This legislative session will be remembered in history as ushering in the most monumental reforms of the century. No session in my memory has changed the course of this state -- and touched every life in this state -- the way the 1995-96 session has. We are charting a bold new course for success in the next millennium.
Tonight, we have set forth another ambitious agenda for the people of Wisconsin. And we pursue that agenda with the confidence that there is no idea too bold for action, no challenge too tough to meet.
We are living in a day of promise. Unlike most Americans, we believe our children will be better off tomorrow than we are today. And we're working hard to make it happen.
We build our economy....put people to work....preserve our natural resources....show zero tolerance for crime....invest in education....and lift the poor out of poverty -- All, so we can provide our children and families with the highest possible quality of life.
And we instill in our children values such as hard work, responsibility and a strong faith in God so they have the confidence to pursue a better future for themselves and their children.
Wisconsin Works -- for today and for tomorrow
In 1894, the great Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes said, "I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
In Wisconsin, we sail. We sail toward our dreams. And sooner or later, no matter what storms we encounter, we arrive safe and sound -- and better for having made the journey.
Good night, and God Bless Wisconsin.
Adjourned.
8:00 P.M.
