Senate honors longtime legislative staffer Bill Asplund on his retirement
Summary
The Senate read a resolution honoring O. William 'Bill' Asplund for 28 years of service; Asplund addressed the chamber and colleagues delivered tributes before the body dissolved into the Committee of the Whole to hear him.
Sen. Hilliard introduced SGR 11, a resolution honoring O. William 'Bill' Asplund for 28 years of service to the Utah Legislature. The resolution recited Asplund’s biography — born April 29, 1939 in Alberta, Canada; graduate work and long service in legislative research, counsel and staffing of numerous committees — and called out his patient and steady contributions to the legislative process.
The Senate dissolved into the Committee of the Whole for remarks. Asplund thanked the body, spoke briefly about his years on the job and his family, and senators from across the chamber offered personal recollections of his professionalism and mentorship. The body recessed the Committee of the Whole and returned to business after the tributes.
