IMMEDIATE MESSAGE

REMARKS BY MINORITY LEADER SCHRADER
Schrader of Marion offered the following remarks:
Ladies and Gentleman of the House I understand it is the intent
of the majority party to attempt to close the session down by
midnight, so it looks like we have less than five minutes each.
I'll do my share, Mr. Corbett. 
I would like to begin by saying thank you to friends here in the
chamber, and to you, Mr. Speaker, for the leadership you
provided. You've done a fine job and I am pleased to have served
with you. You deserve the thanks of all of the chamber.  
Representative Siegrist, the same can be said for you - you have
served this body well. You have been willing to share and you
were upfront with the minority caucus and with your members as
well. I appreciate your hard work and I believe that many others
in this state appreciate it also.
I am not going to say an individual thank you to the staffers
that work for Ron and Brent, but I always felt the sign of a
good leader was the people they chose to have around them; the
people that you have chosen are a testament to your leadership.
They are excellent people and you made wise decisions when you
chose them. The people in the well and the people in your
offices are to be complimented. 
I want to thank my staff - Mark Bransgard and Caroline Gaukel.
Occasionally when I revert to the service station or body shop
operator, they get me back on the straight and narrow and remind
me of where I am. The people on our caucus staff: Paulee
Lipsman, I have never seen anyone that worked harder and was
more dedicated; Tom Patterson, Ed Conlow, Mary Brown, Jo Romano,
Jennifer Parsons, Jim Addy, and Ingrid Johnson.  They have all
done a fine job for our caucus, and we appreciate them. 
I want to thank my assistant leaders, Dick Myers, who is absent
from the chamber, Mike Moreland, Pam Jochum, and John Connors.
It has been a team effort and  I would choose these people if I
were choosing up sides again. They are great leaders.
