Senator Schultz, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the Senate Scholar Program. Each of the Senate Scholar groups has worked hard in the past two weeks, and hopefully they've learned from their experiences. Senator Schultz would like to thank all those who helped put the program together and carry it out. Most notably the Senate Chief Clerk Rob Marchant, and Alex Henvey of the Clerk's office, and Senate Sergeant at Arms Ted Blazel, and Erin Allers of his staff. They deserve the Senate's thanks for putting together an outstanding program. Senator Schultz invites all to the Senate Scholar Hearing in Room 411 South at one o'clock tomorrow. They'll be holding a public hearing and executive session on Senate Scholar Bill 2 dealing with tattoos.
Senator Breske, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Lance Zischka of the Senate Scholar Program who lives in Tomahawk, in the twelfth Senate District.
