Members praise Chair Littleton as subcommittee adjourns
Summary
Members of the Children and Family Affairs Subcommittee offered tributes to Chair Littleton at the April 8 meeting, thanking her for long service on child-safety issues before the chair adjourned the meeting.
Committee members used the meeting's closing moments to thank Chair Littleton for her years of service on child-welfare issues and to offer personal remarks.
Representative Alexander said of Littleton: "You've been my house. My seat mate, the entire time I've been here on the house floor, I've never known anyone to love children more and want the safety of children more than you." Representative Harris likewise thanked Littleton for her leadership on the committee and said she looked forward to celebrating the chair later.
After the remarks, Chair Littleton said, "If that's it, without objection, we stand adjourned, subject to the call of the chair." The committee then adjourned; no additional votes or actions were taken following the tributes.
