t have jobs, you don’t have revenue, it’s a simple equation. Socioeconomic woes are solved by a job and yet, Mr. Speaker, we hear that government is the way to create jobs to get out of this problem. We have picked winners and losers in the job market for too long. We have to raise the whole ship. We have to make sure rural Washington has the same opportunities as urban Washington. We need to make sure that every child has an opportunity to an education. We need to make sure that every teacher has a safe environment to work in. How do we do that? How do we make people better environmentalists? Anybody know? When you are a better environmentalist, is when you are working. That’s when you don’t change your own oil and dump it down the drain. That’s when you take precautions because you have a job to be able to pay for it, to do it right. That is when you can go out and get a new car that creates revenue for the State of Washington. Washingtonians don’t feel empowered right now because they are not working. We have 13 percent unemployment in one of my counties, 13. Is there opportunity there? We can’t get permits, Mr. Speaker that we need to build jobs. Is that government creating jobs or is that government hindering jobs? Mr. Speaker, we cannot tax our way out of the problems that we are facing today. Any time that we think that we can make it more expensive on those families of Washington to make decisions on what they are going to buy, because they’re not sure if they can afford a gallon of gas anymore, or if they can afford their property taxes anymore, anything we do to make it more expensive on them or their companies, or their employers, or lack of employers, we’re doing them a disservice. So we’re committed to three things in our caucus, funding education first, making it a priority, giving it its own budget, and making sure the children of Washington know that they are a priority and that the court knows they are a priority. We are committed to jobs. More importantly, making personal incomes rise, giving people more disposable income, more opportunities, more chances to send their kids to college to do better for their families, to be better environmentalists and be better Washingtonians Mr. Speaker. And lastly, the thing that we need to focus on the most is a sustainable budget that focuses on the mental health and public safety of Washingtonians. That we can do this within the parameters that we have set if we make the right choices. We can’t cave to special interests Mr. Speaker, we have to do what is right, we can’t pick winners and losers, we can do this, we’ve done this before. We’re only 900 million down folks, we did it with 2 billion down last time, this is a cake walk right? So Mr. Speaker, we have got to work within our means, and I’m here to commit to you, that any time you want solutions and suggestions; Gary is at your beck and call. Our caucus promises to you, to be open, honest and transparent. That we will give you everything we have to solve the problems in the State of Washington no matter who gets the credit, we want to bring our ideas forward, Mr. Speaker, and get us out on time. Thank you Mr. Speaker.”

ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

Representative Wylie: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. I knew Jim for more than ten years before I came here the last couple of years and I know very well his integrity, his passion, his gentleness and his concern for the members of our state. But there is more. For those of you that are new to this body, the Speaker Pro Tem has a job that moves the process along. We come here because we have a lot of passion. Sometimes we disagree about what are the priorities and how we address those. The Speaker Pro Tem moves the process along. We listen to his voice. He pays attention to the process, he administers it fairly and he makes sure we can all use our voices on behalf of our constituents. We all know, most of us, that Jim can do this job, that Representative Moeller has done a good job, but he does better than a good job. His speed and clarity can help us get things done and he has got a voice that we listen to for long hours and it’s a nice voice to listen to. I am proud to nominate my friend, Representative Jim Moeller.”

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORES’ REMARKS

Speaker Pro Tempore Moeller: “Thank you members, Sharon for your kind words! My fellow legislators, colleagues and friends; as we celebrated with family and friends over the holidays, our nation and state experienced the horrors of the shootings at Clackamas Mall in Oregon and the elementary school shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. As the children were evacuated from their school, they were told, “close your eyes”. Again, we have been reminded of the professionalism, decency and outstanding dedication to the people of this nation by our teachers, policemen, firemen and other first responders. In the midst of shock, they provide composure and protection for our children. They provide healing for the injured and protection for us all. They have set the standard for public service, and may we strive to match their commitment. But we should think about that command close your eyes and what it means for you and me. The children were asked to close their eyes, to protect them from horror but those who led them out, had to keep their eyes wide open. It made me ask, have we, the adults, and in this House, the people who pass laws, have we too often closed our eyes? You and I this morning are part of a great continuity. Hand to hand, generation-to-generation, and even from one continent to another, we hold in our hands a tremendous legacy, a high responsibility, and an historic responsibility connecting this house to assemblies and parliaments stretching back seven centuries. Along with this privilege comes this mandate, we cannot close our eyes, we must not close our eyes. In the days to come, we will study reports of slender resources, an economy healing slowly; even as we retire thousands of baby boomers every passing day, confront escalating health care costs, and must live within the discipline of global competition. We will live with limits, but limits and prudence must not be a formula for indifference or even apathy. It falls to you and me to look our challenges square in the eye. We cannot close our eyes to thousands of middle class families now cast down into genteel poverty. We cannot close our eyes to the ongoing needs of veterans returning from wars, wars that are still running, with injuries and many challenges as they struggle to come all the way home. We cannot close our eyes to the homeless and to vulnerable adults. We cannot close our eyes to our children, pride of our nation, the future of our country. And here’s something we must look right in the eye, mental illness. We have ignored it, we have looked away and now our neglect has become lethal. All of us here have taken an oath before man and God in order to begin our formal service to the state and people of Washington. We swore an oath before God, and the eyes of God are not closed. He will surely witness our actions in this place, and whether we see our brothers who sleep in the dust, or if we see our sisters who weep in mourning for the loss of children. He will see- and my friends- we must act! I pray that as your Speaker Pro Tem, that I will be worthy of your trust, that I will every day earn your confidence, and that together we will write a record of progress, meeting the needs of our time. President Kennedy once said that we choose to do the hard things, the challenging things because they are hard, and because it’s our moment and our responsibility to take them on, with open eyes, full hearts, integrity and calm determination. So let it be with us. May God bless this House and the great State of Washington. Let’s get to work. Thank you!”

ELECTION OF DEPUTY SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

Representative Carlyle: “Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to place in nomination the name of the distinguished, noble and honorable gentlelady from the 33rd District, Representative Tina Orwall, for the position of Deputy Speaker Pro Tempore. It is well recognized Mr. Speaker that the 98 members of this distinguished institution have the gracious and dignified gentlelady from the 33rd to thank for our fancy new voting machines. Due to her violent destruction of our previous machine in the previous session of this Legislature, we are relieved of the discomfort of those relics of a previous century. Due to this singular accomplishment alone, it is unimaginable that anyone else could conceivably cruise to victory against her candidacy this year. However, to ensure against this remote prospect, I offer to remind my colleagues of her firm grasp of parliamentary procedure, her fair and equitable approach to leading this Chamber and her straightforward command of the legislative tasks of the day. She is well versed in the nuance of respect for all and it is with unbridled hope for an easy victory that you will stand with me in voting for the indefatigable gentlelady from the 33rd District. Thank you Mr. Speaker.”

DEPUTY SPEAKER PRO TEMPORES’ REMARKS

Deputy Speaker Pro Tempore Orwall: “Thank you Mr. Speaker, and also thank the good gentleman from the 36th Legislative District for those kind words and his support. We work in a sacred institution. We come here all from all areas across this great state. We hold different perspectives and beliefs. But most importantly, we bring forward the voices of the people we represent. I have been serving in the legislature for four years, and I can tell you that it is full of people who are hard-working, dedicated, who care deeply about this state and the people they serve. We have some challenges ahead of us but I know that working together we can find solutions and move this state forward. I want to say thank you to the members for your support and for allowing me this opportunity. I promise that I will work hard in my position to ensure that there is open and respectful debate and that all voices will be heard. I also promise that I will try not to break the voting machine.”

ELECTION OF THE CHIEF CLERK

Representative Ormsby: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. My reasons for nominating Barbara Baker for Chief Clerk are both personal and professional. The first day I arrived at the Capitol, one of the first folks that I met was Barbara in a different capacity, but who instilled in me the reverence of this institution and how we must conduct ourselves in fulfilling our obligation. We have seen moments of levity today but it is, as Chief Justice Madsen said, a just body and should be treated that way. It’s no mistake that the majesty and grandeur of this Chamber is as it should be so that we conduct ourselves. Barbara instilled in me on that very first day the importance of that and that is what she brings as Chief Clerk. The professional reasons for my nominating Barbara Baker for this position have to do with the job she does and I imagine that we could ask any number of members here what the job of the Chief Clerk is, and they wouldn’t know. I can tell you, that if it wasn’t being done, and done well, we would know what the job of the Chief Clerk was. That is why it’s important that they perform so well. The job of the Chief Clerk is to oversee all House employees and that includes the members. Barbara does it with great aplomb and does bring the sanctity and the reverence that this institution deserves. The way that Barbara goes about it, I would just describe in this way; a very communicative manner, she does it openly and transparently, she is accountable, she is fair, firm and consistent and for those reasons I ask you to support me in supporting Barbara Baker for Chief Clerk.”

Representative Orcutt: “Thank you Mr. Speaker. We got a new system here so I had to look somewhere else to find out when the mike was on. I also rise in support of Barb Baker, her nomination for Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. When we took the oath of office, and I don’t have the oath of office for the Chief Clerk, but I’m sure there are some parts of that that are very similar to the ones we just took. The most important part that I want to focus on is the part that says I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties. In her case it will be of the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. Faithfully and impartially. Let me take the faithfully part first. You heard a little about what the job entails. Facilities is a big part of it and we’ve had a lot of changes in facilities around here the last few years. We had construction on the John L. O’Brien building and a plan was put together to try and do the work over a four year period, try to do it during the interims and try to do it in a way that didn’t disturb staff. Well, the first year we found out that didn’t work. Barb went back to work on finding another way of doing it. She worked diligently, she worked with people on both sides of the aisle to come up with a solution that worked well for members, for staff, and I’m glad to report it saved the taxpayers money with the solution they came to as a result of the work that she did and we all should applaud her, if for nothing else, for that. Then, there are other issues that come up. As soon as she gets done with one, something else, that she had no idea was coming, pops up. We have had issues with the IRS who didn’t like the way that we were doing member reimbursements and she had to take that on. Then we just heard about the voting machine issue last year with the gentlelady from the 33^rd, and that’s another issue that the Chief Clerk had to take on. Mr. Speaker, she faithfully discharges the duties of the office impartially. She works with members from both sides of the aisle, she listens to ideas from people from both sides of the aisle. If somebody from the minority has a concern, they can and should feel confident that when they go and talk to Barbara Baker she will listen, and she will do her level best to be fair. In all of my experiences with Barb Baker, she has been fair and I feel confident that when she takes that oath of office, to faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives that she will do exactly that.”

CHIEF CLERKS’ REMARKS

Chief Clerk Barbara Baker: “Four years ago was the first time I had the honor of addressing this body. Then, I spoke a lot about the importance of institutional history and about a man named Si Holcomb, who served as Chief Clerk for 33 years – from 1933 until he died in office in 1965. It was kind of a long speech. I won’t be doing that today. But I do have two quick points that I want to make. The gist of that speech was that even though I didn’t (and still don’t) know much about him, I hoped that our work here for the House would also stand the test of time. What none of us knew then was how difficult these four years would be. Our method to get through them was to use as a decision-making benchmark a goal that every person who works here shares and that is to support all the members of the House in every decision that we make. We decided on two bedrock principles that guide every decision: to be fully respectful, and to be fair. Because I believe that if there is one thing that will raise emotion, that will make a person feel hurt or to be angry, it is to believe that you aren’t being treated fairly. So, unlike Si Holcomb, there will be no pictures of me in the halls as a little old lady. But I want to let you know that I am honored by the kind words expressed here today, and especially by your vote to elect me - and by extension the others who work here - because it is a vote of confidence and it signals that we are living up to your expectations. Please let me or Bernard Dean know directly if a situation ever arises in which that is not the case. The second thing I want to say is to thank the families of the members for loaning them to us and the people of this state both during campaign seasons and legislative sessions. Of course it is a great honor, but it can also get lonely for those who are left at home. We all know what it feels like, and we know there will be nights and weekends when spouses will be doing double duty and kids will receive a goodnight phone call instead of getting tucked in. If it’s any consolation, I raised two beautiful daughters as a legislative staffer and they turned out just fine. One of them is sitting here and I’d like to close by introducing her and telling her how proud I am. So, this is my daughter, Cadence. Welcome aboard or welcome back. It is going to be fun, and thanks again.”

Speaker Chopp thanked Chief Justice Madsen and called upon Representatives Johnson and Hansen to escort the Justice from the Chamber.

There being no objection, the House advanced to the fourth order of business.
