Senator Jauch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Dan Kanninen. Dan will soon be departing Wisconsin and heading to Washington D.C. to be the White House Legislative Liaison to the Environmental Protection Agency. Dan has worked in the Legislature for 11 years; 10 years in Senator Jauch's office, and has very ably and efficiently worked on behalf of Governor Doyle over the last year. We appreciate his commitment to the institution and his support in helping each and every one of us with issues of importance. He has been a true champion of the Legislature and we all wish him well.
Senator Schultz, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Ervin W. Johnson, from Darlington, a remarkably humble and accomplished man. He was a gentleman who exemplified what being a citizen is all about. He made contributions in so many areas; it's hard to describe them all. He is somebody who understood farming in the most Ag dependent county in the state, and was successful and instrumental in bringing many other people into the business. He was an attorney who participated in the State Bar and was regarded as an expert with respect to probate. He was a practicing district attorney for a period of time, and an individual who helped found the Lafayette County Manor. He was a school board member, director of several banks and somebody who in the twilight years of his life sought to give it all back, funding a library with his wife in Darlington. He was very generous with every school district in the county of Lafayette, helping young people realize their dreams for higher education. He will be sorely missed, and Senator Schultz will miss his wise counsel, and hopes that we can adjourn in his honor today.
Senator Leibham, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the life and service of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Amy S. Krueger, and her family who were honored today.
S512
Senator Leibham, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of his son Andrew Leibham of Sheboygan, who is celebrating his third Birthday on January 26, 2010.
Senator Taylor, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Dan Kanninen. The Senator had an opportunity to work with Dan on many occasions, and knows that his work ethic will surely take him far in life.
Senator Lehman, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the S.C. Johnson company and the Johnson family on the January 22, 2010 dedication of Fortaleza Hall, a beautiful compliment to the Frank Lloyd Wright Administration Building and Tower on the south side of Racine, honoring the life and work of Sam Johnson.
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the public service of Liz Stephens, who served in the office of a member of the joint finance committee in each of the last three sessions, including most recently the office of the Senate Co-Chair. We wish her success in her new responsibilities working for the Wisconsin Counties Association.
