Senate unanimously approves bridge dedication in honor of Chief Special Warfare Officer Jason Ray Workman
Summary
The Utah Senate placed House Bill 216 on the consent calendar and approved a resolution asking UDOT to place signage dedicating a bridge in Mexican Hat to Chief Special Warfare Officer Jason Ray Workman; the measure passed by unanimous voice vote.
The Utah Senate on the floor approved House Bill 216, a consent calendar bill requesting the Utah Department of Transportation place a sign and record the dedication of a bridge in Mexican Hat in memory of Chief Special Warfare Officer Jason Ray Workman of Blanding, Utah.
Sponsor remarks described Workman’s service and sacrifice, noting he "died serving his country on 08/06/2011, in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter in which he and 30 teammates were riding was shot down during a rescue mission." The sponsor said the dedication would serve "as a long lasting tribute to him and, all local veterans in memory of their sacrifice."
Senate leadership moved the item on the consent calendar, called the question, and the chamber recorded a unanimous voice vote in favor. President Niederhauser directed that the vote be recorded.
The action places a state record of the dedication and asks the Department of Transportation to post signage indicating the bridge’s dedication. No amendments or additional debate were recorded on the floor.
