Senate appoints committee to notify governor, recesses for caucus
Summary
The presiding officer named Senators Dix McMillan, Milly Peterson and Craig Peterson to wait on the governor and inform him the Senate was ready to do business; the motion carried on a voice vote and the Senate recessed for caucus and lunch.
The presiding officer announced a committee appointment on the Senate floor, naming Senator Dix McMillan, Senator Milly Peterson and Senator Craig Peterson "to wait upon the governor and advise him that the senators gathered in second extraordinary session in accordance with his proclamation were ready to do business." The announcement was followed by a voice vote; the presiding officer called for "Those in favor say aye, opposed no," and declared, "Motion carries."
The presiding officer outlined the anticipated procedure for the day: complete preliminaries, go into caucus and lunch to discuss any governor appointments or caucus business, then reconvene on the floor to take action on the advising-and-consent items and hear a report from the Strategic Planning Committee. The chamber was instructed to try to finish by 2:00 p.m. so senators could attend their regular committee meetings.
After the voice vote, the presiding officer asked those handling the appointment work to move quickly because there was much business and some members wished to speak about the appointments. The Senate recessed for caucus and lunch.
