Oath of Office
The bible used today to swear in the Members of the Wisconsin State Assembly is being accompanied by Dr. Ellsworth Brown of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
This bible was used to swear in the very first Governor of Wisconsin, Henry Dodge. Congress organized the Territory of Wisconsin on July 3, 1836, when Michigan became a state. The following day, John S. Horner, Secretary of the former Michigan Territory, was sworn in as Secretary of Wisconsin Territory, and on that same Independence Day, Horner used this bible to administer the oath of office to the newly appointed Governor of Wisconsin, Henry Dodge, at Mineral Point. In the same ceremony, Horner used this bible to swear in three of Wisconsin's new Supreme Court judges, William C. Frasier, David Irvin and Charles Dunn (father-in-law of the first Governor of the State of Wisconsin, Nelson Dewey). This historic bible, published in 1829, marks the very beginning of Wisconsin's government.
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 28 of the Wisconsin Constitution, the Honorable Justice David Prosser, Jr. of the Wisconsin Supreme Court administered the oath of office to the members en masse.

Remarks by the Speaker
"On November 2nd, the silent majority spoke. They don't represent any special interest group, but what they do represent is the growing frustration about where we are heading as a country and state. They aren't thrilled with republicans. They're not thrilled with democrats. There have been failed policies on both sides. They demanded that we put our differences aside and move this state forward.
What makes a state exceptional is its people, not its government. Those of you taking the oath today will represent those people with your own skill set, your own experience and your own beliefs. The focus of this session must be to put people back to work and to bring fiscal prosperity back to this state. First thing is first. We must stop spending more money than we are taking in. This will be, I believe, the most difficult session anyone in this body will ever serve. But I believe it will be the most rewarding. Looking at the upcoming session reminds me of a quote I once read by Winston Churchill, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty". In order to get people back to work, we must stop the assault on business. We need to make Wisconsin competitive again. There is no single bill that will jump-start our economy. In fact, the single most important thing we can do as a body is to change the tone of the debate. Private investment is critical to new companies starting and existing companies expanding. Right now, that investment capital is sitting on the sidelines. Wisconsin cannot have tax policy that increases taxes on small businesses and job creators and expect them to grow and expand. Wisconsin cannot have a permitting process that empowers bureaucrats to slow or stop business expansion and expect private development to fight through a maze of red tape. We must not only compete with the states around us but also in the global market. Wisconsin needs to view its economic engine, the private sector, as an ally and not an adversary.
I do not expect us to agree on everything, however I hope there will be fresh ideas to move us forward. I am confident many of those ideas will come from our enormous class of new legislators, republicans and democrats. Nearly one third of this body is being sworn in for the first time. To the freshman class of 2011, welcome, enjoy this day with your families. Then put on your seatbelts. This is going to be a wild two year ride. But at the end of the day, I am confident you will be proud of your accomplishments.
Together all us in this room can make this 100th session not just memorable, but effective and meaningful. My door is always open. It is my goal to have us communicate on a personal level and not on a partisan one. I look forward to working with you all. Thank you and God bless us all."
