REMARKS BY U.S. SENATOR SLADE GORTON

U.S. Senator Gorton: “Thank you Mr. President and thank you members of the Senate for this distinct honor. Particularly for the highly personal remarks by so many of you on both sides of the aisle. Especially impressive, I think, because my only experience in this building was on the other side of that great gulf, not in this body at all.

For some reason or another, much of the talk has been about redistricting. And I have been on both sides of that great gulf in that respect. The last time I was in the Legislature and the Legislature did it’s redistricting, it took four years, and they were four rather brutal years, before a successful and valid set of lines were drawn. The legislators who lived right after that were extremely wise in taking that highly personal system out of the Legislature itself and putting it in the hands of a four member voting commission. It is my view, having done redistricting in the Legislature and outside the Legislature, that the state of Washington now has the single best system in the United States of America for redrawing both congressional and legislative district lines. And what makes it, for all practical purposes, unique is that there are two republicans and two democrats who must work together to make the venture a success. Almost every other state that does it by commission, the republican members and the democratic members join together to elect a tie-breaker, and one party always guesses wrong. It ends up still being a partisan enterprise. In the state of Washington it is not, it is truly bipartisan. The net result of which has been we have never had a significant challenge to the way in which redistricting was done in this state. And today you read about all kinds of states that are still worried about the redistricting taking place after the year 2010. So you can congratulate yourselves, I think, on being in the best state for that normally highly partisan, but now, by reason of our system, bipartisan system of working.

One other thing I would like to say is I look on you as men and women of great privilege. In serving a state that is as dramatic and as rapidly growing as the state of Washington. You face all kinds of challenges as a result. For many, our economic success has been a tremendous bonanza, but many parts of the state haven’t shared in it and many people in our metropolitan areas have not shared in it either. As a result of which you spend, you face, very, very difficult complex challenges. The penalty for not meeting those challenges is you keep on facing the same challenges all over again. The reward of meeting them successfully is that each successful venture creates two more challenges in its place. You have that opportunity. You have it here today and, with your wisdom, we will continue to have it as a state for many years to come.

So, I envy you. You are doing wonderful work. You are doing fascinating work. You are doing work that individually frustrates you from time to time but you are doing the work of a free society and I believe I can say, you’re doing it well.

Thank you for this honor.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Wagoner: “Well, I think it is traditional to make some remarks and I want to thank some people. First, I would like to thank my mentor on the Republican side, Senator Honeyford, for teaching me the ropes and the rules. However, he neglected to remind me to wear body armor tonight. I guess I am a little slow on the uptake because I should have learned a lesson. I see my esteemed colleague from the 45^th is still wearing her red sweater which I think covers up the blood from what you did to her the other night. So I think the next bill I would like to introduce would provide for another protected class and anti-bullying, and that would be freshmen senators. But in all seriousness, I’d also like to thank the Chairs of the two committees I sit on for giving me some mentorship and some opportunities to learn, and I stole from the gentleman from the 36^th this morning when he was addressing Senator Slade Gorton, and he talked about grace and kindness, and you have all treated me with grace and kindness here. I deeply appreciate that.

The gift on your desk tonight, I was going to bring water but we didn’t have any in Skagit County. [Laughter] But that is a good thing because I think you are going to like this a lot better. This is an apple wine that comes from Eagle Haven Winery, which is just to the east of Sedro Wooley. Those of you visiting the area, maybe to do the Cascade loop, should stop in. It is a wonderful venue with a tasting room. The origins of the Eagle Haven Winery are in the Perkins Orchard which was established in 1968. So they have about twenty acres of apples and I will leave you to be the judge of whether their product is as good as I think it is. Thank you very much Mr. President.”

The senate rose and recognized Senator Wagoner.

MOTION

On motion of Senator Billig, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5108 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5108 and the substitute bill was placed on the second reading and read the second time.

MOTION

Senator Billig moved that the following striking amendment no. 512 by Senator Billig be adopted:

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. The legislature finds that the public has the right to know who is contributing to election campaigns in Washington state and that campaign finance disclosure deters corruption, increases public confidence in Washington state elections, raises the level of debate, and strengthens our representative democracy.

The legislature finds that campaign finance disclosure is overwhelmingly supported by the citizens of Washington state as evidenced by the two initiatives that largely established Washington's current system. Both passed with more than seventy-two percent of the popular vote, as well as winning margins in every county in the state.

One of the cornerstones of Washington state's campaign finance disclosure laws is the requirement that political advertisements disclose the sponsor and the sponsor's top five donors. Many political action committees have avoided this important transparency requirement by funneling money from political action committee to political action committee so the top five donors listed are deceptive political action committee names rather than the real donors. The legislature finds that this practice, sometimes called "gray money" or "donor washing," undermines the intent of Washington state's campaign finance laws and impairs the transparency required for fair elections and a healthy democracy.

Therefore, the legislature intends to close this disclosure loophole, increase transparency and accountability, raise the level of discourse, deter corruption, and strengthen confidence in the election process by prohibiting political committees from receiving an overwhelming majority of their funds from one or a combination of political committees.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. A new section is added to chapter 42.17A RCW to read as follows:

(1) For any requirement of including "top five contributors" information under RCW 42.17A.320 or any other provision of this chapter, the persons or entities making the largest contributions shall be determined solely as follows:

(5) Each parent is entitled to recover for his or her own loss separately from the other parent regardless of marital status, even though this section creates only one cause of action((~~, but if the parents of the child are not married, are separated, or not married to each other damages may be awarded to each plaintiff separately, as the trier of fact finds just and equitable~~)).

(6) If one parent brings an action under this section and the other parent is not named as a plaintiff, notice of the institution of the suit, together with a copy of the complaint, shall be served upon the other parent: PROVIDED, That notice shall be required only if parentage has been duly established.

Such notice shall be in compliance with the statutory requirements for a summons. Such notice shall state that the other parent must join as a party to the suit within twenty days or the right to recover damages under this section shall be barred. Failure of the other parent to timely appear shall bar such parent's action to recover any part of an award made to the party instituting the suit.

((In such an action, in addition to damages for medical, hospital, medication expenses, and loss of services and support, damages may be recovered for the loss of love and companionship of the child and for injury to or destruction of the parent-child relationship in such amount as, under all the circumstances of the case, may be just.))
