Journal of the House



Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly


THIRTY-SEVENTH DAY, Wednesday, March 8, 2000



Speaker Pro Tem Kreider in the Chair.



Prayer by Father David Buescher.



Today, Lord God, is Ash Wednesday. Whatever our religious affiliation, it is good for all of us to pause occasionally, and look a bit at our dark side, God. Help us to attune ourselves with those parts of ourselves which live in the shadow, and need to come to the light. Help us to still our souls - to go into the desert enough - to uncover that which is too proud, too selfish, too ego-centered.



The words, "You are dust, and unto dust you will return," can be a challenge towards commitment to this world and to our earthy lives which need unity with You. Help this House, Lord, find hope in a season of renewal. Thank You, God, for the time to return to You in all we do, work, and play. Amen.



The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.



The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Megan O'Brien, Emily Knobbe, Ina Redstone, Blaise Hart-Schmidt, Jeff Scott, Joe Roeder, Cal Broz, Matt Clausen, Derek Schloman, Matthew Johnson, Matt Hellis, Bradley Harris, Stacey Zylka, Kara King and Colleen Heck.



The Journal of the thirty-sixth day was approved as corrected by the following vote:
