  1  1                SENATE RESOLUTION NO. ___
  1  2           BY  McLAREN, IVERSON, and GRONSTAL
  1  3 A Senate Resolution recognizing the contribution of a
  1  4    singular farm employee for his contribution to the
  1  5    Senate during the 2000 Session of the Seventy-eighth
  1  6    General Assembly.
  1  7    WHEREAS, during the 2000 Session of the Seventy-
  1  8 eighth General Assembly, the Senate has debated bills
  1  9 and amendments by considering the consequences of
  1 10 legislation on a singular employee running a farm in
  1 11 Cedar county; and
  1 12    WHEREAS, this employee, old beyond his years, is an
  1 13 example of boundless energy and a tireless commitment
  1 14 to his field during all hours of the day and night;
  1 15 and
  1 16    WHEREAS, in addition to his regular duties, this
  1 17 employee, referred to affectionately on a first-name
  1 18 basis by members of the Senate and staff, has
  1 19 illuminated issues before the Senate, while never
  1 20 attempting to lobby any Senator on legislation; and
  1 21    WHEREAS, the old legislative maxim of "that dog
  1 22 don't hunt" cannot be applied to the working life of
  1 23 this farm employee who serves as a constant reminder
  1 24 that when enacting legislation there is little room
  1 25 for a shotgun approach; NOW THEREFORE,
  1 26    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That before returning
  1 27 home from hard days and long nights of work during the
  1 28 2000 Session, the members of the Senate take pause to
  1 29 recognize Old Blue for his shining contribution to the
  1 30 consideration of legislation by the Senate; and
  2  1    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this
  2  2 resolution be delivered by the Secretary of the Senate
  2  3 to the Honorable Senator Jack Rife for presentation to
  2  4 Old Blue.
